I am a full-range speakers fan now. There's something magic in their
apparent simplicity, something Zen ! You understand why I have chosen
Fostex drivers.

You definitely are ripe for the tubes.
I can't think of something more Zen than a good tube amp.

Perhaps I will get for my money perhaps it will be bull****. I just hope
I will be able to recognize if it is bull****.

Talk to people who understand what your goals are and what drives you.
Don't underestimate how important this is!
This may involve way more than just talking about electronics,
speakers or acoustics. I warn you before :-)

I think your approach is the right one for you and a determined man
can't be stopped in reaching that goal. Keep this in mind.
