I enjoyed reading his gear reviews in the old Audio magazine. RIP BHK!  
Pure Sound A10 or Solid-state of similar price? My experience of the A10
The Pure Sound has a high output impedance - like most tube amps. Something like 2 or more ohms! This makes the amp badly speaker dependant and problematic to match with. Changing the tubes will do nothing to fix this! Plus the low power means eas...

BTW I found the JBL 640's at my local Goodwill for $48!   
Pure Sound A10 or Solid-state of similar price? My experience of the A10
I remarked to my cousin after listening to DSOTM via the JBL 640's/JVC RS-33 that "It was among the best sounds of that Pink Floyd recording I've ever heard!" I was trying to get him to buy the 640's. I stupidly sold them cheap ($200) to another f...

I have the JVC AX-01 in my amp collection. Only about 30wpc I guess. The circuit design is a scaled-down version of the JVC Super A amp ($1200). Also used in the JVC RS-33 receiver. I had that one in use too! I remember playing DSOTM (CD) with the... 
Do these look similar?
I’d bet good money that the internals are identical! Wilson ain't going to build plate amps when they can buy them from China for less than $150!

Sherlock Holmes where are you?  
Do these look similar?
Back in '93 Theta put intact $300 DVD players into cases and sold them as $1200 high-end transports! And the audiophools at TAS loved them!  
Those that upgraded from Tekton
Ohm Walsh's. 3-D room-filling sound!  
Moon AKA Simaudio announces new line of speakers.
YAWN!  
Cornwall IV – tube (amp) choice
Dennis Had (Cary Audio) makes and sells some nice single-end 6L6-type amps under the Inspire name. Considering the high sensitivity of the Cornwall's the 6wpc of the Inspire amp would be a good match!  
Cornwall IV – tube (amp) choice
Will Vincent (autospec) has some nicely restored/modded Dynaco ST70 tube amps available here on Agon for $1600. A better value than any Primaluna!  
Vintage JBL C40 placement question
Upright is better!  
Large room with low budget for speakers
JBL 4367! As shown on the cover of Stereophile. $16500  
The past meets the future
I see no end to the interest in collecting/playback of LPs. I bought a bunch on eBay this weekend - including a 70's German Atlantic Led Zeppelin I ($23.50). Today's new artists want their music released on LP. Pressing plants have backlogs of ord...
