watts ?
schubert
Thanks Swamp, I have access to some Omega 3xr with the hemp drivers ,I 'll try those before I buy any other speakers .
YW, Schubert. Two watts normally would make no discernible difference but that's a 33% increase, so maybe so. IIRC, Atmasphere has pointed out that very important to get adequate power w an SET amp because because their distortion rises very rapidly as power output goes up. I have no independent knowledge of these kind of technical issues, so if I'm not remembering correctly, my apologies.
Len,

A few thoughts based on some of the recent posts. First, with respect to the Ref 3A deCapos, I found them to be a bit slow in the low frequencies when driven by the dynamo. I think they need more that 8WPC. Second, it might be worth waiting to see what gives with the Dynamo MK II that Mikirob mentioned. If it is a substantial improvement, it might be worth the wait, if only for the used MK 1's To hit the market. I'm using the Psvane Philips reissues, which are pretty good tubes but with some reliability issues. I bought a quad, and got two usable tubes (which is all I needed) plus a refund on the two duds. I'd try to snatch a pair of nos mullards before they are all gone.
The extra 2 watts may or may not make a difference, depending on which speaker you choose.
Thanks , Fan . As I remember when brand new Mullard EL 34 were 20 bucks a quad it would would be impossible for me to spend 600 bucks for a pair for if my net worth was 20 million .
As I recall when I bought the new quad of Mullard EL84 I have 20 years ago they were 30 bucks .
