| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR @mulveling As an owner of the Sterlings I appreciate your information regarding the internal wiring.

| Tube Amp settings: Triode vs UL; 8 ohm vs. 4 ohm ? I also have those options on my tube amplifier. In addition to output tube types, and variable feedback/damping. I view it as a wonderful opportunity to explore my personal preferences. Other than the fact that the output tap used will likely be ... |
