Steve, Are they the Golden Ear with the built in powered subs?
Aside: When I hear good solid state systems (I’ve never owned a really good one) I admire the transparency, linearity, and other capabilities but good tubes are to me by comparison just more human. I often think that other people with ss gear and high end tweeters can hear better than I can and know more and that their stereos are probably “better” than the horns and lower powered tubes that I like, I admit that. I think a lot of this is psychological and not just physical.
