  I am not sure how good it will perform in Canada, as for now we have -20 degree Celsius and the dramatic temperature may  creak the glass~~~~
 
P.S.
It does look like a good heater for my room though~~~

-20C would be 15 degrees warmer than here!

On New Year's Eve I was downtown to celebrate outside for 3 hours straight... at -30 deg C! When I got back, nothing better than a listening session with your hands over a Class A Tube amp!

nice~~~ I though our amp and headphone is only rated for 0-100 degree?
And at my place, we use degree Celsius, I guess it is summer at my place~~~

The only 'wow' effect I got from my HD800 was from its soundstage, its scary good. 

Other than the soundstage and its comfort scale, I found the HD800 to be a tad boring.

FINALLY!! someone who agrees! I personally loved the LCD2.2 more for that reason.

, I also couldn't and refuse to deal with the LCDs 'wall of sound'.

It's been said too many times, "it's all just preference really".

  Couple days ago received my new-used pair of Magnepan MMG's.  Even out of my humble Sony ES Receiver they sound fantastic.  95% of my listening of them so far has been without subwoofer, they seem to generate plenty of bass for my taste.
 

Looking good!  Sadly my MMGs are in storage at the moment but they are are amazing speakers especially with small combo jazz.  How are those Blumenstein speakers?

Finally got my setup properly organized!  I think it actually is sounding better now too! LOL!

Thanks morserotonin.  I love the Blumensteins!  They produce a very rich/coherent sound and image very well.  I also love that I can power them with my little 3W SET amp.  IMO they don't handle transients as well as the MMG's but they deliver a very musical/involving experience.
 
Sidenote, we met at the LA Headfi meet and you campaigned hard for me to get Magnepans.  So in a way, you are partially to blame thank for my MMG purchase.

Ah! I remember now! 

 
Glad you where able to get them!  Also hope you are coming out to the meet in a few months!

You really need some Schiit amps there. They work as heater too!

Lol, Schiit amps are cold compared to some class A amps.
 
There are amps that will burn your house down.

I always considered my Cary SLI-80 as hot Schiit.....

 
Ten tubes will crank out some heat!
