Preamp for Bryston 4b3 & Tannoy Cheviots
IF you are thinking tube, be aware of the impedance mismatch. Should make you look to a Supratek.  (I own a 4b3 but not a Supratek)  
Full range stand mounted speakers
I would get rid of the cats instead of the speakers.   
How Do Amps Affect Soundstage?
Mossy, I also have a 4B3 Bryston. I’ve been searching for a compatible Tube Pre that matches without blowing my load on an ARC Ref 6.  The pairing makes a ton of sense on paper.  Following with great vim and vigor.   
Budget preamp with quality volume control
Zlone, interested in your comment above.   I have a Bryston 4B3 (7.5kohm input impedance). The Schiit Freya + has been mentioned several times on this forum as a decent low cost match.   Freya + has a 75 ohm output impedance.  Not sure why this wo... 
Magnapan LRS+ VS .7

Florida Audio Expo - Budget Room
Anyone know the owners/principals of this RJS Acoustics company?  I’ve been emailing and posting. No response.

Building a new system…looking for thoughtful recommendations
Thanks for the sage advice Hoosier.  I really can’t wait to get them set up. As for the AVM, I do t see pricing anywhere for the add on DAC and the Phono Stage? 
Building a new system…looking for thoughtful recommendations
The Bryston gives plenty of detail and plenty of power at every level, but I do feel it lacks some roundness when listening to say a great Van Morrison record.  So in my mind some tubes will help. To be honest I do believe music is best played lou...
