| Then there were 2 a pair of mono 120 sold in 56 minutes the other day once posted on Audiogon. It was posted at 9:52pm and I got home at 10:50 and it was sold. | |
| Then there were 2 @gakerty thank you for that reminder. I will check the specs on each amp. | |
| Then there were 2 @atmasphere i estimate the efficiency at 90db-92db. There are 2 woofer in each cabinet. The woofers themselves are 90db. but with 2 in parallel it is higher but I dont have exact measurements of efficiency. speakers are 4 ohm. | |
| Then there were 2 @yogiboy yep spoke to mike, he has a new model called KT mono but he cant deliver due to parts shortages. V4 also toast. | |
| Then there were 2 @craig I own an RP7 so I know how accessible Mark and Nick are. Very good company to deal with. I find their stuff a little to much like solid state, i am getting used to it. I did demo the QS and a VTL in my system and it was very good. @elliot I... | |

| Tube Amplifier Sound Characteristics @atmasphere Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I love your statement that The last thing the industry wants is for the buyer to know what the amps sound like. They spend a lot of time trying to tell you that they don't sound like anything at a... | |
| Tube Amplifier Sound Characteristics @mozartfan my pre uses 12au7. Ive never used telefunkens in them. I used Baldwin black plate now. | |
