I never liked the old Klipsches until I strapped a pair of Cornwalls
to my 2wpc Yamamoto Sound Craft amp. Too much power and Cornwalls, La
Scalas and K-Horns are aggressive, forward and screechy. Mate them to
a nice 2A3 or 45 amp and they're quite a treat.
�You've been listening to those godawful EV T-35 tweeters. Put in a
decent tweeter and you don't need to crap up the signal with a single
ended amp.
�It's worth noting that in the tube days PWK endorsed one amp, the
Brook, which was a triode design but was push-pull. �He actually had a
mod which was a damping factor mod for the model that he preferred
which Brook offered.
�IMO this type of amplifier is best for highly efficient horn
speakers, I consider single ended amplifiers good only for treble
drivers in multi-amp, active crossover systems. No one makes such a
push pull, choke driver triode amp commercially. The twiode ****s
aren't interested either.
Twiode ****s? Really?
Those people are having fun with audio. God bless 'em.
This whole idea that people who can't solder can't be audiophiles, or
that people who enjoy triodes are "****s" is really getting old. This
is supposed to be a fun hobby, and people like you who claim
audiophiles are killing audio are really missing the point. DIY is
only one aspect of audio...the other is the enjoyment of music.
I don't think I ever loved another amp as much as that Yamamoto, and
I've owned a lot of amps. It sounded wonderful with HE speakers; I've
never heard the human voice sound as real.
