Sad but true....

The 'First Watt' may really be the 'First 100 Milliwatts'.

Even listening to my arguably 105dB (sorry, not 106dB) Edgarhorns, offending odd order distortion becomes evident with but a bit of cranking up on the volume knob, at least with 2 watt indirectly heated triodes.

Will soon be bi-amping each driver with its own 2 watts of SET magic. Should give me an additional 3dB of 'headroom'. :-)

And with active x-overs I can get rid of 3dB of the 6dB padding-down on the JBL 2441. Might help a bit as well.

Make that the 'First 10 Milliwatts' :-)
