Hi Mendel,
Yes I agree with you that your mods should bring definite improvement to the sound, however what struck me is not the difference in tubey/lush sonic signature but difference in amount of details and 3d of soundstage between all those amps. Handling of midbass/bass was another issue. Chinese offerings(Cayin/Lyric) were most guilty of fake tubey sound with no resolution at all. Ayon despite offerring most potent combination of KT150x8 was most sterile sounding, while subduing bass notes -- it also shrinked the rest of the bandwith and soundstage proportionally .All amps/tubes combination however failed on tube/ bass handling ..playing overcooked recordings like Stockfish label Cris Jones/ Moonstruck or Sara.K/Water falls or even Mark Knopfler 2002/The ragpickers dream/track#4 A place were we used to live(torture for tube bass) resulted in pure distortion. Wilson Sophia could not be bi-amped but fortunately Kef Blade2 yes. So I tried to run some hypex and bryston amps for bass only duty... It was not bad at all.. I was not satisfied with the blend but think that more carefull implementation via active crossovers and Dsp could finally resolve the issue. I will return from vacation in a couple of weeks and will try that approach or via computer with 8 channels/XO/PQ or via. MiniDSp stuff.
Cheers!
