Hello all,
I am currently running a pair of Quicksilver 8417 mono's into my BeePre. These amps were converted and I am now using KT77's. I just had my Dynaco MKIII with the full Curcio mods repaired and will be installing them soon in place of the Quicksilvers.
So here is my question, currently, using the Quicksilver's I do not have turn up the volume much in order to get to a comfortable listening level. By not much I would say if 10 is straight up I am at about a 2-3. Now the Quicksilver's put out about 45-50 watts. The Dynaco's will be at 60 watts (I am running KT88's or 6550's not sure which yet). Will my output level from the BeePre change. If I have to go much past 4-5 on the BeePre the sound overwhelms the room (not to mention my ears). If it will change how do I go about padding down the BeePre to control the volume sensitivity?
Thanks in advance for any advice or help.
Richard
