I have used the Dayton Aura bass shakers and for couches and chairs it worked best mounting them to a board and the board to the frame. A Butt Kicker or Crowson are much more powerful and you will not need as many.

Thanks, Maynard. I did not think it would be as easy as just seeing the tubes test strong. They need to be current matched also.
Using a Curve tester look like the way to go. I don't think the guys at our local guitar shops use a Curve tester.

What do you think about Aavik U-280 (300w - 8ohm) to drive the Cornwall IV?
That what the boot said the ant. The Cornwall's will never need that much power.

I tried to order a similar quad set a month ago. I never heard back from the seller or received confirmation of purchase or mailing info. Today I received a quad set of RCA 6550 in great condition. I will have the other two tested and keep for spares since these are hard to find at a reasonable cost. They are in my Willsenton R8 along with RCA 6SL7 gt and Sylvania 6SN7 tubes.

I received a quad set of RCA 6550 for my Willsenton R8. Sadly, two of the tubes did not survive the journey. What to do with the 2 good tubes since I need a matching quad set. The tubes are Philips or Slyvania since RCA did not make any 6550.

I would experiment with the subwoofers in different parts of the room. I would still set all speakers to small and use the avr's bass management. Tell us about the room or post a pic.

The question is do you even need more power.

5.1.4 vs 7.1.2 makes no real difference. Room size, shape, MLP ect. should dictate a system configuration. Surround and satellite speaker need spatial room to deliver their best effects. It Makes no sense to have to many speakers in a small space.

I use a Marantz NR 1200 and a Willsenton R8 together. Works great.

Do you have the RF 7 II's or I? The RC 64 can work with any of the 7's with some EQ which is almost universal with many avr's. You could do a phantom center and not loose much without a center speaker and wait til you move to completer the HT.

The enemy of good is sometimes, well? It is best to keep bass management as simple as possible. Woofers are not subwoofers and poodles are not German Shepherds. I quickly learned that a sub or two can beat most Towers, if done right. To get total coverage of the sound spectrum, $$$$$ for most tower speakers.
It is not the best design for most systems and subs can be a bit cheaper the DYI route.
Using a sub helps keep the speaker drivers under control. PKW said something about speaker drivers being over pushed?

If it is under warranty, make sure to follows Klipsch's instructions. Call if needed. Is there a local Klipsch authorized dealer near?

Need lots more info. How large is the room, speaker setup in room, ?bi-amping(passive vs active). I drove my RF 7 and & II's with a 25 watts tube and and 50 watt SS. I also used 200 watt power amps. The midrange should not be that weak.

New receiver is coming into the pic?

Fascinating, PWK needs a movie of his life story.

Even if possible to hook-up the sub to the soundbar, it does not sound like it will be fruitful.
-
The subwoofer is more capable of reproducing the lower frequencies and allows for a little more headroom in the a AVR.

Redo the entire setup! The power things unless it is truly and outside power problem, most folks don't need power conditioners except to have a fancy power strip. Looks good but, no Improvement in the real world. To get better sound, new amps, speakers and room Tx's. Anything less is playing in the sand at the park.

The OldChen amps sound nice but, the fixed bias is a problem and necessitates opening the amp with power tube changes to readjust the bias due to possible amp damage.

You have your work cut out. I look forward to the restoration.

Waiting years for an amp, this is really funny since there are so many other options.

what amp for cornwall IV
in 2-Channel Home Audio

A tube amp is a nice choice since the the sound can be tweaked a bit with tube rolling. A nice tube amp adds to the listening environment.
