Having tried out/used vacuum tube amps for quite a while now, over a year for the top end of the 4343's with really pleasing results, I felt confident this could be something to try with big woofers too. Might even tri-amp later, however I've got two monoblocks recently, my very first Altec Lansing gear. They're probably better known as cinema amps, @ 80watt/each. The second one is lying face down behind the unit in front, on spacers.
Once again WAF might be not the best but I like that green (didn't it inspire Shindo?) and with the glow of 8 EL34 they look nicer in the evening and man they sound stunning in a first setup already, totally different league to what they replace. Thought I'd share a first impression here, perhaps the one or other is familiar with them and inclined to comment? Always open for thoughts to get the best out of these.
