Just got some Chapmans

Sounds like a lip balm for cowboys. But no, they're gorgeous sounding 3-way speakers made in Washington state. Company went belly up. But I heard the T-7 about ten years ago. Was impressed with the sound then. Just picked up a pristine pair a couple days ago.
So, who's running Chapman's and what are you using for pre/amp?
I picked up a PS Audio PCA-2 preamp and have a PS Audio HCA-2 amp on the way. It'll be an interesting foray into the digital amp world.
Sadly, it's time to sell some of my beloved equipment. I'll be posting classfieds soon.

Hi Douglas,

I have not owned the T-7, but a friend of mine did. He used to drive them with a Cary 300B based amplifier and the matching Cary preamp. He was also able to run the speakers with the same amp with 2A3 tubes. You dont need high power with the T-7's. They sounded great with 300B and 2A3 tubes. Try a low powered SET amp. Bet you will enjoy your system.

Good luck.
