That'll work then. Enjoy. I've heard good things about those Russian caps.

I've been planning on mentioning them mind reader

The short answer is yes but, the long answer is it's a little unfair to review them yet.

I don't have stands yet so I've been playing them on the floor tilted a little upwards and the house is 1/2 empty so it's a little shouty. That said, going from AR9s to those little things, I'm really impressed. They've got much bigger bass than you'd think and the highs are well clear. They can even take more power than I thought, although they don't go loud enough to drown out my singing

Let me get into the new place and them up on proper stands, I'll add more. I'm looking forward to running them on tubes too.

Pete

There was this Mcintosh MC-752 on the bay for an opening bid for $400 in really good shape...original box etc and he just re-listed it as a buy it now for $1000!!!

Is there a big difference in the sound between the 752,4 amps and the autoformer ones? Maybe Carl has heard both....

I really could not afford it so maybe it is better the amp is now higher lol

752 has a little less oomph and IIRC no powerguard anticlipping feature. I have never been around them all together to compare at the same sitting.

I found a pair of Snell Type E III

$19.99

gotta do the refoam bit but I think I can handle an 8 inch woofer


everyone says they are good
I was with my wife and actually bought these, put em in the CRV in back, and drove home without her noticing! They are still in the car.

Last week Infinity QB-1s, this week Snell...next week Yorx!

I paid around that for a pair in Oak needing foam. I used MAT replacements. They are some of the best sounding speakers I have heard.

Mine are oak too, not black. If you were not really looking they would resemble some cheapo rack system...but the name Snell caught my eye so I took a chance.
MAT?
what is that? speaker parts company?
thanks
