Has anyone heard a tube Vox ac30tb cooking at max volume? Did you also have the pleasure of hearing an frfr speaker system like the Redsound Eli’s 8’s at volume 8-10?
I have had the pleasure of hearing an ac30 tube amp cranked but not my Eli’s 8’s at max.
But I will tell you this, when I run a tube vox ac10 at volume 3 gain at 9-10 am in my small studio room it sounds like pure saturated warmth and richness whereas my Eli’s 8 on vol 3 sounds the same as vol 1 just louder. And even then when I say louder I mean the sound fills more space in the air.
Now there is another issue , sound coming out of a tube amp speaker cone and the sound coming out of an frfr unit filling the room.
It could very well be the Elis 8’s sound better when volume is taken to 8 or so but I’ve never had the pleasure to test that. I live in a condo and I’m not about to get a second eviction notice figuring it out.
Also over the internet on our computers one can barely tell the difference between an Elis 8 frfr and a cranked amp. Live in person is a different story.
