I have installed a new matched pairs of EL84's in my amp and have been "boot scootin" speakers all aover the living room---moving furniture out of the way ----There is no WAF factor ---getting a decent image --still hearing a tight sharp thing in the high end--I think what it may be is at the high end the speaker can't go any higher andit sounds loud,sharp, shouty---I'm thinkin ( like I know what I'm talkin' about!) a super tweeter ? Like Akhilesh installed---getting some decent bass though---Diana krall sounded very sweet!!!!Think I'm going to get some different sized resistors and inductors to keep playing with the sound Jim

SOunds good JIm! Looks like you are wqell on the journey! A supertweeter in my opinion, at least for my speakers was not just a tweak but a NECESSITY. Also, the compensation circuit for bass, when i finally got it working (you haven;t heard it iwth that) made a pretty big difference as well. Given the limitations of the driver and a BR enclosure, i think i have it pretty well tuned now....(maybe i speak too soon!)

Can you let us know the address for the audio get tohgether next saturday. thanx

Try setting the speakers toe to around 15-30 deg from the centerline aming out from the listening position.Works for me.
