beautiful sound (radio voices in particular) but the bass in my

If the room is causing problems at the bass end it will cause the
same
problems on male speech.
**Indeed. However, like any good speaker (and the TLS80 was a good
speaker) with decent bottom end, they require decent damping. I doubt
Keith has heard them with an amp that has decent damping.
Conjecturising again Trevor?

**Provided you've sited them appropriately, they should provide a
respectably flat response with that amp.
What happened to the order for the 10 amps?
**These are your words:
"Tell you what - if you can personally replicate my one and only Chinese
300B SET for 365 UKP apiece, I'll order 10 of them off you...."
I assumed you did not expect a reply. However, since you are fishing for
one, here it is:
Send you amp to me, freight paid by you. I'll see what I can do about
replicating the amp for the money suggested. You can then organise to
have the amp collected and freighted back to you when I'm finished
examining it.
OK, let me see if I can justify the effort and expense of getting you to
replicate what I already know I can get direct from China with no more
than a little Paypal action on my part - I'll get back to you, but if you
don't hear consider that I've taken the decision that I can probably get
by without any amps made by you....
**Kinda what I figured.
I must alert you to several things, however:
* Australia is a first world nation and our wage levels are significantly
higher than those in China.
No idea/couldn't care less, but if that is the case I guess the next
question would be 'Yes, but for how long?'
**Best guess? Another 15 years. Maybe less.
* For that amount of money, there are a raft of excellent amplifiers
available in your local market, which can handily outperform your SET amp
with ease.
If you already *know* that (and are not merely conjecturising again) why
do you need me to send you my amp for examination?
**I presume you like the distortion of the amp you have.
