stormin Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I can get more bass especially at lower volumes with the tubes. The big SS amps can be turned up louder, and that is what it takes to get them to drive as hard, but I'm not trying to fill an auditorium either. That says volumes.

HarryO Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Amen OB. I totally agree with you. The 7591s kick the crap out of SS HarryO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormin Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Go listen to tubes LOL OB. Now be serious. I might not be experienced with scotts but I did grow up in 60's and 70's with tubes throughtout my folks home. And I have had some dynacos around here. And honestly I agree tubes produce a much larger bass more rounded so to speak. And by no means am I picking on tubes, heck they may be running my system at some point. But you know sometimes folks get all caught up in the moment and things get stretched a tad[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormin Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Wise play of words. Because you dont seriously think that a tube amp is going to out drive a big crown,qsc,krell pushing a 15 or 18 inch woofer do ya. Geesh man those things will suck the life out of ya. =============== What is meant by "out drive?" Geesh now Marks involved. I need to back step out of this quickly[] What was meant by that was the overdampened effect that some huge ss bring Mark. Not so much big bass but the super tight bass that hits mighty hard. It appears about 700wpc get ya there when it comes to ss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryO Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 The invite is open. I can't post pics for some reason. Colter has been giving me some advice on how to get them through but I know as much about cameras as I do womens fashion. FYI, I love a girl in a tight top and cut-off jeans. Send me your email through PM or contact me at hbailey1@earthlink.net for some quick pics. HarryO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aviserated Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I thought it was common knowledge that when bi amping speakers you would drive the bass with solid state and the mids/treble with tubes. Simply because tubes cannot cut the mustard when it comes down to good tight low bass. Don't most all Scotts have tone controls. Do you have to turn the bass control way up to get good BLOATED bass from your speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 SOUND, how do tubes SOUND- not tech talk about equipment please. I'm wondering about peoples personal experiences with their reaction to the sound of tubes in contrast to what they've experienced with S/S. Let's leave the equipment for another thread. I'm trying to decide if what I heard is a common occurence or just what can be expected. Thanks, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
