@corelli the tubes are EL34. I did think about trying to roll a KT88 or 120. I'm unfamiliar with that so I didn't want to "push" the limits if there are any. According to reviews, I shouldn't have a problem rolling higher.
I also thank those responses confirming that break in is mostly what I need. That is awesome to hear. Thanks. My wife just had knee surgery and is home bound for a while. Since she does NOT share my musical passion, those 200 hours will have to wait a while. (because I can't help the need to compress the space with the right sound volume)
Does anyone have good resources for acoustic treatment to the room? I'm looking for panels that I can carry in from storage when I want absolute best experience. Acoustics mounted on gator board to place on both side reflective points. Just wondering if anyone has experience with the size. I know to take a mirror and look from the seating position for the reflection of the opposite speaker and place the acoustic panel at that location. Just wondering how big it needs to be and should it be at the level of the mid and tweeter section of the speaker?
