First off,not only would I NOT do business with this dealer,I would make it CRYSTAL CLEAR to them that I was going to make sure their name & poor customer service was going to be made famous via the internet!
Second,I have demo'd the TT,Inpol Remix Mk.II & owned the Classic Remix Mk.II..Speaker choice with the TT & Inpol Remix Mk.II was critical,neither of them liked speakers that dropped much below 6 ohms & really struggled with speakers that maintained 4 ohms & dropped slightly lower..
Here is a quote from Stereophile on your speakers:
"On the face of things, the Founder 120H would appear to be a relatively easy load for the partnering amplifier. However, the electrical phase angle (dotted trace) is high in a few regions and the effective resistance (EPDR, footnote 2) lies below 3 ohms over much of the audioband. The minimum EPDR is 1.5 ohms between 360Hz and 410Hz. The Founder 120H will work best with amplifiers that don't have problems driving low impedances, though the speaker's high sensitivity will reduce its need for current".....
I would say based on this the TT is a NO GO for your speakers...
Pathos TT need advice
Hello All. Does anyone own or is familiar with the Pathos TT?
I have an opportunity to buy a 2024 lightly used one for about 1/2 price through a local dealer. Problem is that they have a no return policy on used gear and they are not willing to hook it up for a listen. It would be a leap of faith for me. Im in the market for an integrated tube amp and Pathos is on my short list. The TT new is about 2k above my budget so it's very tempting to buy used. I'd be using it with my Paradigm Founders 120H's which are 95db sensitive with powered woofers. Any thoughts?
