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

I have a pair of fully refurbished GS401A speakers, here are my thoughts on them:

If you live in the UK, David Smith at www.vintagegale.com is an invaluable source  of help if you want to have your speakers refurbished, a wonderful guy to work with. These speakers may be +40 years old, but, after refurbishment they will give a lot of very expensive speakers a run for their money. Plus, they look stunningly beautiful IMHO.
