RE: This is hypothetical...,

OTLs....ESLs....on paper..look just right..in real life not so much...Amp get Hot as Hell an EAT AC power..ESLs can be Big...there not for eveyone....love to see a 6SN7 criltron preamp setup i could DIy would look like on paper....hint,hint...look it your work so...

ESL are all about there bias...bias bias bias, the way this is setup has a big afect on the sound..One thing i have said over an over is Dr West lets you set you own bias an this is a goodthing... but what dose he have in the speakers.. high V..or Low V tranfourmer ...like 1000v on the secdary side... thin the diodes.. or 300v an how about the Amps of the tranfourmes... i have seen ESL bias Xfourmers that were 1VA....a better one like 1000-1500..Then the doides.. 5-7VA xfourmer sounds way better...An better caps in the bias setup...but most just think well it just bias...better bias can give more output.. an way better base...An sweeter highs i have found...An it a eze fix...goodluck
