| What are electrolytic caps? My Spica TC-50's are about 15 yrs old and have no problem whatsoever with the crossovers. The tweeter on one did 'head south' and I replaced both with a set from Madisound. | |
| no-budget preamp? Some comments on your system: don't get rid of the Spica's, they have drawbacks but can really sing, esp. with the tube amp you have (I imagine). Replace the connectors and internal wire with cardas. I have a pair and got best results with Cardas ... | |
| BGW Amps? These were popular around 1972-1976 or so. I have never heard them. I remember them as being advertised as the theatre amplifiers used for the sub-sonics in the movie "Earthquake" | |
| I need to get rid of my JBL 4311s don't I? I have two pairs of 70's JBL's I use just for fun: L-166 Horizons, and a pair of huge L-200's. Why not keep the JBL's for when you want to crank up some rock and roll and also look into a pair of very revealing timbre-correct huge soundstage minim... | |

| Spica TC-50 Owners What amp do you like w/ TC-50? I've owned two pairs of TC-50's and am a fan.. I had used a Forte 1a until it blew one channel.. so a 4a would work too.. They sounded best when hooked up to a tube amp, can't remember which one, possibly a quicksilver (this was at a dealer some y... | |
