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

Sorry for your loss.

I’d follow owner’s/previous owners advice regarding the amp (within a reasonable budget for me) and enjoy them, especially if they reminded me of my dad.

Consider letting your motivations toward stereo gear and music evolve. You may find streaming music to your setup is all you want/need.

Above all, don’t be tortured by the damm stuff. It’s a stereo. You’re the master- it’s the slave. Do what you comfortably can afford to pay and spend time enjoying. Run your race, my friend.


Best-
