A couple years ago I asked here for advice about Valencias for sale locally. I got them home and used them as my daily drivers. I think it was beginning of covid and i was on a jazz kick.I replaced the cross overs with Werners and added a super tweeter. I used an 46 tube, 2A3 and 45. I also tried a pass XA30 thinking they were under powered. I liked them a lot. But eventually switched back to my 100% modified Belle and thought how it was a better all around speaker. Last week
I pulled them out from the cat’s room to take some pictures and places an ad to sell them. I have been listening the past week and really fallen in love with them. I’m using a 45 tube on the 16 ohm tap, ( if that make a difference) . I have my subwoofer swarm turned up more than i did in the past. I also built some stands. And wow. I cant stop listening to them. Maybe the rest of my system, the turntable, the stands, the placement is just perfect? Maybe the super tweeter is time aligned and volume matched just right? I don’t know but now I can’t sell them, or don’t want to sell.

mine are HeathKit cabinets so there’s a large cavity underneath….
