W,

Be careful with Milq’s LF channel. When you go for a dedicated LF SET and make the SET to operate very low then you need very precisely dial in the loading of your out tube with the behavior of your LF drivers/enclosure. Without know the very specific loading demands I would not suggest you to commit yourself to buy my transformer or to order a transformer form you local winder. The LF SET is not a full range amp and the result will vary much much more then with a MF channel.

Actually, to be honest, I do not feel that you ever need a LF DSET (dedicated SET). Since you use Klipshorn bass bins and if you make the LF Milq with a transformer >7-8H then you will overload the Klipshorn LF. What is the purpose to build a LF DSET and then roll of the LF with a high pass filter. So, if you wish to built a Melequiades then get yours a regular full range Melequiades and it will be much better then forcing a poor Klipshorn to reproduce the LF the they even theoretically can’t handle and that screw up the Klipshorn’s upperbass.

Rgs,
