105db/W high efficiency speaker suitable for low power SET
@ clio09I had Apogee Duetta Signature driven by Krell KSA 150 from 1989 to 1999. But recently I enjoy nice timber and nuanced details out of SET tube amplifier.This speaker works well with small power SET.It will be good idea for you to contact M... 
105db/W high efficiency speaker suitable for low power SET
Avant Garde is a horn speaker.Many people including me find the bass integration of subwoofer with horn is not very seemless.This Arion Apollo is more coherent and more affordable(?) at 24K$.

Just out of box, GCII gave nice impression of excellent dynamics and bloom.But when I played Eva Cassidy I got somewhat disappointed with lack of details compared with silver cables.Most cables need burn in and with time going by they sound more r... 
Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers
+1 to helomechAfter changing 12Ax7 with Telefuken and 12au7 with Brinmar NOS tube it is a very good amplifier to drive your speaker.  
105db/W high efficiency speaker suitable for low power SET
I really like Arion Apolllo speakers with 105 db/W high efficiency.But I am not willing to give up Lansche 4.1 speaker with pristine treble out of plasma tweeter.I do not have enough room to place two speakers side by side at my listening space ...

@ teo_audio I will keep burning in GC2 as you suggest.For your information, it sounds pleasant right out of box with good overall balance and excellent bass.But it falls significantly short of detail offered by Audio Note or Zenwave D4.In the mean... 
A tubed integrated amp for Joseph Audio Pulsars?
Rogue Cronus II with stock tube is just good.But after changing 12Ax7 with Telefuken and 12au7 with Brinmar NOS tube it is a very good amplifier to drive your speaker.

@ douglas_schroederThanks for  your kind word.I have a serious system with Lansche 4.1 speaker driven by either Silbatone 300B SET or Line Magnetic 508 SET amp.Eva Cassidy’s voice is a good test for details and clean treble of cable.Through Audio ...

Dear OPUltra is comparable to Zenwave D4 on price.So it will be fair to compare those two.But at Audiogon site, only balanced Ultra is listed not RCA.Thomas

I received Teo GCII today.To compare with Zenwave D4 on same condition.I used combination of Teo GCII and Crystal Cable.Wow it has more definition and sharper focus than combination of Zenwave D4 and Crystal Cable.But latter has more details and l...

Dear OpYou also have good result of hetero combination of two different IC cables.I expect to get Teo GCII next Tuesday.I will also try out combination of Teo GCII and Crystal Audio cables.It this kind of hetero combination is working, then the ge... 
My Audio System and Invitation.
One of plasma tweeter stopped working today.It has been 5 years and 5000 hours on it. Thus it is about time to replace it.I had contact with Lansche Audio for replacement.But I did not expect it to die before Feb 9th.Without one tweeter working, t...

Now I am back to Audio Note speaker cables from Teresonic Clarrison Speaker Cables .Although Teresonic Clarrison Speaker Cables is quite good with lot of transparency but fall short of Audio Note speaker cables at dynamics.Also Audio Note SC giv...
