RE: Congratulations! I still love my Cronus Magnum...


I normally love EL34s but in my Cronus Magnum setup driving the Thiel CS2.4 speakers I found the EL34s to be lacking. Lacking in power it seemed. The sound was a little dynamically challenged.

The KT90 were better but I jumped on buying a quad of KT120s and that's pretty much what I've been using over the years. I should try some KT88's or 6550 but I'm wondering if these will produce at least as much power as the KT90's. If they're in the EL34 range, they won't be sufficient for my speakers.

I'd be curious to know which KT88, 6550, and KT66 you use. I haven't even tried NOS signal tubes since buying my Cronus Magnum a few years ago.
