My MC30s are my better sounding McIntosh amps and use the 5U4GB. Go figure.

2022 Hope Watermelon Festival
Ole Dollar replied to Ole Dollar's topic in Klipsch Museum: General Discussion
We moved the “listening room” to the side for the shade and are seeing more visitors. I will say the Heresy IV’s sound very good outdoors and have nice and well defined soundstage . We are using a Yamaha R-S202 Receiver and streaming in MQA.

2022 Hope Watermelon Festival
Ole Dollar replied to Ole Dollar's topic in Klipsch Museum: General Discussion
It’s Saturday at the Watermelon Festival and have visited with many of PWKs neighbors and are hearing stories of growing up in Hope with Klipsch. The weather is great so far and we are talking Klipsch to anyone that will listen. Stop by if you are in Hope!

KHMA is rocking at the Watermelon Festival in Hope. We have changed the booth setup to include a listening area and of course the sound is amazing. If you are in Hope stop by the booth for a visit.

EQing the KI-396 for flatter treble response
Ole Dollar replied to IndyHT80's topic in Klipsch Pro Audio
I'm using the 396s with 18" subs for a band I work with, they are a huge improvement over the previous speakers and many comment on the improvement. I have not had an issue with frequency response and with a mixing board , if I want more cymbal I just turn them up. I hope in the future we can get music we can mix our selves - 32 channels would be good. -
Powerful amp for the sensitive Heresys? Opinions welcome.
Ole Dollar replied to Weltfaul's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
I'm using a 40 watts per channel 6L6 based amp with Heresy 1s and a sub-woofer. Before the 6L6 amp I used a 3.5 watts per channel amp using two 6BQ5 tubes. The increase in power with the 6L6s was pretty noticeable at higher volumes which I almost never use. I agree with @Westcoastdrums I'm living in the first 5 watts. I would have moved back to the smaller amp but the larger amp has better sound quality everywhere it operates. -
All tubes are NOS Mullard - I asked the guy I buy tubes from for “the most tube sounding , non-solid state” combo I could get. He recommended the Mullards from the Blackburn plant. This combo really improve the Tubecube 7 well beyond what I expected. Unfortunately the Mullards cost close to what the amp does. Worth it, YES.

My sub is a KSW15 and has low level RCA ins and outs. The RCA outs are filterable at 50 or 80Hz. So nothing below 80Hz going to Tubecube 7 Tidal —> iPhone —> DAC —> Sub —>TC7 —> Heresy

I have a Tubecube 7 that has NOS Mullard EL84s and 12AX7. Playing through a pair of Heresy speakers and a subwoofer it sounds pretty amazing. Has a great 3D sound stage and good cymbal coverage. The sub picks up the lower frequencies as the Tubecube is 3.5 watts per channel. Using a iFi DAC and iPhone for tunes. Have taken this setup on vacation with RB51ii bookshelf speakers, fits in a medium size bin. Really is a nice sounding amp and not a fan of the SINO tubes that come with it, amp really came alive when NOS Mullards installed.

Happy Birthday!

@rplace thank you for the picture of your setup and really enjoying the thoughts and conversation on this thread today. Must admit you have me interested in open baffle now. 🙂
