| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K Legacy and The Spendor towers sound incredible with tube amplification.

| MoFi Ultradeck or Technics 1200GR heard them both, same dealer. walked out with the GR. if you like smooth, laid back and rounded off get the mofi. if you like steady, dynamic, detailed, smooth and neutral go technics. not even close IMHO. | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? @rcronk ironically the OP's Technics Sl1200GR beats the Rega P6 based on my listening experiences. sound quality may not be the goal here... | |

| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? hope you had a chance to hear the C7s also. more natural than the SHL5+ and bigger sound than the 30s. A great speaker. FYI adding a good subwoofer (i recommend JL audio) makes the sound bigger as well. | |
| Highest detail cartridges Ortofon Cadenza Blue. Stunningly good cartridge with the right phono preamp. | |
