| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... Dennis Brain - virtuoso British horn player who likewise passed away untimely! | |
| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... Clifford Brown - great mid-fifties Jazz trumpet player who died way too young in a car crash! | |
| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... The late Terry Kath! Who played on the first five Chicago records and impressed Jimi Hendrix! Sadly now long gone! | |
| Amber, anyone? If I had more space I could sub the Ambers in place of the RGR 4 preamp and Son of Ampzilla presently driving the Time Windows. Alas ... | |
| Amber, anyone? I have a pair of Ambers: the original preamp and the Series 70 amp. I purchased them three years ago from different EBay sellers. They remain awaiting installation (lack of space!) at my place. The Audio Critic liked the amp. The price was right f... | |
| JBL S3900 and S4700....possibly audiophile or not? Go for the 3900 - and save lots of moola compared to the Wilson's! | |
| Help needed, speaker cable - must R & L be the same length? +1 mijostyn! Though I think that 8 ga is overkill! | |

| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers +1 lancelock! I have a pair of KLH Nines (in use since 1992!). And also two pairs of Quad 57's (for the past three years). | |

| Affordable SET's with 211 or 300B tubes, (2000 dolllars maximum) PSE with a pair of 300B's will work. About 14 watts at 1+ per cent distortion. | |
| Full Range Drivers and SET's, why is a classic combo? I own three SE tube amps: a 2A3, a 45 and a 6BG6. The best speakers in my collection for them are the venerable. Klipsch Heresy Mk1's (99 db sensitivity). | |
| Full Range Drivers and SET's, why is a classic combo? A good single-driver speaker for low-watt SE amps is an Altec 755. I had a pair. Put it in a one-cubic foot box and it will work from 60 hz to 12k hz with fairly flat response and enough sensitivity! Add a subwoofer for the bottom two octaves. | |
| Full Range Drivers and SET's, why is a classic combo? The SE 300B can do about 7 watts at 1+ per cent distortion. The 211 and similar transmitter tubes can do about 15 watts SE. That is about a 3 db difference in drive capability for a whole lot more cost and complexity! |
