I can imagine a world of difference between the Decware and LK100 - indeed to borrow from a decades old ad campaign by the Scottish maker - chalk and cheese, mate!
Do you still have the Virtue? If so, maybe the next time you're down with way you could pack it along?

yeah, that worked fine - have you entertained a different enclosure for these drivers?
Yes, very much so, using a powered sub for info under 80hz which is great as one can adjust both the frequency response and volume desired with each recording!
and I am using just 1.8 watts of single ended class A tube power to achieve quite lovely listening levels.
No , i want to break-in the 10P in that enclosure. Maybe later
i will built the Pensil 10p or the new simple reflex OV9 ... Let me
tell you the sound is great right now.

I use a Tannoy TS10 cut at 65 hz. I dont really need it i think. The bass is great
with out sub.
Thanks for the tip !
I did have occasion to hear a FirsrWatt clone with some chr70's, it wasn't entirely successful, as it didn't like my (then) pre !

Hi Chris, sadly no, I foolishly sent it to a new home in Seattle (sigh 🙁)
It was a lovely , fine sounding thing, lots of power, but only 1 set of inputs
With newly build Pensil 10Ps
Best- Pass F5, nothing else close
Good- Homebrew EL84 utilizing Triode Electronics Dynaco clone transformers and Sheldon's PCB (diyTube), also $25 generic NXP class d amp board off of eBay.
Of course, the Class D is the runaway best value. But, I love my F5.

22 litres is larger than i'd use... sweet spot is a bit under 20 litres -- i'm going to use 17 litres in the larger of the 2 Mar-Ken10p.

simply put, I think there are completely different operating principles for an MLTL, or tapped hypex horn such as the FHs ( 3 or XL) - the latter for which I've not bothered to calculate the volume ahead of the choke and horn mouth.
haven't heard the simple reflex - should maybe blast together a pair of those - a guy can't have too many unused speakers, or amps, or DACs, or ......
About 21 litres once you account for the volume of the back of the driver, but ignoring the braces (there should be braces)

my only comment would be the 19.45 liter rear ported cabs I am using have prompted me to relocate my sub to the theatre room with the SS 5.1 system.
just the right amount of tight bass for my tastes!

Hi all, I have a set of MLTL Bipolar 4ohm load using the 2 of the Alpair10.2 back to back and needed a tube amp for around $1200. I'm concerting the following as a kit. Any recommendations highly appreciated
ELEKIT TU-879S> (using KT-88)
ELEKIT speaker (with 2A3 or 300B)
Thanks,

Thanks,
I've owned SET amps in 3 of the types supported for the 2 amps listed (the 879 will accommodate EL34 as well) and am a sucker for the 2A3. If the 8233 can auto-detect for the 300B, I'd be inclined to go that route - i.e. you can swap out when you want a change in tonality & power. The nominal watt or two per channel difference between the KT88 in this application and 300B is not really all that significant - it's the first watt that counts 😀
I use a Tubelab SSE. I have it set up so I can use EL34, KT88 and KT90 tubes.
My 12P's are still playing in the cardboard box...Some day soon, I'll have to build a real box for them.
