Never thought I'd buy another amp.........

  • My guess about the relatively low volume has to do with the efficiency of the speaker. Some of those old ELACs could be as low as 90dB at 1W/1M. Compare that to a typical modern speaker like a Vintage 30 at 100dB and that might explain what you are hearing (hah, modern speaker, Vintage 30. Ironic). 10dB is pretty huge.

    I hate emojis, but I hate being misunderstood more. :)
