When your bank account recovers, consider this. Get a Hsu 500A subwoofer amp and a 43 Hz crossover (plug-in) to power the Ref 3s' second voice coils. You won't have any further concerns that these speakers are even the teensiest bit bass-shy, with 500 watts driving that last octave or so.

When "civilians" ask me how much power I have, I tell them 512 watts -- 12 wpc SET monoblocks (845B outputs, Mullard EL34 drivers, NOS 67NG inputs) ... plus the Hsu sub amp. BTW, I'm using a Conrad Johnson Premier 17LS2 linestage and a custom-built phonostage (at the heart of it is a l985 NYAL Moscode SuperIt) with Tele 12AX7s plus miscellaneous SS CD players and R-R decks as input sources.

Those Ref 3s are fantastic.

Loved your tube-rolling saga.
