James and Steve, I got a spindle hole reamer about 2 months ago. Mine is a Clearaudio. Expensive but very well made and feels good in the hand. I never had the need for one, but my Dr. Feickert Blackbird has a spindle that seems to be just too snug for some albums. The reamer does the trick. Tools and tweaks, they will never end...
Steve, my speakers are also 4 ohm rated but I know they dip well below 2 ohm. I use the 4 ohm taps on the amp and that sounds better than the higher taps. I look forward to my forthcoming speakers. They have a very tight impedance curve, nearly flat at 6 ohm up and down the audio spectrum, and are 96db sensitivity. Those will be a really good pairing with my amp. It's been a long wait and in April I was advised that late May or sometime in June is the likely ship date.
