"So, SBT/SBM loves either AN or JMR..."
Well AN K's anyway.
"and FtTH loves JMR?"
Any JMR I've heard so far, yes.
"AN leaves you stuck with SBT/SBM"
Or AN amps!
"JMR allows floating between SBT/SBM and FtTH?"
The SBT/SBM is really the beginning of the particular BC amp line that runs from them through the FtTH to the 200 series, the other line being the new 6SN7 based amps. It is a lighter, subtler sounding amp than the other Blue Circles in that line, which is why it can handle the AN K's. It also sounds better on the Cantabile Sigs than the FtTH does, something that has to do with the nature of the Cantabs that I don't yet understand. The SBT/SBM sounds extremely good on the Duets. The FtTH however, seems to get more out of them, at least in the way of bass authority and dynamics. But it's not something you miss from an SBT/SBM - Duets rig until you hear the speakers on the FtTH. You can't lose either way.
"The way you guys talk about the Duets they might as well be the only speaker in the line ; )"
I have joked about that alot lately. They are way better than they're supposed to be. At the moment, I would almost jump from the Duets to the Emeraudes. But then I haven't heard the Cantabiles in a while. I think they are a subtler sounding speaker than the Duets but the Duets sound more versatile.
