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

Decades and decades ago I saw them reviewed in a audio mag. My local dealer had them. I was so excited to hear them as their design perfectly fit my home decore.

The salesman, many might know, was Steve Zipser. He took the time to let me listen, then switched to a pair of Ed Long Time Alignment speakers, which I purchased. He and I became fast friends. I even spoke at his wedding to GiGi

Yes to high power SS, it would be awesome to try the Voyager GaN amp. Mine could be here tomorrow or Saturday
