Don't forget I run a Mcintosh MX110- Z tube preamp/tuner and that is a wonderful compliment to my 2 SS amps.

Thank you

Going by your list there are many great reviews of those spekaers and people who absolutely love them - you do not. SO in the end you will have to do one heck of a lot of listening and make sure there are no problems with your acoustic environment or your amplification.

For instance if you've always owned SS gear that might in fact be where your problem lies - When I first heard SET from Audio Note - that was not what I expected Single ended amplification to sound like - to me there is no going back because once liked SS amps are virtually unlistenable. Not all SET is created equal either - and no one says you;ll like it.

But it's the roads you have not gone down that is where to look.
