Fair enough, I will take you at your word. Still wondering if I can get your comments regarding your definition of linearity? Are we talking about %IM? %THD (with further detail regarding odd order vs even order and the % of each)? Transfer function? Something else? I am sincerely trying to understand the parameters you used when making your comments regarding "linear amplifiers". Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 @Fish it’s usually a good idea to get a vintage piece checked out by a good tech. As for the capacitors, I was serious about their useful service life. Resistors are more robust, but will drift out of spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine even after 2 decades those parts would be meeting original spec. This set is from 73/74, about 45 years, hard to believe. I'm not in an area in Cornfield County that's got a lot of "techs" I would trust (maybe if Jr. Samples were still alive) I have seen occasionally a guy in OHIO on craigslist, East of Cinci I think maybe 50 miles ?? He ads he restores amps etc....pretty far without knowing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Fish, i was just talking about you today. forum member was here and he said what are those. i said those are 2 of Fish's RSW-15's in cherry. he didn't understand sorry for the thread crapping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hi Russ, Very happy the 15's found such a great home with you. I'm pretty sure thread crapping is not possible on this thread...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakeydeal Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 C'mon guys, step it up. I was hoping we'd break the 100 page mark by the end of the month. But you're going to have to do better than this......... Shakey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's got lots of power (DB wise) and is crazy heavy. So I'm thinkin' is this the original sound, or could it be even better with new caps etc..? I used to have a mint condition QA-7000 that matched up to that exactly. I gave it away years ago, never thinking it would ever rise in value again. Had the four small quad VU meters across the face.

And of course, the mode switch and tone controls speak to my heart How are the switches and knobs? ..Any scratchiness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing this sat many years unused, it looks anyway. The control over freq. etc.. is pretty good too, easy to dial in great sound in three different rooms.

I thought maybe it was worth a few hundred when I bought it. A guy buying some speakers offered me $800 without even turning it on. I posted here a few years back on some Rogers ls34 or something speakers I bought at a flea market for 5 bucks. I sold them for $2000 on ebay. They were maybe 6 in wide, 10 in tall, 4 inch woofer ??? go figure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very efficient but supposed to be well balanced. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Thanks Bruce, you're right, they were not very eff. but sounded big for their size. I was pretty amazed at the sound for really small speakers. The word balanced actually is a good description.
