    I recently did just that. The 60's make it easier to balance the panels to the woofers on the Innersound ESL's. Life is gooder now.
    Just curious, did you trade-in with Paul? Quite frankly, I think 2 TAD-60's look better than two TAD-1000. I wish the monoblocks were wide instead of deep.....

    Yes, Paul made me a very fair offer. I agree with you about the looks and the width of the 1000's. The monos are better off set up on the floor than in a rack.

    Any TAD guys try the 6CA7? Paul has them for $59/5. "A late design, modulating a focused beam of electrons instead of a cloud like older 88’s or 6550’s, so the sound is more detailed and accurate...."

    I've got TungSol 6550's in my bass amp and they are candidates for keepers. They didn't work out well in the panel amp. Can't hurt to try the 6CA7's in the bass or panel amp.

    Got new IC's too.:D Harmonic Technology Pro Silway MK III Plus. Jim is still working on updating the HT web site. Some have been sent out for review.

    I have a quad of EH 6CA7 and like them a lot. To my ears, they don't sound tubey, good high extension, and low slam. I didn't have chance to try them
    on the TAD-60, but they really add dynamic to the vintage Eico HF-87.

    BTW, I "borrowed" my brother's TAD-60. I really don't need the extra watts of the monos!! and the 60 looks better, too......
