Imaging: at what distance?

[Richard C.]

Ron,

Just because of you, I will try out one of my old tube amps on my 19's. I have a pair of Dynaco Mark III's that I need to rebuild (either modify or not modify to the "new" input stage / phase inverter stage???). I don't know if this mod will decrease their value or what. I also have a 25 WPC Heath that was cut from a Heathkit receiver (tin snips - not real pretty). I just can't imagine SET for me, but I did hook up a very small transistor radio with 400 MW out to an A7 with amazing output. It sounded like c*r*a*p, but it was loud enough to fill the room with screechy music!

I have the Clapton 2 CD Blues set and I love almost ALL of the studio and the live sets. I have ZZtops "one foot in the blues" and I really love it, too! I guess I need a special room to listen "loud", because my wife seems to think it's always too loud!!! Not everyone likes/needs live concert levels.

Yes, I would like to hear your setup, BUT Portland and Atlanta are about as far apart as we could get in the US!

Guys:

Briefly my two cents worth. Coaxials drivers were of most benefit to me in NEARFIELD studio monitors. In that use you want freq and phase consistant response in a close sitting position to allow accurate mixing. Twenty feet away driver separation is less noticeable and imaging is less affected
