They have been the base for verious pieces of equipment over the years that have come and gone. The C33 had a tune up a few years back, but no probblems, and to my ears they still sound very good. They are hooked to a pair of Electro Voice Sentry 3 speakers and they will shake the house.---Ken.

I only heard it once, playing Joseph 33i speakers and it was quite amazing. Very smooth and incredibly powerful. Classic Mc sound which to my ears is one of the best. Arthur
