What orientation did you settle on? Vertical? Horizontal? Or somewhere in between?
Had a good day yesterday with Kedar and the host of the system Jeff, its always nice to hear someone else's system and a first for me to hear an all Kondo system outside of Munich, it was also a first for me to hear these speakers. I felt that the speakers did a great job on the tone of instruments, the trumpets on the Alternate Blues Pablo album was excellent, the classical records we played I am not that familiar with.
The next stop on the amp comparison tour will be to see Bill and his Pnoe's

Facing like a "V" as in the modded UK AirScouts or like an "A" as in mine?
tried both...preferred V in my room, but ended up selling the Trios
I replaced the cheap Community M200 drivers with TAD 4001 mids and the crossovers were redone.........the midbasshorns sang along to over 2K!
messed around with Trio for 12 years before I started on my present setup

Hi chaps, I'm a newbie and this is my first post. This is an interesting post, Lee Henley and I have been mates for around 5 years and I was a normal hifi dude before I walked into his listening room, now look at me
Hi, are you Craig with the AN 2a3 standard gain? Is the Audio Detail valve pre in your signature the 101d preamp?
Hi, yes I'm the guy with the standard gain AN Empress, the Audio Detail is the standard pre he does but he's going to upgrade caps etc for me. I have only had the amps since Sunday and so far I'm really blown away

Ok, that's the one with the Marconi 12AT7W and 6N1P. I love his 101d pre, it is so transparent and musical.

Welcome to WBF, Beckola66!
You could say I’ve cost you a small fortune in that 5 years lolHi chaps, I'm a newbie and this is my first post. This is an interesting post, Lee Henley and I have been mates for around 5 years and I was a normal hifi dude before I walked into his listening room, now look at me
A Horning Sati TT! Never seen one in the wild.
I’ve never seen a Horning Sati turntable in the wild. Amazing.
I have a pair of his original Algame speakers.
So, yesterday I compared the GM70 you heard in Bill's system the Kondo Neiro 2a3 in the Living Voice Air Scout system I posted about earlier, where I had compared the Audio Note Empress Silver 2a3. As you can see from the below video, totally different sound to the one you hear in Bill's video. This is only a 15 x 12 room.
In Bill's video you heard the Graphite tube, here we preferred the Copper tube. We still have to try the copper at Bill's.
Essentially, with the copper tube the Audio Detail GM70 amp had the Kondo tone, rich with texture, but more oomph, bass, agility in violin inflections ,and more dynamic range. The Graphite is more transparent and even punchier, but on the 105db speaker with the Graphite, the bass becomes too much, we have to lower the volume for the bass, and the highs then get compressed. With Copper, it falls into balance.
