Well, the aforementioned Audion Silver Nights monoblocks are valve amps but they have transistor-like qualities in the bass area. I certainly didn't notice a recessed sound-stage, more like a big soundstage (I mean, the things at the front sounded really up front, and the things at the back sounded really at the back...isn't that what everyone wants? :-) ). I am not saying they are the amps for every occasion - I am saying they suited the Cadences. HerculePirate;220173 Wrote: > the Krell 400xi tells the truth.
