    LaScala driver questions

    Couple of questions please, my LaScalas have K-55-M mid range drivers and I want to check on how they should ohm out. Also, K-77-M tweeters, what should my meter show on these as well. Crossovers are AA from Crites several years ago. Seems they aren't sounding that well these days...

    Which works harder, phase inverter tube or siganal tube?

    Just a quick question , I know phase inverters should be matched like signal tubes but wondered I should be using NIB Bugle boy 12ax7's or another tube. I don't want to wear out my Amperex's prematurely if that makes any sense. I do have other tubes I can use. Amp is my Knight KG -85 ....Thanks!

    Interesting Dynaco ST-70

    Been looking at this and wondered what any of you all have seen these before? Audio Research modified ST 70. Seems as though back in 1970 or so you could take your ST 70 to Ar and they'd "Hot Rod" it for 375 bucks which was good money back then. Thoughts??? Thanks!
