ahhhhh...

Its a nice stroll through memory lane with this stuff; well unless of course the amps sucked then it would be unpleasant:) Nice to see such diversity amongst us, keep 'em coming!!

Oh I forgot this one and Tireguy, you are too young to remember so don't laugh, Mom and Dad's Zenith Console "The quality goes in before the name goes on" bought from our next door neighbor who was a distribution salesman for Zenith.

It was a good, more than good it was wonderful, to me. My sister still has the solid maple cabinet that housed this sonic wonder of its day. Purchased in 1960.

Way back machine takes me to a pair of Phase Linear 400's driving 4 EPI mini-towers. Next stop was a pair of ESS transmission lines with RTR electrosatic tweeters bi-amped with ARC amps. Then onto Magnaplanar tympani 3a with the same ARC amps. Next was a combo with Arc D79 and SP10 pre. Then CJ power amps and pre,with 2 APT HOLMAN amps Dahlquist x-over driving custom subs with 3 10woofers in ea. Essence amp driving Essence 30 spkrs with same sub set up. Essence again driving Dunlavy SCIV's with Krell KSA150 on same sub set up. Harmonic Precision 75 watt driving Dunlavy scIV's and 2 Paradigm Servo 15's. And finally Harmonic Precision mono blocs are now my amps of choice...Tom
