CharlesI looked into the bottom of my TVIII speakers tonight. My tweeter has one 15 oHm resistor/10 watt and what looks like a 3uf cap. The resistor is a cheap sandcast and the cap is a Solen. Boy there is room for improvement when I get to it! Al... 
The future of preamps
Tube preamps, a great tube preamp will always be a part of great sounding high end systems. They will not go away. No, they are indispensable to many with an ear for natural tone. They day they do is the day the music dies :-)
