Seville 847A vs. Klipsch Heresy
I know that neither are JBL, sorry....:(
I have a nice set of Sevilles, but there's a local ad for a pair of black Heresy's for $290. Tempted...
I saw that a pair of Seville's went for $800 recently - I was really suprised by that. Are my speakers really that good?
Tube amps would make a world of a difference.
Both of these speaker systems are very sensative and don't always respond well to SS amps. With tubes, the soft sound quality that you are striving to get will be more obtainable.

Norh is a great economical amp...
I found some old stock Mullard EL34's and some nice sounding Sylvania green label 12AX7A's and left the 5AR4 Sovtek stock rectifier in there.
I am running the Norh SE-9 at present time in place of my Yamamoto 45 SET amp and Dehavilland Verve preamp to run my JBL 2426 and 399 on 311-60 horns.
It is a very neutral amp not to be confused with much more expensive amps, but does not suffer from the "listener fatigue" of most cheaper tube amps.
I have no problems listening to the Norh in my main setup, next winter the big $$$ pre/amp comes back out though. This is a space saving measure for the time being.
I think the Norh is a great investment. Is it still only $400.00 delivered????

I think shipping is included (?)
You are right, it is best to buy new and get warranty for new one. The price is still damn good for one of these.
Much better than any other tube amp in that price range (AFIK)!
