Whats the FATTEST sounding Tube amp to warm up Lean speakers?
@drumbeatCongrats on the Joules!! Curious what type and brand of output tubes does it comes with? I ask because I've seen replies stating 6550 - KT88 etc (myself included). When I mentioned TS 6550 solid plate vintage I did because they are very w... 
Whats the FATTEST sounding Tube amp to warm up Lean speakers?
I'll go as far to say it's not the tube amp but rather your choice of tubes. Vintage little Mullards are extremely warm sounding. Vintage Tung Sol 6550's solid plates are warm like Mullards but with the EL34's glorious mids that are known for but ...

Tim I have never had build up in the volume pot cause the unit to shut down where you have power cycle the unit to get it to work again. But what I have had seen with build up on the volume - balance or tone controls is a static sound that will co...

I agree with mofimadness4. Almost sounds like the Rotel doesn't have a proper ground causing static to be discharged through the electronics and not the case. 
Best amp for Raidho Speakers
br3098 I think you're mistaken. Dantex (parent company of Raidho) bought GamuT. 
Raidho C1.1 for metal/rock?
As a D series owner I would say for the sound you're looking for the XT series would be a better choice for the music you prefer. The XT3's are incredible and can rock. The C and D series offer more layers of resolution and are somewhat laid back.... 
What to do...What to do?
I just use my ears. After looking for speakers many years ago I listened to several and one day I heard the sound I was looking for. To me it was the sound I was after although I thought they were quite ugly (beauty is in the eyes of the beholder)...

Where to put one's best power cords??

Audible differences between speaker cables?
andy2 I never believed in cables all the way until I tried some. 
Do you trust Audiogon?
I trust AudioGon. It's sellers and buyers I'm leary of. I've only purchased a few things over the years and have never had a problem and in fact the transactions were great. But a few years ago there was a dealer on this site that had good feedbac... 
Have you ever changed speakers to expereince a different "soundscape" or presentation??
Yes it happened to me once. I was a super die hard Dynaudio lover (had C1 sig's). I thought they couldn't be beat as far as imaging - sound stage and detail. Then my local dealer took me to a clients home to hear a speaker he had on demo. That was... 
KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4?
@mountainsongAre the speakers going to be on the 12’ or 18’ wall? If on the 18’ wall I personally think either speaker speaker would be too much. On the 12’ wall either would be fine.Is there anyway you can demo the speakers? Both are really diffe...
