I almost went to this - it's too bad because I wanted to listen to the Audio Note kits together. Though a lot of people liked their rooms quite a bit. Oh well next time.
i wonder how it sounds, - as for tubes nothing very impressive in that audio fest :(
Good idea to put the midrange closer to hears, but very looking bad in positionning, they look too high

Hiya lads
Just got a rare 4-channel Messenger tube preamp with a tube power supply that looks like it has 300b tubes as well as other types - I have to check. Would like to get into 300b SET amps but they are just not powerful enough to drive The Maidstone (91db - 4ohm). The horns above probably sound great - but Bobsticks is right about them being impractical for most of us mere mortals.

you could try a secondary system too, something with higher sensitivity speakers...
giving up the maidstones would be like, stupid. But limiting your audio experience because of the speakers is too, so a possible solution could be a good secondary system...
Keep them spinning,
