SilverSport Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) I just got back from my sister's...she is getting things ready to move into her new apartment and thought she might get better use in her 2 channel listening if she had a remote... I might be able to accommodate her with a Panasonic XR-25 digital receiver that was all the rage some years back...light weight and has a remote if I recall correctly (I haven't used it in some time)... She said the deal only works if I take back what she has been using for the past 8 plus years... A McIntosh MA6200 that I bought from Rowe Audio Photo Video back when (through a hook up with my buddy Dodger - remember him???) and next went next to Audio Classics for repair to like new and then on to me... Seems I never made the love connection with Klipsch and McIntosh back then (I know...horrors ) so it moved on to her... Now it's back with me and after a little dusting it is running Dire Straights on a Cambridge Audio Azur 640cV1 and through my Crites upgraded Klipsch Quartets...and it sounds pretty darn nice this time 'round... Did I do all right in the trade back department???... Bill Edited April 24, 2016 by silversport 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverSport Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) ...she wanted "the heavy thing" replaced with something lighter weight for moving around... Bill Edited April 24, 2016 by silversport 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Those Panasonics are nice and they definitely come with a remote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Morbius Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) For Mcintosh, it would be worth it to get off my butt to adjust the volume………………….just saying. Edited April 24, 2016 by Dr Morbius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 585 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Dodger was or is from Rochester I take it. Good folks at Rowe. I've bought some used Mac gear there myself and my Belles as well. I hope the connection clicks for you this time around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
