Either feed the CR-1's sufficiently or find something more efficient that provides for a wider range of low to medium powered tube or SS amplifier possibilities IMO.

Happy Holidays Folks

Joe...as an ex-NOLA owner, I would think the new KOs with the Ref 75 as exhibited at RMAF and lauded by Mike, PC and others might just be the ticket. Not to replace your TAD system but to supplement it with system #2 as a different flavor. If you sell your Burm monos that could fund that system plus you will have another $10K left over

Or, if you sell the Dyns, consider buying the Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne. It's a great speaker for a ridiculously low price, would mate well (and shows with) darTZeel and would be a better load for your new ARC.
