I knew I had to get them looking the business, so i hand painted them with hammertite and sprayed the cages with Satin Back acrylic paint. the next step was the plinths, to cover up the rather tatty, drilled out chassis. A call to my master carpenter Colin 'the Antique' resulted in him making these simply stunning Mahogany plinths, using part of a sideboard from dated from around 1860... the veneers remain a mystery, as he's never seen anything like it, it is 'holographic' when you walk round it, the prettiest wood finish we have ever seen.
and the sound.... well, They have more grunt then any el34 amp of this type i have ever heard, they are fluid with vocal and as sweet as my 300b amp, needless to say, they have taken pride of place in the main room, driving the shop's Snell E and Harbeth speakers. If any one is interested, please give me a call ASAP, as they will be put up for auction on Ebay soon...
