Atma-sphere amps best power tubes
Cooking 28x 6as7g, rcas, ges and Raytheons, will report back when done, it is a lot of trouble, never seen Svetlana arcing and Americans are like bees arcing all the time, on preliminar testing the sound was similar to Svetlana, could not tell muc... 
atmasphere 6as7g output tubes.
Old thread but if I may resurrect this. Conditioning some RCA 6AS7G1st Ralph (as always) he is right there is a lot of trouble to go with the American power output tubes on his amps, the Russian power tubes just work I have never seen a Svetlana a... 
Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities
Thank you, I have kind of the same experience, not using the WE+ but the CV-181-TII (Shuguang BT) very decent tube, comparable to the Psvane, the Psvane is prone to failure IME, and very similar to the BT. Like you RCA and Raytheon NOS 40's and 50... 
Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities
@brownsfan Another vote for Atman-Sphere I completely agree, and I will also add that most speakers with  drivers presenting a 8/10 ohms load (or more) "nominal" will provide good bass qualities for most tube amps, that's the "happy match" you m...

@millercarbon Very well saidEmphasis on this his one fault is being blessed with an overabundance of modesty  
Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?
And these are not my ideas or research, you can ask Duke LeJeune with Audiokinesis from which I learned everything I know about subs and which swarm array (trolls like the word or not) is the best bass solution I found after trying the conventiona... 
Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?

Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?
This is theoretically of course in the real world it won't happen unless the room have nothing in it, it is a geometric cube (or sphere) reflective materials all the same etc  
Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?
If you time align the back sub to fire when the front wave hits him and you also phase it 180 degrees, theoretically both waves cancel each other and you don't hear the reflections again

Laughing so much that I have tears coming out of my eyes, this will send me back to sleepThank you for the post OP if you are still around after 7 years  
Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts
@bdp24 your statement makes sense, I don't completely understand the acoustics behind it, I understand physics and kind of grasp the concept but not entirely. Now the empirical evidence and testing of before and after proves me this solution is pe... 
Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts
I concur, I lived the one sub then two subs scenario and yes I had deep bass from two big subs but did not sound like natural bass. Shopping for speakers I met Duke and got his speakers, I have to say the sub array was an extra on the purchase as ...
