I had a pair of his EARLY TorII 60 watt per channel MB.. No lack of power just a load issue on Strathearn Ribbons. For some reason that amp got a little wiggy.. Those Ribbons dropped to 1.4 ohms at 150 200 hz or so.. Did not sound good.. A push pull valve amp worked fine...High current SS worked good.. Not the single ended stuff..
Now I would have just upped the XO point to 250 or 300.. Long time ago.. I sold them for more than I paid for them..
I'm looking at his Phono pre and waiting.. Tuning up a Thoren and a R2R to give it a workout. I like the way they are built.. look inside, ART... We use to call it straight wire Point to Point.. No turret boards though.. Common ground and hot rails.. SHORT paths.. good layouts. QUIET..
They take a long time Amego... they kinda slow.. like oh so slow, ho ho ho...
HEAVY.. I like um..
