@thermionicemission are your MX135s running the KT88s or EL34 output tubes? If so, which ones. Originally I believe they came with EH KT88s. Can taylor the sound some from there or with the smaller 12FQ7, 12AU7s if you choose. Good sample of different type speakers you have there too, should be fun. Enjoy!
Speaker recommendations wanted for Quicksilver M135 amplifiers
Hello All!
I just acquired a pair of Quicksilver M135 amplifiers and line preamplifier. I wasn’t in the market, but they came to me in a trade. I am wanting everyone’s recommendations on speakers new/used under $5000. Room is 16x22, however I listen from about 7 feet away. Music preference is jazz and some light classic rock.
My current system consist of a McIntosh 240, Fisher CX-2, and Triangle Comete 40th anniversary speakers.
‘Thank you in Advance,
Rob

@decooney I am running NOS RFT EL34’s biased at 40ma. 12AU7’s are RCA clear tops and 12FQ7’s are RCA as well. |
@thermionicemission nice setup and choices for tubes. I’m a huge EL34 fan myself, in the right amp with good transformers. Curious to know what you think of this particular M135/tube setup now - compared to your MC240. Which is simply more engaging to sit and listen to music for longer listening sessions, and why? |
+1 @bdp24 i've actually heard both the LFT-8b and LFT-16a speakers through various older generation and recently new Quicksilver amps at my local dealer multiple times. Interesting how the ETs are very low efficiency yet the QS-ET combo sounds very nice together. Heard them with my QS M120s too, very nice! |
