It was the first stand mount that took my breath away. I thought the guy that owed them was kidding about how they just disappeared and imaged so well in the showroom. They were set up vertical on Bose 901 stands. LOL the Bose 901s sat in the corner and these took their place.. No sub speakers, nothing fancy.
A Fisher tube preamp, Phase Linear Solid State power amp, Tuner, Turntable and some cables. About an hour of moving speakers. I remember we flipped them upside down and the tweeter sounded quite a bit better.
It was the first time, I could close my eyes and place where the band members were on the stage right in front of you. but NOT get the WIDE baffle (at the time) bass BANG BOOM crap. 10-12 foot triangle set up.
The new War album had Low Rider and Cisco Kid. Lot of congas in that music with great vocals. Great speakers sound great, but bad speakers sound BAD, kind of music.. These were really really great. James Brown kind of funk o delic delight.. LOL
1-200 watts @ 8 ohms and double down to two (2) is great, but class d will do the trick at a great price. The speakers are a hard load, but todays amps no problem.. I wouldn’t use Valves (Tube) power amps, these speakers dip pretty low.. BUT the preamp side I sure would.
I make no bones about it. I like tone control so I CAN color the music the way I like..
Brought back some memories.. Great speakers..
Regards
