Description

Finally getting my system were I want it. I'm running SED Winged 6550's in the primalunas, I prefer these over the stock KT88's and the EH EL34's.

The Stein Speaker match really clean up the sound, especially effective since the maggies can be very revealing.

Considering next upgrade maybe one of the following:

1. Stein Harmonizer

2. Rythmic Subwoofers

3. VPI Classic 3 TT

Hi Koryodell,

Can you tell me which Tonians, and First Watt amp you went for? I'm a proud owner of the TL-D1 MK3 SE. Wonderful speakers.

Thank you,
