Post Subject: Giant TransformerPosted by Paul S on: 3/14/2012

KOT, as you may know, the ML2 has a BIG transformer to make "36 Watts" at clipping; but even with this and the trick feedback it is not the first choice for large dynamic/OB drivers. Of course I mention this because of your remarks about the 6C33C, big transformers and LF. OTOH, if you give the 6C33C suitable input and a reasonable load, then it will not mess up what what it is presented with, including the amazing-to-me ability to not screw with any Tone that comes its way. In this way (and in its "directness") it reminds me somewhat of the 2A3.

For many years I also used the RTR HF modules (6/side), but paralleled with XXXXXXXX dynamic tweeters, as far as they would go. IOW, I agree with Romy about exploring the 6C33C with parallel "tone drivers", if only to also enjoy the 6C33C's "gift" to Tone.

Not to go too far, but I also like the "6C33C SET LF" very much... as far as it goes... In fact, one problem I'm having now is getting "more LF" that is anywhere as good as what I got from my 6C33C SET!

Maybe Class A SET input/drivers into Class A 6C33C PP...

Best regards,
Paul
