Interesting. What is it about that type of tube that requires more heat than a regular unshielded tube?

The heater of the C3m is 20 volts.

Clayton I like the looks of the room. Just curious if you tried those speakers away from the wall and also away form the side walls also. usually you get a vivid presentation. I use to set my speakers up in my 20X13.5 room 3ft from the side wall and 4ft out from the back wall amnd I sat 6ft away and had a pretty amazing osundstage not sure about your room size though. Looks fantastic by the way, But I am curious to how they soundstage setup like that, Interesting setup. Thise monoblocs look fabulous

Hello Frank. Thank you for the compliments.
 
My apartment is such that I can only bring the speakers out about 1.5 from the wall. I also don't turn them up much because of the neighbors so the sound stage is pretty wonderful at low volume. When my neighbors are gone I pull the speakers out about 3 feet from the wall and turn it up a little bit. My listening room is 15' x 14'.
 
This is what the space looks like behind the right speaker.

Clayton, what are you using for a primary source these days? I know you are using a lot of vinyl, any digital or anything with your PWT?
