I see your point and to be honest I kinda thought the same thing but they do look good! Back to the plan, two way bi-amp w/sub. El 84 is 90% done all wired up with new matched 84's on order. Now these guys have come out with a beautiful board that mimics the old Eico el 34 or kt 88 monoblocks with 12au7 drivers and 6sn7 phase splitters for a healthy 35 watts with light neg. feedback. There's my bass amps. Dirt cheap even with Hammond trannies. . Keep ya posted.
