AR m-1 holographic setup help.
AR m-1 holographic setup help.Hope this helps. The A M-1s are a terrific inexpensive speaker when used within their limitations. The AR M-1s are somewhat bass shy and aren't well suited for high SPLs. It would help to know if you're using a sub-wo...

SME IV or Wilson-Benesch Act .5 for Linn LP12?
As I recall the SME is not compatible with the Sondek. Don't know about the Wilson arm. I'd go for a used Ittok or NAIM Arro. Stay away from used Linn EKOS arms as they have bearing problems.

Best tubes for modulus 3A
I have used both Ediswan and Tungsrams from Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio. Both have been very good. I highly recommend the Tungsrams, as they hold up better in the long run in the AI. 
TUNING Sub - Speaker/GenesisV. Anyone?
Gregm: It could be the amplifier was driven into clipping, which can burn the tweeter coil in any speaker pretty quick. How loud were you playing the speakers? How did the tweeter fail, did you burn the coil or does it sound raspy? What kind of mu... 
Genesis or other powered subwoofer speak
I highly recommend the Genesis V over the 500 or the 501. The latter two are a scaled down version of the Gen V. And the Gen V can be had used for $5000 to $6000. 
Apogee s versus a haircut
The Cqlipers demand current and room to breath to sound their best. In their time Krell was their best mate. A cheaper option would be a Classe 25. A low powerd tube amp may sound ok but will not have the current to drive them properly. You may co...
