| B&W Speakers I've had a pair of 603's as my first pair of speakers and then the 703's. Either one sounded too bright to me, though I don't doubt that they are good speakers. Guess the 800 series might be better but if you do a search on here you'll find that I... | |
| Need a custom amp face plate Maybe see if you can find someone in your area who works as a CAD designer and a guy who works a CNC mill who could do it for you. The material as such shouldn't be that much. I'd post on Craigslist in your area and see what you can find. I always... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? Thanks Brianhutch, always glad to hear from guys who run the same speakers. As I did buy these speakers with this particular amp in mind I think I'll be ok for the future. Also can't see myself wanting to change the system that much anytime soon.I... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? :) I just got home from a somewhat unsuccessfull fishing trip to Charlevoix and you guys have kept going on this thread and I found it's even in those three threads right on top. How did it get there? Really didn't plan on that.Still don't have th... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? As the original poster of this thread I actually like the fact that this thread has taken on it's own life. Think that's just what happens over time as once the downsides I've asked for have been stated thread drift sets in.That some folks seem to... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? I'm not really worried about the heat or power consumption anyway. The Electrocompaniets got warm but not too warm and I don't think the 300B's will be worse.Maybe I give of some heat due to audio excitement but that's probably gonna be it.Still s... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? I have a question for Spatialking now. What is the reason for the issue with you not being able to run the tube amp for 24h like you'd do with a SS amp? is it simply to get the most out of the lifetime of your tubes or some other reason.As I don't... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? Rleff, thanks for the suggestion :) I might have to think about a drip can so I don't get burnt fat spots on the tubes. | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? I'd rather have a hot tube amp than a tiger. The thing with the tiger didn't go so well for Siegfried and Roy.Well, think the thread has come to an end and I appreciate all the replies. Glad I didn't change my decision on the amp as an extra heate... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? What is drawing me to this tube is very much some reviews of the amplifier in question and the sound supposedly being this "the singer's in the room with you". I have to admit that the little brother of that amp, the Due Venti, did a marvelous job... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? And late at night I'm back to check on this thread :) Mrtennis, you have a point there. As tube amps allow us to roll the tubes and try different things it is hard to optimize the system as there is quite a choice of tubes out there.The other side... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? Well, the more often I come back here the more I known that I'l stick with my original decision to get the 300B amp.Tinkering with things I do like and biasing the tubes and keeping a log (thanks Rleff, I like that idea) is a good idea to keep tra... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? Every time I come back there's more. Looks like I started a small avalanche here :)I shall take a look at the amps mentioned in the thread though so far I haven't chamged my mind. The only thing I don't like so much is the price of tubes. But at l... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? Wow, I've never received more replies to a post than this one. Guess what Semi said is what convinced me most :)Seems that the availability of tubes will be the biggest issue to be considered, followed by the heat. As I don't listen for long stret... | |
| Mastersound 300B and bass Haha, the cage. As we don't have kids I'll be able to leave off the cage and enjoy the wonderful view of the glowy things that make it sound so great.Now I have to start a different thread on how to convince my girlfriend to let me set it up in be... |
