Are you using tube field coil power supplies for the Classic Speakers? If so, what brand and any more information available about them?
I have a customized LM Power Supply running Tungar Tubes, John Wolff has larger tube Power supply he can use. Right now i have not rewired the T3.4 yet to run off the tubes, My plan is to have 3 independent wires to all 3 Field Coil drivers powered by 3 individual taps.
Must be close to Heaven in the larger room.
How’s the bigger room sounding Bill? In something of an empathetic stream I’ve been tucked away downstairs in a 5.2m x 7.6m space but just shortly moving upstairs into a larger room and hoping the horns will appreciate more space.
you are the more experienced traveller into the unknown. it’s great that you share your explorations in the bespoke. Continuously very subscribed here.
The new room is 9m x 8m Christoph but not as good a shape. It’s a L shape but I need to move up while I renovate the downstairs room. On the bright side it has better aspects with views over the lake. Horns and SET just make everything bearableHow big is your bigger room?
Your "small" room is already a very nice space

Good that you are shifting rooms first before swapping in the field coils as I’d imagine it’ll be also good to get your bearings on the speakers in the new room. They look great in it.
Also keen to get your thoughts on how the field coils marry with your ripoles as well. I did have some thoughts still to try the voxativ field coil that is spec’d for pureaudioproject already but holding off to hear what you find. Apologies but letting you go into the abyss first
You’ve certainly got plenty to play with going forwards
I’d very much love to hear them one day Bill, as crazy any notion of travelling overseas these days seems. I really admire their appearance and you’ve managed to come up with a very balanced and integrated looking form. But also the way you have used the scale but not then ended up with anything overbearing or immodest and they just seem to sit so nicely in space. Also loving the finessing in the detailing. They look very mature in design which is amazing if these are just among your early efforts.
… although more than happy to enjoy the inspiration and strangely hoping to be led astray.I’d very much love to hear them one day Bill, as crazy any notion of travelling overseas these days seems.

Horns can be amazing sounding things and while often visually inspirational (I think that’s why we all call it horn porn) and sexy looking but sometimes the larger ones can end up in some ways awkward but not with these… I really do love the way they’ve come together Bill.
The next move to field coil and then exploring exotic power supplies is a whole other level and a big point of anticipation here. I am a big fan of other people being happy I swear but I do fear you may take us here dangerously into another level
Also enjoying the stories of other people’s visits as well, you do seem to be enjoying the journey as well as investing very fully in it. That strikes me as a very good approach to life in this. Hope the switching in of the field coils proves breathtaking, I imagine with my small experience with OMA that it may well be so and that would be awesome.
Wow, is that a Nakamichi 3 box DAT player I see in the background?
