I love the Quads, I used to sell the Martin Logans. For me the speed and accuracy of the electrostatics were their best selling point.
I wanted to get that in a dynamic driver that could have some serious xmax capability.
Do you have a favorite source for the purchase of a B&C and which model would you recommend for say 150-2750 hz.
My Bedini 150MKII is modified with Black Gate caps in the electrolytic positions. John Bedini modified this one with Sampson electrolytic power supply capacitors.
On the coupling cap I am using a Dynamicap bypassed with a Russian teflon FT-3 0.10uf 600v piece that really airs out the amp. It sounds amazing at about 110 watts per channel sliding A/B.
Yours has all positive feedback and pure class a operation. It has a very tubelike sound to it from my memory. Low output tube amps, especially an SET design can be very seductive. The lack of feedback or carefully chosen feedback can really allow the midrange to come through unscathed.
Thanks for you feedback. This is very helpful information. I hope others will chime in as well!
Cheers!
