  1. I received them today. Thanks Cornman, excellent packing

    .

    The UPS guy was ticked, b/c they came in  FedEx boxes, with a UPS labels !!l. He said they never utter the "F" word at UPS,...🤣

     

    I should receive the matching pre-amp from Dennis Had tomorrow, so I'll wait to set them up. 

     

    I love the sound of the EL34, I was thinking of a matched quad of G/L KT-77' ?. They will be driving the K-horns.   Opinions  on the tubes ?

  3. before I DECIDED TO GET THOSE AMPS, I REACHED OUT TO Dennis, as I was contemplating his 300b amp. he absolutely recommended those amps over the 300 b.

    I quote his answer to me:

    "

    Paul:
    In regards to the Inspire mono-blocs ... I gotta tell ya this is such an unusual situation .... I just built those mono's a couple of weeks ago. The fellow is doing a bi-amp system that is not working for him. The amplifiers are some of the best I have done in over 62 years of slingin solder!!!!!!! I had these monos in my home system for a few nights. I hated to shop them!!!! LOL
     
    The mono's are absolutely the choice. You may use any of the tubes as would with the stereo Fire-Bottle you have. I will tell ya ... get a quad set of the SovTec 5881 output tubes .... amazing sound. These are also the same as the Russian 6n3cE tubes you will see advertised on eBay. Killer sound ... also you wanna get crazy .... my favorite .... 6F6 or 6F6G's. You will have an absolute blast with the mono's ..... best of the Inspire Fire-Bottle for sure"

    The Inspire amps are pushing his Oris horns with Tang Band drivers...............

    So what was not right ?

    I am asking b/c I recently acquired an inspire tube amp from Dennis, and it works beautifully with any set of speakers I tried it with. Klipschorns, la scalla II's, cornwalls III's and H-3's. 

    With my amp, I rolled tubes and on all sounded good.

  5. I did not want a set of big black boxes in my room, so I ordered them in cherry,...They are absolutely gorgeous. they blend with the room, despite their massive size. Now the sound they produce, is nothing but captivating and beautifully strong, and complete. I don't use a sub with them, they don't need one IMHO.

    Have fun choosing the finish and no matter what you'd pick, YOU WILL enjoy the sound.

    I finished the setup of the new K-horns, and all connected, using as a first try my Prima Luna Dialogue HP I/A.

     

    I fired the system up, let it warm up for 30 min, in triode mode, and started playing Chris Stapleton, Whiskey and you....

     

    When I first heard the music, (my first ever with  Klipschorns, (aka klipschorns virgin), MY HEART SKIPPED FOR FEW SECONDS,... OMG.....I was speechless,... wow...wow, was all I could say.

     

    I was not prepared for that.

     

    I own LS II's, CW III's, Heresy's III, Forte II's & III's, and have owned Chorus II,..and still I could not get over the sound,...

     

    I sat down and listened to all genres of music for 2 straight hours, they went by fast, much needed r/r after a long weekend at work. Who cares about Superbowl !.

     

    For now I am keeping the P/L in the system. Next the MA5300 in a week or two.
