Thanks for the advice Bert, I dont mind waiting.
I'm actually quite impressed you find the time to help people like me learn.

I like the singulars with the AER Mk 1 with the phase plugs more than without, but we didn't play with the crowns when I listened. (I had no idea what they did at the time)

So the wooden phase plugs it is. I might play with some copper pipe crowns later on. I think the biggest doubt I have is how my amplifier and 15 year old S-bit Yamaha cd player will sound with some good speakers.
The amp is about 5 year old - a quick class AB made by harman kardon, they call it "25 amp high current" which doesn't make a lot of sense to me, and I'm an electronics technician! The only practical reasons I can see is you can drive speakers with very ugly crossovers and it makes it easy to burn a speaker out if you run it into clipping.
I expect it will be rather harsh compared to the valve amp I heard.

If it sounds bad I will buy a T amp and build it into my cd player. A stealth T amp using the headphone volume control.
Then it's time to learn how these vacuum tubes work. I don't encounter them much in my work.
