I also feel like I should throw the Proacs (it seems like there are a few in my price range) in. They might also play nicely with my Leben integrated. 
Downgrading from Rega P5, what next?
I sold my p2 when my twins turned 2. I went down the Technics 1200 route. I think that the Technics is a bit more rugged than the Rega. There is also a decent number of people that offer upgrade paths. I currently have my power outboard and have a... 
New Zu Mission cable
I too have really noticed an improvement with the Missions. I bought two long RCA runs to replace weaker cables in my system (you can visit some of my older threads where I deliberated about moving my rack back between my speakers and using shorte...

So I have had the Leben 300XS up and running for around three days now, and it is spectacular. If anyone is looking for a good match, this is a great one. It is a great performer across the board. I would still say that the Miniwatt is a great per...

That makes sense.

I've talked to them a bit recently. They are having some issues displaying the prices based on location on their website so they are displaying European pricing. The $1500 for the Omen is the European price (I'm almost sure). The Omen is the $1000...

I would definitely throw the Miniwatt amp into the affordable and very very enjoyable amp camp for the Superflys. I'm sure the Leben will be a step up, but I could easily live with this combo for a while. Very musical, engaging. It's probably a gr...

I pulled my Miniwatt out of my second system, butchered a pair of banana terminated speaker cables and fired mine up tonight. I was over waiting for the new amp. Adequate speaker cable, the 2.5 watt miniwatt, and very little attention to setup bes...

Mine have arrived but, in a strange twist, are sitting idle in my room waiting for an amp. Funny that. Should have some reports starting next weekend. My gut on the price increase: I think that they are still trying to find their sweetspot in the ... 
Where do you have your rack?
The tv speakers could contribute. I have been looking for a good cover for the tv but usually just use a thick towel. Window coverings will get handled in the next fee weeks. Tvad and stanwall-you guys hit the nail on the head for me. Those longer... 
Where do you have your rack?
Steve: It looks like we are dealing with a lot of the same dynamics. I just posted a picture of my renovated room, but yours have given me some ideas (I'm not sure why I still want the amps between the two speakers--seems like I could have my amps... 
Where do you have your rack?
A few things: Dorkwad (great alias): it did improve, but my room had so many problems when I made the move that I have now addressed that I'm not entirely sure of the impact. My only real beef is the loss of flexibility and the requirement for a n...

The new shortlist: PrimaLuna Prologue 5 (I already have the 3 pre) Triode A300 SEMelody I2A3 (a little over my budget) Tube Audio Lab 300B Almarro 318AAny Zu owners running any of these? Any other thoughts? Tim 
Tube Power Amp Recommendations around $2000
Having previously owned a set of Druids, I do think that the choice of amplification is pretty critical. Right now, I'm running a PrimaLuna Prologue 3 and Wyred4Sound monoblocks that I will likely keep. When I had the Druids the Prologue 3 + 5 pow...

Phil: What did you end up finding for amps for your friend? And what do you like with your Zu's? Put my order in yesterday for a batch 2 august ship. Tim
