In Reply to: Experienced the classic "tubey" sound recently - and LOVED it! posted by LowRedMoon on May 3, 2007 at 10:48:52:
Part of the glory might have been the single full-range driver. It probably has an alnico magnet and a very light paper cone. Of course it doesn't really cover the 'full range,' but some of those old speakers in open back cabinets present a deliciously satisfying sound that you just don't find anywhere else. They mate so well with simple little SE amps.It's tempting (and easy) to suppose that it's just a lot of 2nd order harmonic distortion giving a rich sweet flavor, but I don't buy it. 2nd HD is easy to produce. Adding it to a 'clean' system does not bring back the magic.
