Bren, you should really recuse yourself from posting in threads dealing with tube amps.
Me, JohnK, Alan...
Actually I like tube amps. On stage and in the studio. Once that nice warm sound's been committed to CD, I like a perfect reproduction of it in my home.
Same reason I don't put a wah or overdrive in an effects loop on my stereo.

Man, that would just be fun. A wah pedal attached to your stereo. I wonder what that would sound like...

So I take it you've painstakingly treated your basement for optimal sound reproduction and have no SPL deviations across the entire audible spectrum?

Nah, of course not. That's something everyone will chase and no one will catch.
But I do refrain from using light bulbs as amplification circuits.

Now there is something I can agree with.

What? WHAT? You brought a glass down into the den of audio equilibrium? You know what that will do for the refracted sound waves? Geeeez...
And honey... when I calibrated this room, I did it on the assumption that you'd always be about 125lbs, you're probably up aroun... okay, sorry, sorry... uh, put down the Zippo and can of WD40!

I drive M60 with Rotel pre-amp RC-1070, amp RB-1080, and cd player RCD-1072.
The first impression is the sound is a little harsh. But i figure out that because of my room acoustic. I add some acoustic foam to reduce first reflection point and it sounds much better. I'm still working on it until i'm tired ...:)

So what is the actual budget then? You mention "long shot" for $10k, but that does not provide clear price points.
Depending on your budget, you could be looking at a wide range of products.

Actually I have been looking hard at the Rotel RB-1080 amp and the RC-1070 preamp, I read some good things about Rotel and the dealer which is about 40 miles away is the closest dealer of any brands...that I've found so far.
Budget? Probably realistically 5 or so, give or take a little either way.
[edit] Oh btw, that budget would be for the speakers and amps, preamps. I have a couple of cd players and the sub, if need will be added at a later point in time.
