Dear @lewm : """
you have never heard my Sound Lab speakers or any Sound Lab speakers that have been dramatically altered as have mine... """
Sorry but that is not the main subject through my posts here but only a part of. I think you are missing the whole and main subject.
Anyway, you already know ( because I posted over the forum more than 3-4 times. ) that the only ESL speakers I could live with could be the Soundlabs. As you know a close friend of mine owns the top of the line here in México city an he received as 3 months ago his originals speakers that he send it for an up-date and he made it some tweacks on it but I'm not sure exactly what he did it and is not this the main subject.
I explain all those for you be aware that I know very well Soundlabs as my friends's modified ones. No, not exactly the same you own but it's not so important as you think.
There are several critical issues that I touched in my posts in this thread and the more important relationed with your main system are:
- first that the analog and/or digital signal pass through several tubes when one tube destroy the audio signal integrity in higher way than a bipolar transitor several ones/tubes is something catastrofic for say the least.
- that main system have not an adequated system bass management and with out it any single system is totally incomplete. Home audio MUSIC belongs two both frequency extremes and very special on that accurate " bass management ".
OTL designs can't help becaus etubes are there. All your ESL modifications can't honor MUSIC till those tubes disappears from the audio signal and till you have that accurate/adequate system bass management.
There are other issues but is useless to continue speaking about till things changes in those both critical subjects that are indisputable/incontrovertible.
Regards and enjoy the music,
R.
