Just as it says... I have bought my first tube amplifier and need a good quality set of speakers. Here is a thread I started that describes what I have been looking at and my budget...

At this point, I will be saving a little more cash over the next few weeks so that I can afford 5-700 for my speakers.
My inspiration for all this is a friend who invited me over to his house about a month ago... I sat down and he played some music from a tube system he has put together over the years... I can still remember hearing true hi-fi and how the hair on the back of my neck stood up. All the instruments were real and it seemed as if there was a orchestra in his living room, not 2 small speakers. I have no idea what exactly he has but I know his speakers are bookshelf size and are made by Linn? He says the sound of his system is known as a british sound... if that helps?
I myself listen to a lot of classic rock (pink floyd, the who, and the beatles) all the way up to early 90s grundge/alternative rock/and lately easier stuff like Jack Johnson. I love acoustics!!!
As of right now, the Nohr 5.1s seem very nice and im leaning towards those at the moment.
