Bronwyn's guitarist on this is smokin'!    

Really need to discuss the DCM50 vs other drivers-especially drivers like the Radian 745neoBe for my build.   Please reply everyone!    

Think I will take a drive around the school yards and play grounds...  

And so a small piece of Wagner, opera too boot!!  

Being a VERY Serious day here, dictates some rather serious music as well.... Wagner! Yes Wagner for serious times....

And if you don't have what you need the speakers will tell you, if they are not complaining you are probably* fine.   As mentioned above solid state running out of steam is (usually) easier to hear. Low power class A solid state is probably more like tubes in this regard.   *depends on the listener and his listening skills

I had that amp and, I think, a KT-5300 tuner in college.  It was a nice piece of kit.

Price drop to $275

May I ask if you lots of your favorite music might be from earlier decades, where it may have been recorded cleanly (low noise and low distortion) but was deliberately hit with a lot of compression when mastered, to be playable on cheap vinyl players and even SOTA turntable systems of the time? Examples like 60s pop, soundtracks and even classical recordings? If yes, are you saying that the B & C DMC50 driver, with its paper diaphragm,  makes listening to such overcompressed recordings way more enjoyable than would other compression horn drivers you may have used, with beryllium, titanium or aluminum diaphragms?
