I originally had an all SS system comprised of Revel Gems, BAT vk-40 preamp, Rowland 201 monoblocks, and an XA9000ES sacd player. It did the "audiophile" thing very well...imaged and staged like crazy, detail was everywhere, etc. But something just wasn't right, I felt. So I decided to completely overhaul my system and went with a 300b tube-based system, and suffice it to say, I have NEVER been happier. I'm done for a looong time.
Really nice system!! I am in the middle of building an all lever 3 system myself. So far I have a pair of conquests with the WE 300B's and the factory AN-E Lexus speakers. I am using AN Lexus LX speaker wire and have 2 sets of 1M AN-Vx interconnects. My next purchase will be an M3 Phono Preamp followed by a CDT-2 and a 3.1 sig combo. Then I will finally be finished. I know what you mean about the sound. I have had a lot of high end gear over the years but none of it ever got the tonality just right. The AN stuff does everything quite well and I am not even finished building the system yet.
