JBL Paragons
I'm wondering why you had never heard them when it was your father who owned them. Did you live very far away from him? 
Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned??
Yes! Spendor SP100s. I think that my current speakers are superior dynamically and in a couple of other ways, but I think of speakers in the same way I do people; they all have personalities with good and bad aspects. The Spendors are just great i...

I'm surprised...I've made bloopers like that with my Mac 2105 over the years without any damage. I'll bet it's nothing too serious.

I've always wanted to hear those speakers. Have you listened to them yet? 
Vintage amps & power cords
noromance,Of course your attitude makes sense, but that isn't the way many people see it. Their admiration for a certain brand or specific component becomes perverted into a fear of making any change to it whatsoever lest it no longer be "original... 
Vintage amps & power cords
I rotate 3 power amps, and one of them is a McIntosh 2105 that I've had for many years. It needed work a few years ago, in fact, it was time to replace transistors (!). I took that opportunity to have the technician put in new input jacks, as well...
