Thankful that I never have to read another ishwash rant again 👍

Not a 510 horn (EAW), but a nice paint job nonetheless.

You can't beat that kind of customer service.

No updated mid-horn, Just a new tweeter & tweeter horn (tractrix). I know, right?

Sure, but you could use a rubber friction tape around the top edge of the risers. Something that won't mark up the veneer.

Bob Crites has the correct slant risers: https://critesspeakers.com/heresy-slant-risers.html

A deburring tool might get rid of that flash. Do you have a pic?

I disagree with the generalization that tubes smear. I've owned a Wright-Audio 2A3, and still run a pair of Don Allen SEPs. I would describe these amps as tonally natural with very good transient response. I understand, though, that low power doesn't suit your needs. The only MOSFET amp I've owned was a CJ MF-80, and definitely not over-etched; smooth and natural, a very nice amp.

....but they should last for a reasonable amount of time. I'm still doing OK with my sound bar (fingers crossed), and my La Scalas are happy with my very reliable Don Allen tube amp.

Sorry about that, Jimbo; I missed it. You have to admit, it was a pretty terrible joke, so I should get a pass. And yes, a lot of the time I'm super-boring.

I think it's interesting and informative. You've added nothing to the discussion, so are in fact boring.

Commonsense Audio drivers (Audio Nirvana) have a good rep. A pair of the Classic 6.5s is $200:

Floor & ceiling bounce?

Those connections are under stress. Redo!

I have a Fat Boy w/latest updates, and it still plays all of my old PS2 games just fine.
