Acoustic Zen Crescendo
That's great to hear that you found your desired match for these speakers. It just goes to show how different amp topologies can provide satisfaction with the same speaker.  I recently got to listen to the Crescendos with my LM 508ia and the sound... 
Line Magnetic 508ia and the Elusive 805 Tube
By the way, are any of you 508 owners using separate preamps? If so, what are you using?

I'm also interested in your impressions of the Cossor. I've been pretty active in teh Steve Hoffman thread - I'm also interested in better options to the Psvane 805ATs. 
Line Magnetic owners...how quiet are they?
I own a 508ia and experience no hum whatsoever. I have read of the odd number of users who experienced this issue with LM amps, however not at a rate higher than I hear regarding other manufacturers. 
Line magnetic 518 with Harbeth SHL5+
Why not go with the 508ia, which uses 805 tubes and spits out 48W of SET power. IMO the Harbeths will require more power than what the 518ia can give you. 
Review: Verastarr Grand Illusion Series Power cord
I'll have to add to the praise of the Grand Illusions. I have them on all my equipment now. I have the HC (High Current) version powering my RSA Elgar Power Conditioner. I also have the regular Grand Illusions on my DAC, amp, and Linear Power Supp... 
Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ?
I have a question for those of you with the Line Magnetic 508ia. I've recently purchased this amp, and I'm using it with a pair of Acoustic Zen Adagios - soon to be Crescendos. My question for the 508ia users is are you using a preamp/linestage wi...

Thanks wig for the feedback. I ordered a pair of the EML XLS and should have them tomorrow.

Any new Crescendo owners love to share their experience with this speaker? I'm considering upgrading to it this year. It's between these and the Coincident Total Victory Vs for me. Are the long-term owners still loving their Crescendos?

Seeing as there are a few Line Magnetic 508ia cognoscenti on here, I have a question regarding your 300B driver tube experience. Has anyone used one of either the Elrog 300B or the EML 300B XLS as their driver. I know they do not meet standard 300...

Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts?
I have interest in purchasing the Elrog 300Bs. Have there been any other experiences since the last glowing post by diminishing_returns who surprisingly has that one and only post on audiogon? Have the reliability issues been ironed out - any user... 
Hot off the press: Yggdrasil review
I'm finding it hard to understand why it is okay for bigkidz to come apeddling his wares in a thread of a competing product. Blatantly extolling the virtues of his product without a care in the world for the grossly unethical stench it brings. Fir...

Finally! Good riddance to that troll.
