Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

Cheap Shot

We do our best to describe what we hear. Of course it's very easy to question someone's descriptive words. If you don't like "smooth" and "silky" then you must love Art Dudley's and Herb Reichert's word du jour "colorful".

I'll take the high-road and define smooth and silky for you:

Smooth - This should be self-evident but to me it means the opposite of rough or uneven. Another example would be "well balanced".

Silky - The opposite of harsh or raspy. Silky seems especially appropriate because of the phenolic coated cloth diaphragm my tweeters use.

After additional listening to the new WE 300Bs I would add "honest" and "truthful" as opposed to "flashy".
