Could you tell me what FR means.
Thanks...the system will be a second floor bedroom, that is around 19 X 15, with standard 8 ft ceilings. Thus far I’ve owned a Luxman 550 AX/II, and it was pretty good, but nothing special. I think tubes are going to be a must for me. My main setup is Shindo/Altec, so perhaps I’m spoiled. I tried that Luxman with my Kuzma table, and it was still not as engaging as I would have liked.
The Audio Hungary (Qualiton) line has had my interest, so I appreciate the reminder. They remind me of Quicksilver in a way. Hand wired, no Circuit boards...not trying to reel customers in with hype or high price. Not to say you don’t get what you pay for, because sometimes you do. But I think we were in a very good place with tube amps 20 + years ago. Think VAC Renaissance...they were amazing. The old CJ premier series, Jadis...great OTL amps from Atmasphere, Tenor, Joule.... I don’t want to ramble....
On the positive side...we do have more efficient speakers to choose from today than we did 15 + years ago.
