Thanks much, that's very cool to have. I've already talked to a couple guys who have repaired these for years (there's more than a few around the country it seems) so looks like that will actually be no problem...other than packing and shipping these bears properly and all.
For decades now I've done my home music listening through my studio setup(s) (sound designer/mixer for TV by trade); Tannoy DMT12's, ADAM S2A's, Genelec's etc.(and honestly I still like headphone listening a LOT). But my first audiophile experience, at around 9 or 10, was my first trip to a HiFi shop thanks to my older brother, visiting him in college.
I will always remember the salesman first playing some stuff through Bose 901's (no offense, but I thought my brother's Smaller Advents sounded better, if not as loud). But then he switched.
"And You And I" (Yes) started playing through Klipschorns. Holy hell, goosebumps! Played some Mannheim Steamroller and Renaissance through them too. Wow.
So I'm really looking forward to getting these big ugly bastards up and running hehee. Together with the Regency as a center channel it should make for a pretty nice home theater setup to go along with just music listening. I have nice concrete corners to put them in 😊
I could use putting some excitement back into my home listening experience.
Thanks all for the help 👍
