Which tubes? My amp can except El34, 6L6, KT88, an

Agree with Creeper on the 6L6s. He knows his tubes.

The 6L6 often gets over looked, because the EL34 & KT-88
get more press for their classic tube sound.

The 6L6 has better balance and a much cleaner more controled midbass, which will blend well with the solid state bass amps in your V5s.

If you amps can run them, KT-90s are also worth a listen.

I'd also love to hear Rec's Vandys.

Didn't know about V5's crossover pulling it's signal off the output of the main amp, I thought it was line level from the preamp.

I'm running KT-90 type 3 in my SF Power One SE, and they're just starting to settle down and sound as Creeper describes above.

Question for the Vandy guys: I saw a picture from a recent
audio show with a speaker Vandersteen was calling the Signature One, which was the top section of the V5s, but
there's no mention of it on their website. Is it a real
product?

Maxgain- agree with the benefits of taking the low bass out
of the main amp. My SF P1SE sound much better(cleaner/faster) without having to deal with the bass from 50 hz down.

I think the V5s are a true classic design that will hold their value(like the other Vandys). I hope Mr.Vandersteen
brings the Signature One/Reference Monitors to market, for those of us who have smaller rooms or want to roll their bass.

Mahalo for all the info.
