Re: dual Eico HF-86s/no bass

Hi,
One of the sonic signatures of most EL84 based amps is a mids forward ,light bass presentation.Hey Steven,think Brian Adams riffs.This is a low parts count amp,so check all resistor values,output tube condition.
If you don't have any hum,the electrolytics are probably OK.Upping the values in the PS can change the voicing of the amp,and should be considered only after optimizing the speaker match with this amp.You've probably got about 14 watts rms per side ,and a low efficiency monitor may not work in your room.What are you using speaker wise?
Best,
Pat
