      ok-shit all over me, but revisiting EL-8O, Gungnir Multibit-->Cavali LC balanced ain't too shabby. Tipped up/bass light, but sub bass has good control.

        Foam surrounds are supposedly cheap to fix but I I get scared of doing it wrong.

        We'll see what the local AN dealer says. Peter Q probably spec'd some oddball foam density and proprietary glue after a bazillion different auditions, so I wouldn't really trust just sending the driver off to PE for generic stuff, or doing it myself with a generic kit. but, who knows...

        Pvane UK-6SN7 are "best" overall IMO, YMMV, YOLO whatever. Followed by RCA 5692, then Sophias. Different flavors.

        @zerodeefex: Yellow or green lettering? I've got a pair of 1950 2-hole, black plate bottom getter Sylvanias that I havent tried yet. I'll pop them in this morning and give a listen.

        There was a time when friends couldn't /be/ disliked.

        But that was changed, because, hey, we can be dislikable too.
