"It was a dark and stormy night..."
No, actually in broad daylight, I bought a new pair of 901-s2's.*S*
Already owned a 2270 Marantz (👍 edcyn) and an AR tt with a Stanton cart....wanted a pair of speakers that didn't need a forklift or major muscle to move about.
I was in my 'nomadic era' at the time...by preference, rather than being one step ahead of the authorities, be they uniformed or female...
No, they weren't 'high end', but they could fill any space large or small.
...and the small part was attractive at the time....
I remember at a Pacific Stereo in SoCal, a salesguy had a pair playing, rather loud (it seemed)....hooked up to a Phase Linear amp.....
In between cuts...."That's impressive...."
He grinned, and turned it up from 5 to 9....turned it to 4 after a couple of minutes....
*L* "901's are power-hungry....You can throw a kilowatt at them, and they want More...." and back to 9....😜
Good....I can't destroy them. *L*
Lived happily together until I moved on to a pair of Infinity WTLC towers....*S*
But, in the interval....I made the pilot lights of that 2270 dim with the bass line.....and broke neither.
...and a Good Time was had by All. ;)
