First impressions

Finally got some help to get the monsters to the basement, and set them up.

These are some very unique speakers!

First off the filament supply in my 2A3 amplifier is very inadequately filtered.

Second, they ROCK on two watts...

I noticed a wall clock apparently vibrates against the wall with some frequencies. Was never an issue with the tannoys!

Hooked up my old EICO signal generator. One speaker has some buzz in the cabinet which goes away when you put weight on top. I tightened all the screws around the horns, pulled off the bottom and tightened the woofer, then tightened the bottom. still there but not as strong - I think it's related somehow to the gasket being old.

Low end pretty solid to about 60Hz, much lower than that it dies.

The mid/tweeter combo to me sounds fantastic, I am absolutely sold on compression drivers!
