Muleving,Something I forgot to mention, My 3C24 amp was converted by Paul Birkeland to use 812 output tubes. That's made it a giant-killer! I love it!Dan

Muleving, I made my own custom connection system, as I was never impressed with the Tannoy piss-poor lashup. Excellent speaker system, lousy connection system!Regards,

I love your system, and that fine black moustache that appears to be smiling. If I had the opportunity to listen to your system, I would be smiling too!Regards,Dan

I had the same problem once. I moved my wood heating stove from the end wall, and put my system there, and it worked out great. I would ry using the end wall for speaker placement, if possible.
