Tvad, I should have posted about driver in house design vs mass market poly cones, on the topic Harbeth vs Tyler. i goofed up, and mixed comments. Back to topic of tube amps transformers and the resistance from the motor and crossovers in speaker designs. A low volt tube amp, or lets say one that has trouble maintaining proper volt current when demand gets high, will not bring out the FULL potential of certain demanding speakers. Go to Jadis' web page, look inside the DA88. Designed to meet any demand from any speaker. Quality doesn't come cheap. Although certain chinese labs are comming along quite nicely. We can talk theoy here all we want. We are more interested in which labs are actually producing a tube amp to meet demanding power hungry speakers. I'll leave the tech stuff to their engineers. I am only interested in the end result. Does the setup produce a high fidelity musical image? Thats all, nothing more.
