gigantic

the woofer is pending. Squawker horn is not available. Tweeter, mid driver and network is available. The cabinet is also available for local pickup.

the k604 horn and K66 driver are no longer available.

it measures 4 ohms.

The battery on my meter was dead, so I wasn't able to verify. Will bring a battery today.

I'll bring my meter to my workshop tomorrow to verify, but as far as I know, @jjptkdis an expert on these.

that's possible, although I expect shipping would be an issue... 😉

updated. I took my info from the Klipsch website, which seems to be incorrect for this speaker. Thanks for the correction!

I've done some more tube rolling on the Glow Amp Two, adding a matched quad of Ruby Tubes/JJ EL84CZ power tubes. Imaging is crisp and the sound stage is vast. I’ve been burning it in in my recording studio, using a pair or KRK Rockit unpowered near field monitors and I’ve never heard those speakers sound better. They’re a far cry from my Super H speakers in my main listening space, but the sound from a pair of monitors on my recording desk, 3 feet apart and as far away, is remarkable. I’m very pleased with this purchase and I can’t believe how inexpensive it was. This amp is a cut above the Shenjen Ali Baba/China HiFi amps at the same price point. with tubes, shipping and taxes, I'm still under $625, all in. Next will be to try a better grade of driver valve; I've read that the JJ Gold Pin 12AX7 is excellent, but I'm open to other suggestions.

I'm parting out a KP-362 speaker. for sale are the following components, tested and verified; all are in excellent condition, unless otherwise noted: K-48-EP woofer, $250 shipped in the Continental US.

I think that ultimately, I've settled on a Willsenton R300 300b amp, but in the mean time, I couldn't resist this little number, a Glow Audio Amp Two, a 15-watt, PTP, hand wired, push pull 12AX7 driven, EL84 powered integrated amp designed by deHavilland Audio's Kara Chaffee, but made in China. Given the mixed reviews on chi-fi products, I was optimistically skeptical, but the price point, reviews, my conversations with Glow Audio's principal and the 30-day, no questions guarantee swayed me. I placed the order weekend before last and 10 days later, it arrived, well packaged and double boxed via UPS. The unboxing was simple enough, it arrived fully assembled but for the separately packaged power cable; it was an easy matter to plug everything in and go. first impressions: it's smol, but handsome! it's a little more half as wide as my rack amp, but at 17#s, it has significant heft for its size. I've no idea what iron is beneath the covers, but the chassis seems well laid out and sturdy. It shipped with 2 Shugang 12AX7 tubes and a quartet of Shugang EL84s. I first plugged it in from the pre-outs of my receiver, into a pair of Super Heresy clones and as to be expected, there was a considerable amount of gain mismatch between the Glow and my other power amp, an Emotiva Mini-X 100A diving a pair of Klipsch H700 Heresies, as well as the bookshelf speakers that were driven off of my receiver and my subwoofers, a pair of Velodyne VTX 10B's. With the bookshelf speakers unplugged and the subs and Emotiva attenuated, the sound of the amp was much better, if not a little muddy. putting the receiver in Pure Direct mode disabled the preamp coloration and it really came into focus. Immediately, the soundstage of the Super Heresies expanded. They're just 7 feet apart, but they seemed to fill the entire room. With the subwoofers turned off, the bass response seemed fuller; it almost makes the subs unnecessary when playing Boards of Canada's dub-inspired Aquarius, via a Pro-ject Debut Carbon, equipped with an Ortofon Blue cartridge and stylus. The SQ was a significant increase over my Marantz NR1604 receiver, which previously I had zero qualms with in regard to sound quality. Next, I thought I'd see how it sounded on its own, so I plugged in my Oppo BDP 83, spinning Beck's SACD release, Sea Change into the other input. Holy cow! every thing positive I've written about this amp is exponentially increased- while the sound was great with the AVR serving as a pre, on its own, it sounded like a veil had been lifted: high and mid range clarity, dynamics and bass response all seemed better, so much so that I'm entirely rethinking my approach to my system: a second set of Heresies seems superfluous, the Glow Audio Amp Two and the Super Heresy clones are really all I need for two channel listening. I'll likely get rid of the H700's, rotate one of my amps back to my bedroom studio, pick up an amp and speaker switcher and rearrange my subs & SH clones so they play with both the Amp Two for 2-channel and my AVR for home theater. This means I'll also need a DAC to better utilize my digital sources, but I was DAC curious already. I didn't wait to play with a little tube rolling- I went back to my studio and dug into my stash of tubes- I only had a matched pair of JJ EL84's, so the power stage will have to wait, but I had a couple pair of 12AX7's. First up were a pair from Electro Harmonix: they were extremely mid-forward, a trait which combined with horn loaded speakers, were really too much. in addition to honky, shouty midrange, the bass seemed attenuated and the treble, shrill and thin; I couldn't get them out quickly enough! I put the OEM valve back in to reset my reference and in comparison, they seemed veiled, as if a blanket were laid over the speakers, (but still much better than the transistor AVR). The other pair I had were Groove Tube's 12AX-7 C Selects. I remember not liking them in my Fender Deluxe Reverb, but in the Amp Two, they were well balanced, bright, but not shrill, with ample bass and mama bear, just-right mid range. Next up, I've got a switcher on the way and a matched quad of JJ EL 84's en route. Does anyone have any other tube recs, either UK, USA or European made? (Russian tubes are out, although I'd consider soviet NOS from the former republics) All told, I'm pretty pleased with this purchase so far!

realizing that this is nearly 3 years old, but not listed as closed... is this still available?

I've looked at them and they're certainly handsome amps.

I commissioned a Lux Plus from Strange Audio Experiments this spring that should be ready for delivery soon. It's basically a modded 5E3 Tweed Deluxe, with an interesting cabinet design. I'm leaning towards the Willsenton R8 or R300 because they're ready to go without mods. The R300 is desirable for its 300B tubes, but tube rolling may prove cost prohibitive; I like that both have main in options in addition to their Integrated amp ins. There's currently an R8 that's already been tube rolled available in my neighborhood for $1400; it's been listed for a month, so I might be able to get it for slightly less. I also have options for returned R8s on eBay; it's a bit riskier, but for only $1000, that eases it somewhat. Only hitch is that I'm waiting on a small inheritance which may arrive at some point in the next week to several months, so I can't sn@tch anything up right away, but I also have a check from some side work burning a hole in my pocket and could grab a Reisong R50a Mk III right now... the latter requires some mods to be optimized, so I think I'll hold out for the Willsenton; incidentally, the seller of the R50A is selling because he bought an R8, which tells me that holding out is the right thing to do...

I think I'm leaning towards a low power, single-ended triode amp rather than an ultra-linear one.

Yeah, I currently have around 20 and build and finish guitars at http://instagram.com/sparklemotionguitars to support my habit. Any money I make gets funneled back into more gear.

I've ruled out the Dynaco amps and amps derived from their circuitry, if only because without a tube pre, I don't think they'll impart enough character to make it worth the investment. I do think a 300B amp would be ideal, along with an amp switcher to switch between tubes and the RA-100 for 2 channel and movies. I live in a condo, so 70 dB is about as loud as I go; with the Heresies at 99 dB efficiency, I only need a few Watts. Frankly, the RA100 driving my Heresies and the Marantz AVR driving the Jamo I/O speakers on the front channel of the surround system sounds really pretty great. I agree that the RA-100 is a seriously underrated piece of kit- I picked mine up for under $100 to drive a pair of near field monitors in my bedroom recording studio, but when I pressed it into service to drive the Heresies, slaved to the Marantz AVR pre, it really shined. I probably am fine with what I have now and I'm not disappointed with what I have, but I also have a bit of FOMO and what we call in the guitar world, GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) and want to see if a tube amp would make something that's really quite good, even better.

Reverb is cheaper, I believe and just getting a toehold into audio.

for sales and payments, unfortunately, Paypal is still the king. if you have a website and also do in person sales, Square is an option, although it's been years since I've used it. it will allow you to take credit card payments both online, and in person, either via dongle & your phone or a dedicated tablet. it used to be that their fees weren't bad if you swiped cards, but they's stick you if you typed the numbers in. I don't know what their rates are these days, it's been at least 8 areas since I've used it.

the unquantifiable qualities of toobs that we seek not withstanding, I like the tone of my AVR, and it also provides the option of bypassing the preamp circuit processing, so guess I'm still not seeing the tradeoff. I guess I could see your point with using a Dynaco ST-70, but how would it be an issue with an integrated amp such as the Boyuurange A50 300B or the Willsenton R8, which has both main in and integrated circuits?

I'm not sure I'm buying that, since the tube power amp will be doing the lion's share of the work. I could see bigger issues if it were reversed, particularly with matching pre output and amp input impedance or a SS power amp potentially sterilizing the tone of a tube pre. At any rate, I'm not interested in switching cables, I'd rather sit on my *** and use my remote ; I want the added color of tubes to drive my Heresies, while using my AVR to drive my subwoofer and second pair of front speakers for 2 channel audio and occasionally, 5 or 7 channel.

a tube pre is less than ideal for my setup. I'm using my AVR for 7.1 channel audio and using the 2nd amp to drive the Heresies as my main 2 channel speakers, but also part of the 7.1 system, about 7-8 feet apart, with a pair of smaller bookshelf speakers at 10-12 feet apart for wider imaging. currently, I'm listening about 80/20 digital/vinyl with the onboard DAC doing the work digitally. I'd have to reconfigure more than I want to add a tube pre; a tube power amp or attenuated tube integrated would work better for the setup I have.

Refreshing my H700 Heresies has rekindled my audio obsession. I'm currently using a Marantz AVR with an Alesis RA-100 power amp slaved to drive the Heresies. I have been mulling over getting a tube amp to drive them, instead. My budget is $1000 ballpark, I could conceivably spend a little more, but I'd rather spend less. Available near me are a slough of Dynaco ST-70's in various states, ranging from untouched to recapped & tubed in the $700-1200 range, a Boyuurange A50 Mk III 300B for $500 and tube rolled Willsenton R8 for $1400, as well as a number of HH Scott & Fisher tube amps in the $700-$1000 ball park. what should I be looking at & what should I avoid? I do have a modicum of solder-singing experience, but I'd rather not buy something that needs work before I power it up... TIA, Lance

yes, it came with the Marantz AVR, along with 2 Energy Bookshelf speakers and a Velodyne VX-10 B sub, all for a crisp C-note. The AVR didn't have a phono stage, so I picked up this tube filtered one; it does the job well enough.
