Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: weak link

K15 is an excellent fullrange speaker - he could tune ~1/2 octave lower like Exemplar did using two 3" pvc elbow vents mounted over the nominal 4.5"x9" original vent - the result will support to around 20Hz but won't be any louder than a reflex the rear chamber size with ~28Hz tuning. Another approach would be to make a large "Karlsonator" variant. XRK971 over at Diyaudio can make guesstimates with akabak as to sizing that type.

here's the vent mod for k15 - some boost can be applied at 30Hz - Altec 416 works well


here's the layout of an 8 inch Karlsonator
