This effort is to try an get some living space back that's being used by 2 subs. I better come clean on this. I've got my regular audio system, mentioned above, but also in the same room is a Denon 2809 receiver, 5 Mirage nanosats and 1 Mirage nan... 
Speaker recommendation
No I don't. The room is not a dedicated audio room. It's a generic Den/TV room that needs to be multi-purpose for all.That's far too much money for me. New is out; maybe used. It looks like selling the PSBs will hardly make a dent.

How much are these C1's? And...what are my PSB Silvers, mint with boxes, in cherry, worth? 
Speaker recommendation
Manitunc, I guess it's satisfying; I've had it for about 4 years. But I've always hated this room. Like a small bed-not enough room to stretch out. Maybe the Silvers are just not able to stretch out. I'm not gonna be here forever but I'll never ha...

Thanks Bizango. I've never heard the Goldi and frankly assumed PSBs were just thin throughout the line. Any idea of cost? They look like "they might be giants"...a bit large for my space which is, Ejlif, 13'-6" x 13'-6". 
Rogue plate voltage
For those that visited and for other Rogue Mag99 owners, Mark O'Brien has informed me that the 5692 tube is OK to use. Also he said that the plate to cathode voltage is less than 100V. So there. 
Rogue 99 Mag re-tube Q
Thanks Dubi1. I've been looking for a pair of '52s but no luck yet. Do you have a pair to sell? I've heard a lot about them and the KRs. Anyone out there with a pair of '52s or a pair of TS-RP, please contact me. 
Rogue 99 Mag re-tube Q
Thanks Kevziek. What did you put in your M99? Can you describe the sound? 
Belles 20A.. comments/comparison to Rogue 99Mag?
WOW...such a response! Maybe I should narrow the field a bit more. Does anyone anywhere know anything about the Belles 20A pre amp and is willing to comment on it?

Thanks Cellorover for the common sense approach. I thought the Belles and the Rogue were a good match which is why I was a bit disappointed with some cds. I beginning to believe that what you and some others have said, and what my compromised ears...

I've got 99 mag cabled to a Belles 150 HotRod. I'm looking for more bass. The set up is clear, defined and quiet. Jazz CDs , via a Rega Jupiter sent to PSB silvers, sounds great with the gain all the way up. But rock has the bass sucked out. Can r...

I am reading all of these posts with scrutiny. There are many different opinions that lead me to believe there is no "Oracle" on this subject. From a simple matter of rock recordings just suck to an installing an equalizer or some other tone devic...

Thanks for the replies. To answer a few questions- the rig is set up in a typical 14 x 14 living room with 9' ceilings, carpeted and the usual furniture. Speakers are about 7'-8' apart. The thing is jazz recordings sound great-I mean great. But wh... 
Is the MR85 Mcintosh Tuner any good.?
Mac is good stuff. Their products have always been highly regarded and the 85 is of the same built quality. Overpriced but high quality. They got the lock on the classic "industrial duty" look. IMHO a little too much so. But hey, I'm from Mac's ho...
