Whats the FATTEST sounding Tube amp to warm up Lean speakers?

"A word about Bobby RIP. I think he was a total genius, and i admire his speakers."

I agree.

In the case Of Merlins, they really like Cardas. Bobby really loved the Cardas Clear SE and Golden Reference both in interconnect and speaker cabling. Also, JPS labs Superconductor and Aluminata.

Hey Tubegroover, great to hear from you! All good here less that "bug" I have to try the Joseph Audio Perspectives in my set up. This will probably pass as they fortunately/unfortunately (take your pick) seldom come onto the used market. I'll take 2 aspirins and chill-out. :-)

Your Quickies are built like tanks an are lifetime keepers. Your in great shape.

Concourr with your sentiments about designers driven by continued design improvements and their products integrity. They are the brands to own IMO as well.

JE & Merlin owners can rejoice and rest assured having rich @Signature Sound to carry the torch for these brands. Besides his EE background, he's very knowledgeable with both product lines and been there from the get-go with Bobby & Jud Barber. No one is more qualified to be in this postion than rich

Disclaimer: I have know rick for 20 years and done and will do future business with him for this reason alone although he's also a good dealer and fair and honest person to deal with. Also, characteristics of people we all enjoy doing business with on a continued basis. 

Happy listening and have a great 2019.

Jim
