Hi everyone, I have tamed the beasts. It is rather techie and you can PM me if you want the details, but now the amps deliver about what I think they should and sound great to boot. Distortion stays below 2% all the way to 35 watts RMS and is between 3-4 at 45 watts RMS. At 50 it is still only 8%. Remember this is for a class A tube amp. Response is now ruler flat from 10HZ to past 30K (+/- 0.15db)and only down 0.34 db at 40K. At 100K it is -6.05 db. With all the heat and the high end performance they could double as combination microwave / toaster ovens Really not true, but they are hugely powerful and well behaved now.
