Mixing eras

Gamehenge, 

is that a phish reference? Can we party when I come listen? 

I have had good success running 80s Nakamichi gear (CA5 and PA7) with KEF Meta R3 and a KC62 sub.  My room is large, so I’m hoping to add the newly released KC92 subwoofer at some point in the future.  You’re more than welcome to stop by for a listen if ever make it to eastern Virginia.  

Pass x25 is a small amp but musically excellent. Kef monitor LS50 meta very good speaker. You can’t go wrong on this combo.

think efficient speakers sensitivity 90db or more. you may change your amp in the future.

that will help with current and future amp, keeps cost/size/weight/heat down and increases placement options, remember remote line of sight. get down to more common, thus more competitive cost, and used: more availability.

efficient speakers, less needed power is the best way to try tubes in the future.

Currently listening to my 2023 Cornwall 4 with a 50 yo Sansui AU 9500 and it’s got me re thinking my high tech 8k integrated. I say mix away! 

Nevermind can see now!

Thanks everyone. Which Spendors? Is there a pic? Thanks!

Many moons ago I owned those Vandersteens. Spendors have a similar sound. This Spendor has a small footprint and you don’t need stands.

Yes no issue whatsoever with an older amp and no speakers and your Mcormack is a very capable amp.

Another vote for over thinking.

Over and over thinking.
