I would also be really interested in pairing a power amp with an Electronic Tonalities Foreplay amp.

Are there any decent offerings in the $300 price range? I was considering pairing a Cambridge Audio P500.

I listen to some electronic music, which may not sound really good with a tube amp. However, I notice that both the Axioms and Paradigms are a little bright, so a preamp like the Foreplay would do a nice job of smoothing the sound out a bit, giving me a nice smoothness and clairty.

I did see a really beautiful rebuilt ST-70 on audiogon selling for $599, however, this is a bit beyond my price range.

In a tube offering however, how do Axioms compare to a good pair of horns, like the omega TS3's or TS2's?
