More info please!  Those are some cool old Coral drivers.  What size are they?  And what is the amp/preamp combo?  In the preamp it appears you are running some tube other than the original as I see socket adapters.  :drool:

Do you plan to put the drivers in a different cabinet...or perhaps OB?

Thanks amp is a Tube Audio Lab built 2A3 with 6C6 drivers...the preamp is a Dignity Audio Pm201 upgraded with Obbligatos and Mundorfs..running with 7N7's or 6SN7.

Drivers are Coral Flat 10A.  I couldn't afford the Beta 10s.  OB cabs maybe in the future.

I've already commented on these elsewhere, but I love those and bet they sound great with those tubes.

The midrange weight is excellent...I am truly enjoying acoustic music with these Corals...
