Hey folks , Steve here in Nevada . I've been wanting to go "Tube" for some time . I'm not "Well Healed" so I'm looking at Yaqin's etc. around $ 800-900 . From what I've read here and elsewhere tubes have their own characteristics , but where to start ??? I like my music a bit on the "Cranked" side of life at times . Spirited listening would be a good description as any .
I listen to Blues (more modern) A.B.B. , Johnny Winter , Elvin Bishop , Savoy Brown , Tab Benoit , Tommy Castro (to name a few) .
Classic Rock , Stones , and a plethora of others - Jimi Hendrix , Foghat , OOOOLLLD Journey , UFO , The Who , Humble Pie , Zepplin etc.
What might be a good starting point with those formats ? What tubes should I be looking for ?
I don't want to get "drilled" with Highs , I'd like a definite mid-range (most of my hearing loss is in mid- to mid-highs .
I'm going to build a pair of speakers that were suggested on Steve Hoffman's site . I just finished a pair of 3-ways I call WTF I's . They don't sound bad at all but I really didn't pick drivers that compliment each other .
I intend on using Pyle Pro PA255-8 10" / Pyle Pro PDS182/Goldwood Horns that he suggested in place of the discontinued Pyle PH565 (300 somethings) crossed @ 2K .
Thanks , Steve
