I run a couple of different systems. In my home office I'm driving a pair of Tyler Acoustics Taylo reference monitors with an Adcom GTP-400 preamp and a GFA-555 amp. In my party room I'm running a pair of Klipsch Cornwall 1s from 1983. They are powered by 2 different devices. For Home Theater I'm using an Anthem MRX 720 receiver. For 2 channel I'm using a Willsenton R8 integrated tube amp. Inputs for music are a Sonos connect (for streaming whole house party mode), a Rega RP-1 for vinyl, and an Oppo UDP-205 DVD for CD/Audiophile audio. The Oppo is also my main input for home theater. Looking forward to being part of this circle.

Hey FullRangeMan. I've been really surprised at the build quality and the sound of this amp. I tried tube rolling with a matched set of EL34s but ended but going back to the KT88s that came with the amp. I also like the impact of the Ultralinear mode over triode. Overall this is a steal at $1.5K.
