Hopefully Psvane as that’s what’s in the amp just now and they sound great. ![]()
They were worth a punt and, along with the EH I got from Mike, gives me a couple of pairs to swap about now.

I’ll tell you what lads these Brimar 300B’s are rather good to these ears.
I’ve been quite surprised and pleased with this in the last few days. Up until then I had been running it using the Standard (full feed-forward) filter and it was decent enough, perfectly listenable but nowt special.
Upon the arrival of a full function remote a few days ago, I gained access to the filter options and after some experimentation I am now using filter #3 (plane) - a re-quantization noiseless direct 8fs filter with a very soft LPF curve and the difference is marked, a much more dynamic and vibrant presentation which plays nicely to the Triangle’s strengths.
Colour me impressed.
For the UA-7 tonearm on my Sony TT.
Pleased of Luton writes -Finally managed to pick one up, in decent condition, in the UK, for a reasonable price.
Finally got around to installing the 300Hz Iwata horns expertly 3d printed for me by @Adpully .
Old tractrix
New Iwata
I’ve been using my Vitavox S2 drivers for many years via some smaller 400 Hz tractrix horns from Stereolab (Germany) but have always known they could give a good deal more if allowed to play a little lower.
These horns allow the crossover to move down to ~500Hz from about 700 and it’s meant I’ve had to curb the output of the straight horn beneath with a series inductor (2.6mH) so they aren’t summing too much. Anyhow, measures well and sounds a great deal better than before.
I’m still resisting the move into digital crossovers, I also like being able to play it all off one amplifier if I choose to.
Size comparison
Part of me also thinks, if I’ve taken the trouble to find a nice r2r tape or well made lp I’d still rather hear it undigitised, luddite that I am.
Need to get Andy to print me some nice supports for the JBL tweeters now!
Apart from the digitally printed horns of course ![]()
2405H? about 160mm from base to Centre of Tweet?
I’ll check. These are the AlNiCo magnet ones as opposed to the ceramic magnet version
Will you be using a 45 triode amplifier with those Guy , can’t remember if you built one or not?
He’s soon getting his own 2405s, so you don’t even need to be his guinea pig now!
I did some for the 2405s that he can take and use as inspiration or landfill as appropriate.
At the moment, PP EL84’s but I have a 300B amp I’ll probably use most of the time.
nice
Big thanks to @Adpully who made these stands for my tweeters.
They are perfect ![]()
Two Shindo Pre amps?
