Big Tubes Galore

Postby boombastig » Sun Dec 23, 2012 7:04 pm

I think my Xmas will truly be great. Finally I got the gears and the "thrones" aka racks/stands to place these treasures! . . .

Take a look. . . .

nice racks, Boomba!

have you finally blended the amps via biamping method. i'm guessing you assigned the integrated GM70 on your mids while the mono-block 70s on your tweets, tama ba?

i am also guessing that you wouldn't place the sub there if it is not playing...

how's the sound so far?

It's the other way around. The Integrateds on the tweets and the monos on the 8-inch woofers. I guess you did not notice that the tube glow on the integrated GM70 is a little bit more orange than yellow. That's because it is of the copper plate variety which has a terrific midrange, similar to the 300B, but has a tad weaker bass. The monos use the graphite plate which has a punchier and deeper bass. And I guess you are right. . . am using the 12-inch sub for bass that creeps up your spine. Hehehe. You should visit some time to hear it and get the ribbons na. Baka ipatapon na ni Misis!. . . ;)

Tama ka Pattorney! Xmas is going to be bright. But did you notice that there is a different glow in the stereo GM70. More like an orange glow rather than a yellow glow. Well, my friend, it is because they are the copper plate breed. . .. Iba klase kapatid! Much better sounding than the graphite but has a tad weaker bass and more lush mids and highs (sounds like a stronger 300B). Next week na session! . . .
