After your measurements/comments atomicbob I am really looking forward to receiving this amp. Zampotech got it shipped back in April to me but it has been stuck (I am hoping not "lost") apparently in US customs since April 28th. I am particularly glad to see the relatively low Z out given that Focal Clears are a target use case for me.
modius + Bachelor + HD6xx is gateway to high performance audio with off the charts performance / price ratio.
@crenca - @gixxerwimp sent me some 6ej7 to measure in SW51+ but they too have been stuck in customs since Jun 5. Status shows they are clear but USPS reports the tubes are at customs. Wonder what is happening at US customs ...
For the last month perhaps with ICE (just speculation) it's "all hands on deck" with the protest/riots, and before that COVID slowed things...just guesswork on my part.
@YMO They are substantially similar in overall enjoyment. However I feel the Bachelor hits harder on transients such as snare hits, kick drum hits, etc. SW51+ has better resolution of musical nuances. The differences described are minor, not night & day.
@RobS Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen - the second part is especially telling for a system. Engaging, energizing, mesmerizing on a highly synergistic system. Falls apart like a wet taco on a collection of equipment lacking.
I also like the intro to Singing wins, Crying beasts to check gear out. La Bohème from Aznavour in order to check the goosebump factor and Beethoven‘s fifth forthe capacity to blow me away.
