Mwp7373. I sold those speakers at a high end store about the time you describe. I remember also that they would play incredibly loud for their size. We used an Audio Research tube preamp and BGW amps (a commercial transistor amp), with the Transcriptor turntable and Ortofon cartridge. Really a pretty amazing set up for 27 years ago. In response to the subject of this posting, my favorite speaker is the Soundlab Ultimate One. In response to others who post comments about the Vandersteen, I agree completely! The 2C is one of the best speakers ever made considering price. One of my audio group owns the Vandersteen 5, and I used Vandersteen 4A's just before switching to Soundlab. I have owned Soundlab now for 11 years, a new record for me as to sticking with one product with complete satisfaction.
