Hey guys! Got the cabinets home Sat and the amp back with a new set of EL84's (matched) on my Pilot 500 amp---Fired them up and running ---still have to tweak the port tube as the tube and the port opening are almost the same so I'm not getting correct function but --first impression is they sound better than the 1.25 box Akhilesh spec'ed out for me---and though the bass doesn't make my ears stand up it's still there and nmore so than in the other box--got to get that tube installed correctly----and I too am running a "filter" as you showed me Akhilesh----and have it installed on "the fly" so I can alter it as I want too-----hopefully we can encourage Phil to bring his now famous 1.3's and we'll have something to do on Sat next---Jim

HI Jim, Sounds good. I would love to hear it, and compare it to Phil's 206 full ranges. You should know that the "inductor" i was using when you came to my place was not appropriate (too high a resistance) and you will need to order one from parts express or some other place. Make sure the resistance is as low as possible. BTW, after i figured that out, i did get a good inductor from PE, and the difference is MUCH more than before. MUCH better bass. I suspect you will find that too. What you have right now is pretty much a series resistance, probably, which is raising the Q but not contouring the response as an inductor would. thanx -akhilesh
