jimjimbo Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 SOLD I am the third owner, and since I purchased approx. 3 years ago, it has very few hours on it. I have acquired far too much gear and it's time to let it go. The person I received it from had a restoration done by a gentleman of the name Alan LaBorne. This was a complete restore of all boards, caps, main filter caps, total cleaning of all switches and pots, and refinish of the walnut case. Output transistors are matching. Custom stainless steel end caps were installed. This unit sounds fantastic and the build quality is second to none. This will easily drive two pairs of speakers at the same time, and has connections for 3 pair. $1250 plus shipping. Located in NW Indiana. Please PM with questions or interest. Thanks. Specs: Power output: 160 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo) Frequency response: 10Hz to 50kHz Total harmonic distortion: 0.1% Damping factor: 30 Input sensitivity: 6.5mV (mic), 2.5mV (MM), 150mV (DIN), 150mV (line) Signal to noise ratio: 75dB (MM), 90dB (line) Output: 150mV (line), 30mV (DIN), 1V (Pre out) Speaker load impedance: 4Ω (minimum) Dimensions: 556 x 186.5 x 464.5mm Weight: 29.2kg 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Thank you all for the compliments. It's a beauty. It has such clean power that driving a pair of LSI splits and a pair of HIPs is a truly fantastic experience....Turn the volume past 4 and you can't hear yourself think......

ARjetman Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Wow! That is beautiful. I am running a SX-1050 right now with a set of Chorus IIs. Sounds incredible as well and volume past 4 will hurt you. Good luck to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These seem to have a soft hue to them.... kind of like some glamour shots some studios do for portraits. Thanks Yes, thanks! I run a "Glamour Shots Studio for Vintage Audio Equipment and Vacuum Tubes" out of the walk-in freezer in my basement, so it's always a bit foggy in there.... Reducing 5-12MP photos down to a size which is acceptable to upload to this site obviously causes a significant loss in resolution. Also, the extreme close-up nature of some of these photos causes surfaces that are beyond the specific point of focus to be slightly blurred. If you are seriously interested in this unit, please PM me and I will send you the high resolution photos. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorjen Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Gorgeous, just gorgeous! Great piece of gear. GLWS. I sold quite a few of these when I was in the business back in the day. Our Klipsch Rep. was also our Pioneer Rep. in Nor-Cal. I had the Spec 1 & Spec 2 myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARjetman Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 It's a bit difficult to tell from the photos but, are the lights original incandescent or LEDs? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know, but considering the amount of work, time and money that went into this unit, I would have to guess they would be LED. I really don't want to remove the faceplate panel and glass just to check that. Hope that's OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
