Thanks for the kind words. I've always been impressed with the amps that you and Paul built.
Maybe not the best venue for this, but here goes. I'm listening to these amps through some 10 cuft Mass Loaded Transmission Line corner cabinets that I designed and built. They have Altec 604-8k drivers. Kind of a combination of Billfort's 604 corner cabinet and the 6 moons 604 dream speakers. I get the MLTL benefits with the bonus of a wide front panel for reduced baffle step compensation requirements, a stiffer box, fewer standing waves in the boxes, and better coupling to the room.

Sweet! They recall a pair of transmission line AlNiCo 604's that Larry Albright built in the 60's that were around 8 feet tall and went very deep with plenty of tactile bass. He had them in his home in Venice CA around the corner from my PotShop. I have a great fondness for T-lines, and my last system used them for subs and sats, using the concentric sonotube loading for the sats and the Pickard design for the subs. Linaeum film tweeters handled the highs. System sensitivity was around 94 Db, and they went down into the twenties. However, not sensitive enough for my 2A3 amps that Paul built. I am re-configuring the subs using the concentric sonotube loading, and will bi-amp. Not sure what will go on top yet.
Cheers, Hank
Thanks for showing your dream speaker, Hank in Eugene
