I just replaced the output tubes in the VT100. Re-set the DC balance, and re-set the bias. It's sounding great. I am always looking at what to upgrade next, but for now the Adagio's are staying. BTW, I am also using a Focal JM Labs SW900 subwoofer.

I also have them about 5 feet from the rear wall and 3 feet from the sides. The Adagios are driven by an ARC VT200MKII.
