acresverde253 posts10-11-2021 9:33pm@mozartfan BTW, I watched your YT video where you were using RG's bread board SET amp to drive the David Louis WBs. Be advised that the powertube used is the 50 tube and not the 250 tube (is there even such a thing???) and the amp uses two (2) of them. You might consider making that correction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes correct at his shop on tuesday,,, he did say **The 50 tube**, and forgot to have him clarify that, = Not 250 tube.
Thanks
SETs are not wimpy,, RG employs a colbalt in the out trans. Small but super powerful and not cheap.
That SET has equal the big Defy's power + bass slam.
I do not understand much dif in output froma SET vs a PP. AS far as employing a higher sens speaker is concerned.
I note there are other WBers with a 94++ db sens. No way I'd be interested in anything about my 92 dbsens.
Actually 90/91db is ideal.
The DLVX8 is 92db the DLW4 states 91db.
I can note a difference in the 1 db sens
The DLW4 highs are definetly rolled off, say 10khz, (??) , but has quick tight bass kick maybe 80hzish,,, you;d be surprised at the lil punch in bass.
. Mids are accurate/clean
The VX8 has at least 45hz bass, if not the 40hz as claimed on the specs.
Highs are there, whether its 12khz or 12khz+, I do not know, and am not at all interested where the roll off begins. You can hear the snares with sparkles.
