Gale 401's

Hi there,

I've had the good fortune on inheriting these speakers, though, without an amp.

My dad always said they need "power power power", but looking on other forums, people talk about sold state amps, which I know nothing about, and my dad sure didn't have one of those.

  • What's the difference between solid state and your run of the mill amp from Richersounds? 
  • Could a Cambridge Audio AXR85 power these enough to truly appreciate them?
  • or do I need to invest in something more specialist? 

Thanks,
C

The Gale is a speaker that can sound great when paired with a powerful SS amp. Some on this thread have not heard the speaker or heard it with an amp that was not a suitable match. They may need some restoration to perform at their best, and you may want to add subwoofers for low end extension
 
Get the right amp and enjoy!
