Pease enlighten me: I presume the C2C distance between the Lowther and the woofer is not a problem because the crossover is low enough to allow for it without creating adverse lobing effects ? But what is the advantage of having the woofer so low down? Does it minimise floor bounce ?

Change of plan, please ignore.

I’m looking for a pair of these triodes. I know there must be some hiding in those man caves guys . . .

Lots more metalwork again today, the chassis is coming together nicely. Drilled and tapped another 20 or so holes today - that's around 40 all in and not a single failure (hope you're reading Phil) - the tap guide I bought was pricey but worth every penny. Some more pictures tomorrow. I’ve previous...

Ray, where did you get that U channel - Ive never seen any that wide before.
