Audio Nirvana Drivers
I meant to state that I can put my head at the bottom of the speaker cabinets and hear the bass they produce. At the bottom of each of the cabinets are two 3" round ports, 1" in length. There is a clearance of 1 3/4" between the base of the cabine... 
Audio Nirvana Drivers
In November 2018 I purchased the Audio Nirvana Super 8 Plus Alnico horns and built some very custom (veneered) Japanese Tamu Ash 2.8 cabinets (with down firing ports). My background is building custom cabinets, and it has always been on my bucket ...

I have the DCC Night Moves coming via mail from an Audiogoner--I'll let you know how it sounds. I was hoping that someone might have a good source for his other music.

Are mono tube amps my best choice?
Rleff,I had heard that mixing amps isn't a good idea. Maybe someone else might like to comment on this. My setup can handle two pairs of mono amps.
