My B&W DM 14's are 38. My 803 Series II are 22. My Acoustats are 33. My Audire amps are (Forte) 38 and 22; and 35? (Parlando). My two turntables are 40 (DD) and 35 (Bele) with 3040 year old arms from Grace, Formul 4, and Signet. My tuners are 40, 40, 40, (Kenwood 1979) and 22 (B&K). My subs cabinets are 25 with newer, Peerless drivers at about 15+, plus some others with older drivers from 1970's DM16's. My Audire preamps, Diffet 2, 3, and 3, plus POCO head amp, are 30+, 38, and 20+. My CD player is the newest at 10. The only thing needing repair is two caps on a preamp power supply, and Stereo needles.
Buy good stuff, and it lasts. No, I have not just sat back. I have owned to audition Classe with much more power, NAD, Mark Levinson, Adcom, Sumo, GAS, and a lot more Classe. Only JC labeled (John Curl) Mark Levinson was good enough, with Classe being at least very interesting, but I kept all Audire electronics.
I listened to Dizzy's All Star while typing this. Now for some Yo Yo! Then, maybe Violent Femmes or Portugal. TM.
