Hi efficiency indeed......

High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

Finally got around to hooking my diy set 71a amp up to the model 19's tonight. Now I admit the amp is at 3/4 throttle and the pre is at 1/2 throttle, but we are talking a whopping 1.5 watts per channel here folks, and by doggies it works and works well.
We are not talking high energy classical passages or rock & roll concerts, but for acoustic music, small combo jazz and chamber music it is a knock out. The 71a has always been one of my favorite tubes for it's sweetness, clarity and surprising good bass.
Also tried my mono Eico HF-32 through one channel and was pleased with the sound of that as well. It runs 4 6BQ5's in push pull for a total of 30 watts in mono. Now that really made the 19 sing. May have to try and find either another HF-32 or an HF-30 to come up with a stereo pair. I could disconnect all the tone controls and and such in the 32 and have the equivalent of a 30 I think. Ought to really be something to hear as the 6BQ5 is a sweet tube too. Has any one ever tried them in in SET?
