845 or 300b with Agalme?


Hello, I have Horning Agalme speakers, I think the other horning speakers would be similar but just smaller. and I’m looking to hear who has heard them with 845 and 300b type amps.

 

my room is 28 x 18 dedicated music room

Everything I have read is having me lean toward the Thoress 845 mono’s
 

 

I would appreciate any info.

Thanks, Scott

Too sad. If you could have a nice matching wood chassis made I bet it would be pretty easy to get the amp going again. I doubt the internals are damaged much or beyond repair.  As long as the iron is good the amp can live again 

@grannyring In regard toThoress, I purchased with possible intention to upgrade caps, resistors. Did you listen to Thoress? If you did, how would you describe flavor?     i'm thinking Texas Components TX2575, Duelund Cast.

I repaired a Thoress Full Function Super Preamp. I don’t own a turntable so I did not listen to the phono section which is said to be very good. I did listen to the line stage in my second shop system only. Really just for post repair testing.    I can tell you it had a very warm and richly textured sound. Not the most transparent piece I have heard, but it has that romantic tube sound. 
 

Thanks @grannyring If sound signature of phono similar my chosen parts substitutions should provide exactly what I'm looking for.
