Terry, yes indeed I think antenna size-position etc had everything to do with it. I have found with these old long wire receivers that every one of them sounds vastly different depending on the room an placement in my house. We are in a new-temp home will we look for a new bigger place (just sold our house) so this house is foreign to me and have not been able to set much up yet.

Also, I did notice one of my 36s tested very near the top but the other was mid way so pondered that being an issue too. I figure with a little set like this everything needs to be tip top shape. I just purchased a matched pair of NOS RCA 36s on ebay for a good price so will have those soon.

Funny how one can seem to spend 3 times as much labor on a little set like this then a big complex one...
