Thought you had one of the larger Apogees, that doesn't sound too bad for 300Bs. What's the sensitivity? This is going to make a difference on the large scale stuff with flea amps. Hell, it's all important...impedance swings, sensitivity, crossover.Sounds like the windings are shorted for the B+ and the tranny's defective. Check AC before the rectifier first. If it's way low or non-existen, no point in going further. Unless AES will replace it for free (doubtful, but you never know), get the specs and buy a Hammond from Steve at Angela. It will probably be cheaper and that's probably what's in it anyway.
