Hey Todd.... you can make one of those bars!!! You gots the receiver covered!!
Yes I do, Buddly - thanks to you.
Other than being offline for the move south, it's gotten regular service since you sent it my way. And thanks to WA2PJP, I've got a set of nice Jensen 15" coaxial speakers, either of which would do the trick just fine. Of course, that field coil Jensen you included with the receiver probably sounds great too - just need to hook it up one of these days.
Unfortunately, the 'bar' part will have to wait until the wee one gets a bit older. She's just old enough and big enough now to reach and open things. For now, the Budd Pro-100X resides in the guest room lashed to a big EV speaker enclosure. Moved it there a couple months back so I could listened to it at night after Jen has gone to sleep. It still sounds fantastic, though it appears one of the tubes is getting noise. Sometimes a small thunderstorm erupts in the speaker while listening.
