I am certainly looking into an integrated solution.  The first thing that I need to do is determine a safe distance to keep those 6C33C's from the wood or drivers.  I have listened to Tax's fullrange Melquiades once but was not thinking at the time about the proximity to other things as I am now, otherwise I would have made my experiments at that time.  I am still waiting on some final parts to arrive before I build a fullrange Melquiades myself.  In the meantime it would be nice to decide if this could be implemented or not and whether the idea should be dropped.

Romy, are you able to give me some advice on what you think is a safe horizontal separation between 6C33C and the timber?  It would be much appreciated.  Perhaps just use your hand and estimate what you think would be a safe distance so as not to disturb paint or make something too hot in general.  Or perhaps use a thermometer or temperature sensor on your multimeter to get some idea of the temperature gradient from the valves.

I will give Tax a call and ask the same of him, but of course he is just running a single 6C33C.

Regards,

Anthony
