Hello, i see you have a VAC 35/35 el34 tube amp. I once owned 1 pair of these amps. I sure wish i kept them,i think i paid only 1200.00 for one and 1400.00 for the other. I was bi amping some Merlin speakers. What a dummy, and if that don't get you i also owned 3 pairs of Apogee speakers in mint condition, 2 Major, one Minor, guess i'll never learn. Nice system buy the way. I just loved how easy it is to bias those VACS, now own a VTL ST 85, which is nice but no VAC. I also use NOS RCA/Slvania EL34 Fatboy tubes, and also have a quad of Mullard/Holland EL34 tubes too. I have 4 quads of the Fatboys. Thanks for any comments.
