Tube amps and speaker ohms

Duke builds panels, which as you know require massive ss amp power.
Paul then you have a SET amp correct?
Would that be similiar to the 300 tube? Yes. I heard the 300 tube with orch, the load/complexity was overwhelming. Total shut down of the tube. A CJ mono block as well shut down on a ML panel with orch. So obviously orch overload is not limited to SET but can affect just about any tube amp, which in Push/pull config may have to do with the weakness in the trans. In SET's the weakness in "pulling off" orch may have to do with the characteristic of the 300/845/805 tube family

"Duke builds panels"

I didn't know that. Bartockfan, you are a wealth of obscure information. :-)

Boy, oh boy Bartokfan, you are the consummate source of bad information.

Duke builds dynamic loudspeakers that are tube friendly.

His Stormbringer and Jazz Modules are both 92 db/1w/1m, and have impedance loads between 8 ohms and 12 ohms. Very tube friendly loudspeakers.

As a dealer, Duke sells SoundLab speakers, among others.

And, what's up with stating Seas drivers utilize copper magnets? Copper is a non-magnetic material. The Seas Hexadym Magnets used in the Excel line and Millenium tweeter use neodymium magnets.

A little more research would be appreciated before posting.

My bad. I was only aware of Duke's mention of his Sound Labs.
The Seas phase plug is copper, and the back also looks to be copper. I was not aware of the Hex magnet. thanks for the clarification and link.

Ha! Bartokfan, Duke WISHES he built those SoundLab panels! Nope, that's the work of a much much more advanced designer and manufacturing team than yours truly.

Tvad has described what I do well enough that there's no need to elaborate.

Thanks,

Duke
