  After years of waiting, I finally got my speakers today.  Right out of the box they are amazing.  Even with the system incomplete (cheapo pre-amp and junk interconnects feeding the setup right now), they have the same kind of detail resolution and finesse as the headphone rig does. 
 
I think these are the speakers I can/will grow old with.

Great to hear! Which ones did you eventually get? Our last exchange (long ago) I seem to remember you narrowed it to two choices

What about hooking them here for some sweet sounds?

Getting ready to ship another OTL amp so I tried it with a bunch of different tubes.
Good thing it is not hot here I have to use the 230 volt air conditioner outlet to run it after I switched it
to 230 volt for overseas use.
 
Here it is with a 596 & 6F8 driver
 

 
Here it is with a WE422A and a 6F8 driver by the way the WE422A with adapter is the best rectifier
 
It just costs as much as the amp. That is crazy.
 

 
Here it is with the WE422A rectifier 6F8 driver and 6336 outputs
 

 
And with another one of my favorites the 5AU4 large plate fat bottle with the 6336 outputs
This is one of the few rectifiers that can be used safely with the 6336 outputs.
 

 
Another neat rectifier the 5AW4 it has neat construction and sounds good
The plate surrounds the filament.

That is pretty amazing Glenn. Are there switch settings for the different tubes other than for the outputs?

+1
Wonder who the lucky recipient is?
