What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?

Rebbi,
As is typical of building a new house, stuff happens. We were originally scheduled to move in by the end of May. Apparently that was optimistic and it now looks like it will be end-of-June, hopefully. So, given that, time to get settled in, regain our bearings, I would expect to order the AN sometime in late July. At about that same time I'll likely order the Franks unless I can find them used in the meantime. I really need, must go to some shows, travel to LA and NYC to listen to various speakers to pair with the Franks that I have on my wish list. Luckily I'm often in LA, NYC or Chicago. At any rate, the AN will be paired with our Tekton Lore.

Saki, so glad the BT 6CA7 has worked out for you. They are stellar in my Coincident Dynamo.

Rebbi,
Based on your continued highly positive and enthusiastic comments it seems quite apparent that your Audio Note kit amplifier is an excellent match with your current speaker. There is no reason for you to rush into another pair speakers at this point, you are enjoying your music in the highest form and this is commendable. That Omega speaker does seem to be very intriguing and definitely something to consider further down the road.
Charles,

Rebbi,
Keep your eyes open for a pair of used Coincident Triumph Extreme IIs. If a pair comes up, buy them. However, don't hold your breath waiting for me to sell mine. Not happening, unless I find a pair of used Super Victories. Meanwhile, enjoy!

Brownsfan,
I am in no position to buy the Triumph Extreme II speakers now, but knowing how good the Total Eclipse are, and having a room too small for them, I would love to have them hooked up to my Kit One. I would buy them without hearing them, because Israel designs great speakers. You are making me drool.
Rebbi,
Like everyone else, I am really happy that you are loving the music your Kit One is making. If you have just a little money to spend, I have a recommendation. As you know, I switched out the stock 300btubes to the Black Treasures, and it was a really nice improvement for my tastes, although I also liked the stock tubes. However, as I mentioned last week on Charles' system thread, I replaced my rectifier tube and my 6sn7. I believe it is the 6sn7 that is responsible for the amazing difference in the fidelity of the amp now. It's not shades of difference, it is right there. The tube was chosen on the advice of Andy from Vintage Tube Services, and it is an RCA from the forties, I paid $46.00.
If you can spring for one, DO IT! Where before I thought that plucked strings on an acoustic guitar sounded great, I realize now that they were not nearly as focused and natural as they are now, and they reveal much more about variations in touch and volume. It's the same way with everything though. It is so much easier to hear how recordings were mixed, and just hear more true to life sound in recordings where it exists.
It is hard to believe that this could make such a difference, but it did. Once again, Andy didn't steer me wrong. He said that the difference would be night and day, and it is. I have found over the years that even though I can perceive what is missing in the way music is being reproduced by my system, it is really hard to imagine what an "improvement" to the sound would consist of until I actually hear it. That said, when it happens, especially to this degree, it's a real treat. I have a new found respect for the amp as well as my speakers. You are halfway there, as I know that you already have an upgraded rectifier tube in your amp.

Roxy,
Thanks a lot for the tip! I can probably rustle up $46 for that tube and if you like it that much it seems worth a try. Thank you.
As for the 274 B, mine is a Chinese Psvane. When Brian sent it to me (some of the tubes for my kit had originally been backordered) he said it was "a nice little upgrade." It is certainly a sharp LOOKING tube and looks great between the choke transformer and the mains transformer. :-) I haven't done a lot of comparing of the sound of that tube to the 6SN7 that I have, but I can tell you that it is a much quieter tube then the Russian 6SN7 that shipped with my unit when Pete returned it from Florida. So that's a plus right there.
