Good call Tinman. I think you are going to enjoy the power of the Torii Jr. providing SET sound. Yes, keep your superzen UFO. I sold my Select #76 (see original signature below) and my superzen. Now, I want it back!
The best of both world's is not cliche' here. Power and SET sound with my ZMA and pentodes run in triode again/low power, with either a UFO Rachel or the new Mono's....I have not decided.
https://www.decware.com/cgi-bin/yabb22/YaBB.pl?num=1471401401I did bi-wire way back with my Polk's ....double binding posts with two runs of 8TC. However, once I got my KS3033....I used the 9033 jumper's to low pass and never looked back. DO replace the the cheap tin jumper's on your B&W's with good wire to jump....if you have not already.
Alper, far as bass is concerned....Steve's designs are not bass shy....when run in the proper range in the right size room for SPL's and treated.
Tinman, we will have the best of both world's ~ high and low power of Steve's awesome Amps.
Consider, modifying your B&W's. I modded my Acoustic Zen Adagio's and kept the original X-over's of course to reinstall if I was not pleased....I'm very pleased with the mod for a year and a half running!
Did you get that crackle found?
