So, what music are you listening to now?

It's interesting to note that my Vandersteen Threes (which I got cheap) were voiced on Audio Research tube amps. Should I ever win the Irish Sweepstakes I would spring for AR tubeage but since I'm a poor tinkerer and a cheap sumbitch...

....resurrecting an old style tech set of biamp Magnavox console amps suffices for me. (best of both worlds, single ended high frequency amp 6AT6>6V6GT and parallel push pull low frequency amp 12AT7>(4)6V6GT on each chassis).

I know it is SS but check out the MC250. It sounds like a tube amp and can keep up with the MC275 tube amp. Hard to believe. A good example can be had for $800 bucks or less. A unit in need of a rebuild and not on perfect condition can be had for a fraction of that price. Go to the McIntosh AK forum and search. There is a recent thread on the MC250. I think I might try one out myself.
