Plug the ports on the L65a with dould up sock per port, then back 077 & mid to "3" to start. Also keep them on the floor while doing this. I also run them with PP 6l6 UL mono tube amps of only 30w or so & @ 9' to my listen position. Those Sony's are good, but if you have the 122A's still in...

I been running 5881 Tung-sol in Ampex mono's with over 520 B+ w/SS rectification so definately in high 400'sh on plate & in UL to boot without problems for a long while now. Albiet I have them biased very lightly.. Joe

Original L65 Jubal's @ 91db efficiency w/ 126A woofers. L65A second version with 122A woofer is @ 89 db efficiency. This conversion I did is on the L65A version. XO is 1k & 6.5k on L65A I am not sure on the 3rd L65B version as I do not know what woofer they used in that. I by mistake typed...

I thought to toss this out to JBL L65a owners. I have ran a pair of these w/ a OB mid for about a year now.The simple & reversible conversion has no permenant changes at all to the original speaker. Simply take a Seas MCA 15 RCY & place it directly above the original mid driver location on top...

To bad the original 8" fr drivers were not in em.. I suspect they were PIM. & definately one of the best fr drivers I have ever heard when properly set up. They are special in many ways.. You could keep an eye out for some 8" Hamlin black box drivers or PIM 8/16, or they were also produced under...

A system in every room incuding all bathrooms..? I also hang retired speakers in my tree's in the summer....*s* Be carefull with permanent bumping of mains. I have went backwards many times do to I thought my newly aquired speakers were smokin the old mains.. fairly soon to find out this was...

When your grid bias goes down your current draw goes up, Are you measureing from across a 1 or 10 ohm resistor from cathode to ground..? You can hang one of these from each cathode to ground on each output tube. & you will be measureing actual current for each tube when measureing across this...

Shacky I think those paticular Daytons sound excellent. In coupling in tubers & XO's. What is the tweeter cap by-pass value on the k-40 you used & please dscribe the differance you heard with & without. Joe

Formby's lemon oil treatment or Howard Feed-N-Wax wood preserver, the latter has no solicone or linseed oil, it is a mixture of beeswax/carnuba wax/ & orange oil. Joe

I just dissconnect em & mount underneath, all is reversable to stock form if no holes or anything else permanent is done. I mount all new caps on the very sticky zip tie mounts then strap'er down. I also change bias resistors on cathode bias machines to a 10ohm in series of the actual bias...

Hey Mark.!!!!!!!!! Didn't put 2 & 2 together , sometimes I am far from bieng on the ball. Maybe sometime this summer we should do a get together audio style. Do you have any PP amps for larger scale mood music..? I get away with 45 on JBL pro 2ways ,but the L65A's really need more for me so a...

I don't think it will be justified with a 45. Way to spendy of tube. I have for years ran a 6sn7/6sn7 amp useing big ol' Pilot iron in PSE mode into ADS L690's with out stading results in a bedroom system. I look forward to this system more than my 5 others that I also listen to every single...

L65 indeed stomps a mud hole in ALOT of speakers , including many favorites of today..IMO. Put them in heavy, heavy stands & run a good PP amp thru'em & oh boy........*s* I also run ADS, & pro JBL, but would never sell L65. Thru my PP 300B or any good PP amp I run they are a joy. There top end...

My favorite speakers I run out of 4 running systems are from 1959. They make wonderfull music....not super hi-fi this sound & that sound, but beats the crap out of any ref.modern monitor I have had or hybrid this & hybris that, including Planars, ribbons, etc............for music I just heard a...

Hello, I am pretty sure the RCA labeled Mullard 6ca7/ el-34's were factory originals as the national branded ef-86 & ge 12au7 are all matched & look to be original. The line voltage here is slightly over 120 most all the time. The new diodes are some fancy high speed noiseless jobbies I paid...

I recapped PS & put in some nice diodes to replace the ageing diodes, checked everything on both mono's. Fired it up & have way to much B+, these are about 1959 el-34 mono's, with cathode bias with a resisitor of 300 ohm & bias adjustment pot of 100ohms, It looks to be also in UL has a tap...

ADS.... nuff said. Joe

WOW.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I better get my A. to church. Joe

I have a pair of KL-7070 that I hate to say.............sound good.They have all foster horn, & have a very nice sounding alnico mid. The sealed cab has nice & fairly tight bass. Not my JBL for res, but they do, do somethings very right. They I would say are something a tube amp loves. I have...

I think these KLF series are the best kept secret in Klipsch...I would snag them. They will be nice at low volume if that is a real issue. Try a tube amp on them if you have 1. Joe

Looks like a Coral/Pioneer type gig. I have had alot of Calrad fullrangers & they allways sound superb. I just yesterday hit a BIN on pair of little mini's with a single Calrad 6" coaxial, that looks exactly like a mini PIM or sk-98, same frame & cone, I actualy might have some huge pioneer...

A 2way way w/ 2226 & very good cd/horn combo w/ a extremely well done XO or active is something to be heard thru a good to great tube amp. You can even take a lowley SR series JBL pro rig & fire it up thru a good/great tube amp & slap in a nice recording & wonder WTF have I been doing messing...

KG-4 can sound exceptionally good for some reason. I remember them well. Driven with a Yamaha MX-2000, & differant tube amps . I don't ever rember them bieng harsh. Woulda been cool to run em side by side a/b with ADS 710 or 810. Joe

Hey John, Hope damage wasn't to bad on that amp. I definately heard enough of the E-wave to hear what can be done. It was coherant. Had the live feel on small scale SPL dynamics. I will just up-scale this to 2226 version & let the dynamic games begin..*s* Nice depth to that sound stage also &...
