  2. Wow, I never knew they made an HIP-2. I wonder if those specs are correct? I love the original HIP's, by far my favorite sounding "Heresy" style speaker.

     

    I think I found the webpage you pulled the specs from. With the grill cover removed they look like an early version of the KP-250 with I'm guessing a k-79 tweeter and k-53 mid-horn. Good luck with the sale!

    From what I can tell the specs are correct. Happy to confirm the model numbers for the drivers if anyone is interested.

     

    These speakers were made in AR, USA and have the signed inspection labels.

  4. Yes, this is a great sleeper amplifier. The brand is well known in Europe and manufactured by a subsidiary of the Mclaren Group that produces championship winning Formula One race cars. Quite a pedigree

    These amps actually measure a lot higher than the published 100W spec. In reality they're able to achieve 156/244/270 Watt continuous power at 8/4/2 Ohm which is more than enough to drive any speaker.

  5. Highly acclaimed Tag Mclaren 5-channel monoblock amplifier for sale. The F3 Series was one of the last versions to be produced, dating from 2003/4.

    The amplifier is in excellent condition and includes the original remote control plus a copy of the owners manual. Sold for $5000 new.

    The amplifier will ship ground service in the original factory box. Email me with any questions.

    Asking $995 plus shipping, Local pickup OK in Dallas TX.

  7. I'm setting up a new HT soon with three KL-650THX speakers up front. I'm currently powering my existing speakers with Tag Mclaren 5x100 multichannel amp. I feel this may not be ideal for the 650's and was wondering what people recommend. An audiophile friend recommends tubes and am inclined to try them. If I decide to try tubes what is a cost effective tube power amp that works well with the Ultra II's?

    Thanks
