To go new or to go vintage?

I will by used whether vintage or new stuff. This way, you can resell them and not lose too much money, and it’s fun to try new gears, and sell the ones you don’t like.

   Vintage speakers like JBL studio 4412, 4430, etc sound real good to me - even compared to new stuff, with their alnico magnets not seen in new ones. There are many vintage ones to hunt down, but you might want to re-do the x-over as capacitors dry out over time.

   Happy hunting...

I heard good things about the amp you are buying - keep us posted as to how it sounds...Happy thanks giving.

I will keep you posted just hoping he fallows through supposed to meet him in about 3 hrs

Get new stuff vintage is history mostly.

Well the good news is the amp is working and bad ass!! The bad news I I had to dump another 200 for speakers and a turntable cause my dual 1019 both of them just would not cut it the feedback was ridiculous. I just got a 150$ black friday sony whatever ps-lx310bt fancy schmancy thing... the pre amp sucked so I used my bellari pa 550 which is actually nice cause I have another volume control and a treble and bass
adjustment. The speakers I got for now ar cerwin
vega l7s studio monitors I got them for 50$ from a really nice dude. So it sucks my duals are garbage I need to have them serviced. But this sony is working good and everything sounds good. Guess I'll get the duals serviced whenever probably going to sell one and swap the sony with the other.
