[Exploring the world of tube amps.. a little advice needed!]

Evil,

I am in Appleton. I have a complete tube system (see profile) You are more than happy to stop in a check out tubes! We also have a great retailer here (Sound World), they have several CJ pieces on the used shelf currently, along with a AR LS2 ($400). If I can help in any way please let me know,

Fellow Cheesefile,

[What power amp runs your horns? Monarchy Amps!]

I am using the Canary Audio CA-301. Currently with 4 WE 300B's (but changes evry now and again to try new valves). It is a 22 watt per side unit (7~8 watts is normally max that I use). But have had good results with cary cad-572-se mono blocks.

Thanks for the responce. Sounds like a great combo. I think that valves and horns are a match made in heaven! I do prefer the set amps though. The push pull 300B's in the Canary amps are full of power. But I still liked the Cary 572-II sigs better, but we all let things and regret it after (lol).

I will post some photos of the system in next day or so. I have ask for a quote for the ALk crossovers. I will put the AA's away, and see what the change is like.

What does the rope clak mod do? I assume it seals the bass horn?

Valves and grooves were way ahead of thier time!! Gotta love them.

Thanks for the post. They are in pristine condition. Not a scracth or abuse (dad was a perfectionist). The AA cross overs look great. I am pleased with them, was just wondering if any of the tweaking and mods posted here would make any improvements.

Regards,

Roy

Hello all,

As a lurker for some time I decided that it was time to jump in and post. I have 2 khorns (father orig purchased) and after years of searching and changing speakers, found what good old dad knew years ago, "khorns are the best".

I am not sure exctly what year they were purchased (dad has passed, and mom has no idea).They are ss#'s 3J670 & 3J671. Oiled walnut with all orig components. Anyone know the year?

I am wonering if there is a advantage to changing the AA crossovers? If so to what?

I look forward to any help or input. Listed below are the system details. I run all tube amplication.

Regards,

Roy Ramsey
