The 10" "woofer" is well known to "high-end" designers, who love the "fast" bass, and I have to admit that Wilson and Dunlavy (among others) have also managed to get some impressive (at least for a while...) "dynamics" from the little woofers.  To lo...

I would not call them “bad”. They use very different magnets and meant to be used with higher power (with all negative consequences). You see the ceramic magnets are more or less OK for LF application but when a driver goes up and hits upper midrange...

Yes, decoud, the 6e5p-GM70 is an easy amp but 6e5p is a hell of voltage driver and I do not feel that a single 6e5p will be able to drive GM70 into grid currents.  If people use dead speakers and need a lot of power than use the ability of direct hea...
