Office system

Bryan, I have an all vintage system that I love. I know it wouldn't be everyones cup o tea. I have a pair of refurbished McIntosh MC40 tube monoblocks and a pair of Altec 604-8G speakers (model 17's). Think BIG. I think it truly sounds amazing for very little money. Trust me, people will notice it when they first walk in the door. If that is what you are after, along with excellent sound. With a little patience, they should be able to be found for right around your budget. And the speakers don't have a foam surround to worry about replacing. Rock, jazz, vocals, folk, it seems to do them all exceptionally well.

I know a great tech locally who HAD (I would have to check) a very nice pair of McIntosh MC40 tube monoblocks for $1000. That is with them serviced and freshened up to spec. He is a great guy. He doens't sell online, actually I don't think he gets online hardly at all. But he is truly an exceptional tech and has done electronics as a business for 30 years. I bought a pair of MC40's from him last year and I am very very pleased. He has alot of vintage gear that he just sits on waiting for someone to ask him for it. If interested, feel free to email me and I will give him a call and email you back with his phone # if he still has them. He had them about 2 weeks ago, so I would imagine he still has them.
