The Hersey"s are 1985 by serial number . 

I have had them for about 1.5 years.

i have not open the back yet to check drivers models.  They where one owner he said they were MK 1

 

I can run amps independently or all 3 at the same time.

the input source is the DAC  which goes to the EQ.8  then the amps are Daisy chained use RCA Leads that have a Y connector at the terminator end.

 

So the amps I found those for $450  the 1st one delevoped a hum . at 6 months I had the Amazon warrenty . they sent me a replacement amp .

i asked for a voucher to return the bad amp.

Amazon could not find Company that shipped it to me.

They told me to Keep it.

I did not have anything to lose so opened it up.

and found 3 bad soldier joints.

 

9 months later the company released a amp with bias adjustments.

so note if you look into Tube amps . You want Bias adjustments. You will want a solid state amp and speaker with a sub out.

tube amps. you will want a DAC  you will want a Equalizer there are no tonal controls on tube amps.

if you and decent bass response you will have go with Mactosh or add a solid state support system.

it has been a learn journey getting my system were I want it.

I don't want a SS amp

I don't want an equalizer

I don't want Mactosh (sic)

And I don't want to run three pairs of speakers at once.

 

 

YMMV..........
