300B Warmup versus other tube or SS amps?
 I ran (run) a Cary SLP 98P  Pre with a Cary V12R then a Cary Cad 120's and the manual calls for a 5 min warm up for the pre and 3 min warm up for the amps. Not sure on the Canary M 350's so I warm them up for 10-15 min. All the amps seem to sound... 
300B Warmup versus other tube or SS amps?
I have Canary M350 mono's and warm them up for 10 min and run the system on low for 30 min. After an hour it sounds better. I don't know how long these amps are supposed to be warmed up before using. Love the sound.  
What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced?
If something has been repaired, most times that means the unit has been shipped. I would want to know that. Don't ask don't tell is still lying through omission of the truth. Sellers should use full disclosure when selling.

Highest BUILD quality tube amps?

HUMIDITY
I set my a/c at 79-80 degrees. Humidity is 38 to 48% I average 24 kwh during the hottest months and 14kwh the rest of the year. I have great insulation. The room is 18x12.5 8 foot ceilings and about a total of 1185 sq feet. I check the meter daily... 
HUMIDITY
Thanks to all. I'm in Fl so with the a/c it's usually 38 to 46% sometimes lower in the winter.  
Floor-Standards to Monitors?
I agree with jperry. I did that and regretted it in 7 months. As good as Lipinski L707's sound (I also used 2 subs) I'd rather wrestle with big speakers and big drivers including the hassle of shipping them. It took me 6 months to get the price I ...
