Post Subject: Milq, GM70, speakersPosted by seavan on: 8/11/2014

Romy, thanks a lot for your response. I have no idea how come I did not come across your website years ago. I found it a few days ago and I spent many hours reading it. I am greatly intrigued by the Milq and I have some follow up questions, I hope some of them are specific enough and you can answer them.

1. What is wrong with 88dB speakers besides sensitivity? I have 25W amp that I use at half power most of the time. I understand that I can build Milq with larger transformer to produce that power. It maybe borderline but it would let me try the Milq before I get sensitive speakers.

2. I read more than once on your postings that 6C33C is not the only tube that can be used for the Milq. Do you think GM70 can be a good alternative for higher power Milq? I would love to give it a try but I am very rusty in the schematics and I would need some help.

3. I will be looking for new speakers. What specifically should I be looking for in the speakers? Any recommendation considering low budget? I apologize if this has been answered in your posts, I am slowly going through them.

Thanks so much!
