Technician seems to be zeroing in on the issue. Amp not putting out anywhere near its rated power. May be a tube issue. Very interesting. Brian in contact with the technician. New tubes coming. More later. Again, can't wait to hear the amp at full...

Dan,Besides, if you can build a high powered amp that captures some of the SET magic for under $300, I think we'd all be interested.

Dan,No apologies needed. Topic drift makes the world go 'round. :-)

Dan,I'd never heard of those Class D kits. Holy cow, they're cheap! You could build one on a lark just to compare it, and, as you said, have a backup. And with that kind of wattage they'll drive anything. Never loved my Bel Canto Class D amp all t...

Sorry, posted that previous comment prematurely. I also meant to say that even if my current speakers sound even more marvelous with my healthy, fixed up amp, I may still give one of Eric's speakers a whirl if I can be certain I can take the finan...

Charles and Mikirob,Yes, I am still totally open to and interested in Tekton. A speaker that efficient that might give me something like another 7 or 8 Hz on the bottom end is very appealing. And as I said, sebrof's speakers (although I know they ...

Charles,As for the lack of drama in the thread, yes, I appreciate that as well. "Real life" provides enough of that already! Here we ought to enjoy ourselves, learn new things from each other and help each other out. (Come to think of it, we shoul...

Map,Brian was going to ship me some replacement tubes in case it was a tube issue but UPS returned it to him for some reason. It'll be interesting to see if the tech finds a bad tube.

Hey, Folks,Well, I checked a few of the possible culprits that Brian suggested (for example, did I have the correct model output transformers?) and things looked okay. So I decided, with Brian's encouragement, to bring the amp to a local tech for ...

Hello, Friends and Neighbors,First of all, Sebrof, thanks a lot for the ringing character endorsement! You, too, are a great guy. And it was fun to play a little hooky from work.So, yes, Sebrof and I got together earlier today. I played the troubl...

Charles,The one I think you're referring to is the S-Lore, which uses more conventional "hi-fi" drivers (from Seas, I think, hence the "S") rather than that Eminence pro-audio wide-ranger and the Audax super tweeter. My gut would be to go for maxi...
