My teenage kids needed a rec room and I hooked the system into the HDTV unit. As much as I love tubes this would have been nothing but problems with young adults.

The long term emotion and fatigue factors are the reasons.

I did try it once a couple of years ago, which only reminded me of all the reasons why... Quality tube preamps though, that I could live with, but prefer not to. I'm glad that y'all like your tubes however & I have heard some great tube systems belonging to others; it's just not for me.
