I’ve got a vintage English roadster (‘55 Triumph), and the engine is half apart now. But after working at a computer all week, I don’t mind getting greasy. I would have to take anything electronic to a skilled repair shop. So for me, it sounds like a Fourier might be worse than a vintage English roadster - except maybe in the rain
Fourier Amplifiers What Is The History and How Reliable
Happen to be considering a pair of Fourier Panthere amplifiers and am wondering what the history is on them. Supposedly these are some of the last production models and are more reliable than previous versions.
I have never been an OTL owner and would use them with a pair of JBL 4365 speakers. I know the earlier version of OTL amps such as the Futterman were not the most reliable of designs, and they tended to fail catastrophically. Or at least that is what I had heard of.
How reliable are the Fourier? I understand the company is out of production, how would one get them serviced?
I see they use a closed case and forced air fan, what are ventilation requirements?
Are they worth spending money on? Or is it more akin to own a vintage English roadster or Italian sportscar?
