Understated monoblocks

Nice work Alan, go the whole hog and remove those front bolts.

Simon sq, what would you suggest? I suppose dome head bolts would look good, the fitted ones came with the enclosures.

Simon LDT, the sound is better than the AIR, in the areas you would expect with a move to monoblocks.
I am rather glad I took the trouble, the bass is more dynamic, the channel separation is better and the image is clearer

I like the bolts that you have, give it a slight industrial feel.

Oh bugger....
More temptation!
With exposed valves I can't have them in the house though.

Well that's it then Kevin, off the menu for you

There is plenty of room to put the valve inside the case actually but I put them on the top for the aesthetics.
After realising that the heater was visible over its full length with these single triodes I also orientated the valve so the heater was visible from the front

I am only talking incremental gains of performance, so enjoy what you have

Oh, I am enjoying the system now.
I would love to hear these one day, just to see, well hear, what you have managed to do this time.
