@duramax747   contact Tom PM ,  he's been of great assistance to me .

duramax,  I am now going to wait for the PUR series for the 4 x 1uf caps needed for the tweeter/mid boards , they solve the size dilemma the I was agonizing over ,

as well as being an upgrade to the upgrade I was planning .

Still searching for an upgrade to the 15uf caps = in size to the ERSE pulse X caps 

Dear Tom, first of all I must tell you that I am honored to be able to talk directly with you on my beloved speakers.  Also wanted to thank you for the truly kind and thorough preliminary answer you gave me. 

I will definitely proceed to ask you questions on specific aspects via pm.

Thanks again

Rob - I can recommend the SonicCap from Sonic Craft that still has the old aspect ratio. Anything Sonic Craft carries has been carefully considered and chosen.

I've had an interesting time tube rolling with my Conrad Johnson Premier 12 tube monoblocks.

Same ones I drove the Thiel 3.7 and now my 2.7s.

When I had both the 3.7 and 2.7 in the house I was trying to decide which one to keep.  One of the distinguishing factors is the 3.7s sounded like they were: a bigger speaker.  Even though by specs only slightly extended further than the 2.7, there was a sense with the 3.7s of the proportion of the sound being a big different.  Bass went a bit deeper, the scale was a bit larger on everything.  The 2.7s seemed like putting a bit of a girdle on - like the bass frequencies were lifted slightly upwards, putting more emphasis on the punchiness of the mid-bass.

I finally tried replacing the 6550 power tube on my amps with the larger more powerful KT120 tubes.  What a difference!   Bass feels deeper, the scale of everything - soundstage, image sizes - expanded.  Now the 2.7s truly remind me of the 3.7s in that sense.   Pretty amazing.

out of curiosity what 5751 tube are you using ?
