Tube amp $2-3K used

The Rogue M-150 is a good choice.

Chris, I have an active crossover for that purpose. The overall system efficiency is about 88-89db. I have been known to play at realistic orchestral levels at times (90-100 db). The room is L-shaped in the rear and the length is about 25-27 ft with a 7-7 1/4 ft ceiling and the width is about 15 ft but there is an enclosed staircase on the right which reduces the usable width to about 12-13 ft. No need for balanced connections. As far as biasing is concerned, putting a screwdriver in a slot is as complicated as I want to get. Also I am 6'5" tall and about 300 lbs so crawling on the floor behind some amp while balancing some screwdriver and meter is out.

AudioK, I have a pair of Sforzando JL1 speakers. They are wonderful. Here's their website.

you that listed lots of primo equipment. the boogie factor would be totally dependant on loudspeakers though.

Hopefully, Russ (Rcprince) will chime in here - he owns these speakers as well. I am quite impressed with their sound of his, the imaging is haunting. And, the priest who designs them is also a member of the NJAS, you may want to ask him, if Russ can put you in contact with him - Father is very open and honest.

Sonic Frontiers Power 2, better than ARC VT-100 of any versions in most area for less money used.
