Hi all,
For more years than I can recall, my JBM Tropicana has been across the corner of the room. Due to a room redesign it now can only go in one place, along a straight wall, one side speaker about 8 inches from the wall, and the other open to the complete room.
The rub is the one open to the complete room now faces the seating area and the direct sound from that reaches your ears before the front facing bass does. So I have midrange overload in my ear until I walk in front of the machine and then it sounds fantastic.
So I had an idea to use the speaker transformer taps to reduce both sides speaker outputs. This has absolutely fixed the issue, which I can only describe as a Rowe Ami design feature probably to show off stereo in its early days but a bit annoying.
I remember having to do this on someone's Continental 2 30 odd years ago.
Anyhow this is my ask here.
The outpost difference between the 2 speaker taps is too large. It goes from lots of side speaker output to not that much. I would like to vary it.
Could I use 2 LPADs connected to each side speaker, set them on high output tags and use the pots to lower the output to the sides ? This way I could get the precise output I want and also compensate for the fact that the other side speaker is smashing the sound up the wall which is reflecting it back more than the speaker in the open room.
Hope that makes sense - it's a question about LPADs. Are they ok with tube amps. The spec is 8ohm each side speaker.
Thanks,
Regards
Nigel
