Robert,

You are going to love using back-loaded horns with fullrange drivers. I had a man join my online SET group just before he was getting ready to make a complete change in his audio system. Like you Karl has really bad tinitus and just couldn't listen to loud music any longer. One of the most wonderful characteristics about using fullrange drivers in a back-loaded horns is the music retains it's full harmonic, timbrel and tonal balance and it's dynamic swings when played at low volumes just as well as it did at the louder volume levels!

It's the lack of this ability when using other less sensitive speakers that causes people to constantly feel the need to turn the volume up when listening at low volumes where most other speakers make the music sound dull & lifeless! To be honest with you Robert I sincerely believe even using your Yaqin MC-10L amp will allow you to hear much of what you'd expect to hear when using an SET amp with fullrange drivers in a back-loaded horn. Perhaps you'd like to check out this guy in Australia named Joe Rasmussen who modifies the Yaqin MC10L you own? He's using what he calls "Virtual Triode Operation" that you can read about here:

Joe Rasmussen claims that the MC10L will compete with amps costing many thousands of dollars more when he's done modding it! However, just because it's always nice to read what someone else thinks about a person's work as opposed to what the person themself thinks. Here's a review written of a Joe Rasmussen modified Yaqin MC10L amp:

As always Robert feel free to ask any question you might have and I'll help you where I can...
