Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...

Bass is where less efficient speakers will struggle more off just a few watts in some way. Its never good to work an amp too hard when it comes to detail, bass or otherwise.

Mikirob you guys will learn alot about how an amp works and as I mentioned to Rebbie you'll learn that you can tweak a part or two in the amp to taylor the sound to your liking. I have no idea how Audio Note speakers sound with Alnico drivers. It is the highest level AN speaker kit.

Mapman, well said. One's amp should be relaxed and as comfortable as possible and the music will sound that way too. Makes me wonder about why there are so many different operating points that manufacturer's run their 300b amps at. Some really hot like 80-90 mA and some around 60mA or less. Arguments on both side make my head spin

A few examples of jazz bassists who were known for "walking" the bass. Leroy Vinegar,Percy Health,Curtis Counts and Paul Chambers.

Charles, I see you know Jazz and quality bassists. Did you know many bass players have difficulty with walking bass when they first take up the instrument?

Charles,
Yes, have them all on various records or cd. I was listening to LeRoy yesterday with Chet Baker, then later with Ben Webster. I like it that he also did the Doors and Van Morrison on some numbers.
