The Whamodyne files - ancient Bottlehead history
Doc B.:
Here's a link to our early experiments with cost effective efficient speakers for low powered tube amps. We've learned a lot since those days, but it's still interesting reading.

Keim:
I built these speakers, and still use them. They were easy to build, inexpensive and sound great. In fact, people are amazed by the sound quality. Very low WAF.
Tubejack:
I have a full complement of the ORIGINAL specified Whamodyne woofers, mids (I think I have 10, but need to confirm), and tweets which I purchased in 1997-98 in original boxes. Too many projects, not enough time. My workshop is in the environmentally controlled part of my house, where they have been stored, so no attic or basement effects - perfect as the day they were received. With Doc's permission to post, I would like to offer them to a Bottlehead who will actually built a full Whamodyne system; for $150+shipping, from 79912. Pls send me a PM if interested.
Note: I am traveling so it won't be possible to ship until 1st week Nov, if interested.

I realize I am answering this 5 years later. But doesn't a low WAF mean that your wife doesn't like them? Aren't you suppose to aim for a high WAF?

Gaël,
Dan's wife is "Queen Eileen" queen of Bottlehead. She is into music, electronics, tubes and has been known to build a kit herself. Not your average wife. Neither is my wife, average.
