Tung Sol KT 170
My little Dennis Had Firebottle amp can use pretty most any power tube (except 300bs and a few others), although I'd possibly send him an email before trying 170s. He did tell me once (email) that 150s worked great in my amp, and they did. 
Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience.
One of my favorite things about the Heresy design is its unobtrusive nature relative to output, and I trust Roy Delgado on the floor placement because, hey, he designed them around that sort of placement. My new IVs are cherry so they're somewhat ... 
Fyne Audio - Anyone heard lf it?
BASS...it's spelled BASS.

mijostyn...I’ve also owned a pair of great sounding Heresy IIIs for a few years so I know something about how these things work (I’m also a successful and vastly experienced professional live sound mixer and musician), and actually did try them on...

2 dissimilar REL subs (Q108MK2, Q150e) both around 45 to 50 hz, which matches well with the Heresy IVs. 
Adding a sub woofer?
I'm an "astute listener" and years ago added a REL Q150e which transformed my system...the adjustments on that REL are comprehensive for phase, level matching, and "crossover" matching, all easily done for excellent sound. Digital woofer control c... 
Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience.
I prefer Heresy speakers on the floor as designed, with Vibrapods and a matching fuzzy bottomed pad thing under the pods so I can move 'em easily. Imaging is astonishing with these things, and according to what I've read it's gonna take up to 500 ...

The mid horn in the IV is such a different design from the III...the IV is a far shorter driver throat attached directly to the Tractrix horn flare (with a little dust cap in there), where the III seem like a complicated long chamber throat with a... 
Am I out of my mind? #obsessed
Guitar makers and repair guys often use Novus as I do. The 3 versions go from serious scratch therapy to a great sort of anti swirl mark polish. 
Adding a sub woofer?
Regardless of Millercarbon's snarky condescension (per usual), RELs are NOT inherently "lumpy" unless set up badly, and a single one can work. Not everybody has room for a Swarm of four subs and many can get along with one well placed REL or anoth... 
Am I out of my mind? #obsessed
Hit 'em with sandpaper and simply forget about the obsessive-compulsive polishing...steel wool...something...anything... 
Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience.
The IVs arrived and clearly need some break-in time...however, they're beautiful and have some interesting differences as well they should since it's an entire re-design of the III. I used a Stereophile test disc to see how low they could go and t... 
Tony Lewis has passed away...(lead singer/bassist of the group The Outfield)
Great singer...was recently watching a movie set in the early 90s called "Hot Summer Nights" (Timothée Chalamet stars) and that song was used well in the soundtrack. 
Advice on best mid priced MM cartridge choice for Rega P3 (2016)
Sumiko Pearl...inexpensive and sounds amazingly good, well rounded and really gets a lot out of the groove, so to speak. 
As much as I try, I just don't get it........
Is a sailing video like sailing? Nope. By the way Mr.D, I'm getting a pair of Heresy IVs soon and as I compare 'em to my IIIs they won't have  damped mid horns! DAMN...and I don't have any more of the damping stuff you pressured me into...damn aga...
