It's only about as loud as normal conversation. Definitely not the volume the 690 should be capable of. Other consoles that I own go much louder. Even the 38-8 is louder.

Reception, at least on broadcast, is pretty good. I had a spool of wire (50 ft), most of it still on the spool, for an antenna. When I picked up the spool to find a good location, the volume would increase dramatically.

There is sound from the bass. The overall balance from the woofer and tweeters seems to be about right, as far as volume from each. Just not enough. And then there's that treble control thing.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try pulling the 6K7 and poke around some more tomorrow. Good luck on your MT!
