RE: Bassbin

>>>bass is the weakness here IMO. I also am space constrained and that's why this "Onken" is a small cheap 10" Vifa paper cone woofer. It can go to higher frequencies and all that, but when you're listening to solid state on the bottom to low mids and single-ended tube on the low mids on up, it's definitely another compromise in terms of "seamlessness".<<<


Hi kurt,

If size constraint s a real concern maybe the low Vas Deltalite 10" from Eminence or the BassLite Hemp 10" MI woofers would be a good solution when ss driven... Try MLTL enclosures.

usspeaker.com has them on sale.

I dunno what dims you used for the 'Onkened' Vifa, but high Vas drivers would work well in an MLTL enclosure if designed to be used with high ouput Z amps (tube), ergo you can get away with smaller bassbin dims and placement near wall/s for adequate room gain bass lift. As someone told me before. it's a 'classic vintage' implementation that works well. Of course, you would have to change amps for 'seamlessness', something like 5-7W tube. IIRC, you used to have PP45 amps. That might be good compromise if you dont mind going fullrange passive and not bi-amp. Or maybe even go higher power Eimac valve SE. I want to try PP45's mself but not IT coupled, instead plan is for L-splitter parafeed using an SE input stage.
