Moving sale – much more to come. Lii Audio Crystal 10 open baffle one way (crossoverless) speakers, Tube Depot Tubecube 7 single ended triode 3.5w/channel amplifier with new Mullard tubes, REL TZero Mk3 subwoofer connected via high level (speaker wire) outputs as recommended by REL Can demo with the output of my Wiim Pro Plus streamer (shown below the amp, not included) but of course you will want to employ a proper DAC, probably R2R if not a tube DAC. If you want the Wiim or perhaps my Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt we can discuss This is direct, unaltered signal transmission, immediately recognizable as such – with all the advantages of nearfield listening. Amazing at low volumes. As is, this will not replace your “main” audio system – it’s a “fun” listen for sure, just not a large one. Read the Decware tube forums to see how audiophiles employ open baffles in large systems – but you will need a much, much larger tube amp for that and a decent amount of room space. Solid state amps likely will not sound good – I have tried Rega, Arcam, Onkyo, Wiim and none were good matches – the only SS amp that sounded good was my Leak Stereo 230 (although the signal processing spatial modes of the Onkyo were great fun to watch) Can demo as shown but serious inquiries only please – this is a giveaway (no discount) price, and the speakers are even more beautiful in person than in the photo Note: I am original owner of the REL and the Tubecube. The Tubecube has about 30 hours on it – 20 with original Chinese tubes which sounded fine but one was faulty, so I ordered a new set of Mullards from tube depot which have probably no more than 10 hours and are operating perfectly. Have original boxes for both See https://www.tubedepot.com/products/tubecube-7-stereo-vacuum-tube-amplifier and https://www.decwareproducts.com/betsy
