Well, it's been a long road. I really want to thank the members of the Audiogon for the help over the past several years. Got loads of good advice here and it all paved my way to audio nirvana or at least close to it. I'm very happy with my system at this point and don't plan to be changing it for some time if at all. I'm really glad to back into vinyl again. What a revelation on this system! I looked into several other options for turntables and such but decided to go local with a solid German brand that is distributed here in Seoul, Korea. Thanks for viewing the fruits of my efforts. Expensive but most certainly worth the ride. Most enjoyable research project I've ever undertaken.
Hi Washline, the Altos impedance is not really very tube friendly. I would stick to solid state. I havent heard the new Krells but I hated the old Krells with Utopias. A SS Mac should work fine if thats your flavor.
I looked at your system pictures and maybe its the photography, but those speakers look like theyre much too close together and in a very confining space. If picture 1 is representative, and youre stuck with it, you need new speakers, not amps, IMHO.
