The speaker/amplification wars continue

I asked you this in another thread and you never answered is that Richard Gray the same guy as Richard Gray Power Company?

Are you just trying to sell this amp without paying fees,lol.....I had a defy 7 for 3 or 4 years,its ok...nothing i would suggest anyone buying...pain in the ass and kind of dangerous to bias if not really knowledgeable  plus extremely expensive to retube....

Yes The one and only
Richard the electrical genius.
He;'s been harping on me, **You have the wrong speakers** with my Seas 87db + DEfy 7. 
He was right all along, Had I listened I could have prevented going down the expensive Thor upgrade road.
Now I am going FR/high sedsn, now he's harping , **you have the wrong amplification***
He may be correct, not sure til i catually get his 211 amp he designed. 
I think he  sells this amp, didn't say  specifically, all he said is *folks who use MY 211 and 250,,,,** So I am guessing I can sell my Defy and get his 211. 
Sunday he'll be at his shop, i'll get the amp, and will know whats up with the SET sound.

WEll it does have tons of reserve power.
And Ricahrd is willing to install some higher quality pots for very easy biasing and far more flexibility, = the ones Jadis installed just a pinch one way or the other. I think for $300 he’ll install all 4.
So that issue can easily be resolved.
Yes 12 tubes X $40-$50.
$500 for 2k hours. I plan to go 2500-3k.
What the defy does possess are the massive blue Philips caps, which are worth their weight in pure Gold. Those caps, 2 on top, 4 underneath are musically magical.
+ I upgrade the 12 caps under chassis to Mundorf SESGO, really super nice in bass/upper bass.
No snakeoil, I heard the upgrade , even blind test i could say which is which.
Most of the resistors have been upgraded to Takman Rey’s, Which made some gains.
All in all this is one very musical amplifier, which i am not sure i want to part with.
Its is Jadis you do realize.
The issue with lack of separation in orchestral instruments may be more to do with the FR speakers.
can’t say for sure til i hear the RG211.
Then I’ll get a good idea what the Defy is all about.Its potential.
+ I’m not so sure these Svet 6550’s are superior to EHKT88’s. RG says its the same tube.
Not sure.
I’m thinking I can get some more out the Defy with the EHKT88’s.
+ These Svet 6550’s are getting up there on hours, 1500-2k, so some of the upper shine is rubbing off.
All these factors have to be considered in this shootout of the Defy6550/used tubes vs the RG211. 
+ Have a  higher quality FR arriving  next week, a  4 inher, Again allowing for more testing and superior judging. 
Could take some time before we get some clear ideas whats going on  here in this shootout of SET vs PP.
RG's 211 has  high quality trans,. vs Jadis' massive trans. 
This could end up with a  
System 1 and System 2. 
Keep Defy + add the RG211.

without paying fees,

~~~Of course pay fees, But I will pay ship,. But not so sure i want to take the loss with all my recent upgrades. If the RG211 does everything right, then I'll have no choice but to sell the Defy. 
If SET system is superior to system PP amp, why hold onto the Defy??
