And B&K owners here?

Loved my B&K ST-140! Bought it n 1985 and sold it here on AG in 2012. If I had it now I would consider talking to Musical Concepts regarding a refurbish and/or mod.  

Back in 1985 I put together a system consisting of Sonographe SG3 TT w/ Sumiko MMT arm, Tasliman cartridge; B&K ST-140 and Pro10 pre; Vandersteen 2s (1978 models). Enjoyed it for about 8 years then replaced the Vandys with Sound Dynamics STi  300s. Kept the B&K gear 25 years. Felt the 140 to be the best of that system.

Thanks Lou. I was very proud of that system for the money I had in it. I still own the Sonograph TT. It was my only source as I did not jump into digital until the year 2000, never thought early digital sounded as good as vinyl at that time. Now mostly digital, computer based. Curious as to how it would compete against todays budget turntables. 

The Sound dynamics were more detailed, faster however not as deep in bass, more dynamic. A truly great speaker at its price. Now my Vandys were a very early model 2 (1977-1978).  I sold them and then they were returned to me several years later with non functional drivers. Cost to repair was too high so I gutted them and made bass traps with the enclosures. 

As my system now resides in a bedroom, I also prefer 2-way monitors. Currently a pair of Esoteric MG 10s.

I upgraded my B&K ST140/Pro10 to a Vincent integrated then went separates. Currently using a BEL 1001 MK5 SS amp and Jolida Fusion tube pre.  

For a budget system in a small room the Fostex speakers look interesting. Especially when paired with a small sub. Any idea what the impedance and sensitivity parameters are on them?
