Describe your HIFI -system

[Lakanta]

Hi,
I was thinking to sell the following loudspeaker: Karlson enclosure with Fostex 15inch, Altec 811B/806A with N800D and Fostex FT 17 H for frequence above 15khz. Plus additional crossover to flat down the 1,5-3 khz peak of the 811B.
I get the enclosure from a closed movie theatre.
Then I connect the speaker once more and put a LP of Led Zeppelin. NOW I know what was missing on the Model 19: Impact. What a delivery of emotions and pleasure!
There is no way to sell something like that!

HI Peter,
Great equiment! I like the non-conventional combination.
The power amps are quite unusual. (Glockenklang, Lexikon)
You need a lot of place, for the two Studer A80, too. (I own a Studer A820)

I'm stoked..what cartridge do you run?

Ian

Clearaudio --- Gamma S in my case. Have had it for 7 years now with well over 3000 hours on it and it still passes all the tests... sounds great too! Use it with a Audio Note AN-S2 step-up into a Audio Note M2 preamp.

I've been one of the UK's devotees of the old JBL sound since I worked in the US about 40 years ago. There I had a pair of S-somethings with a 15" woofer and a horn. Absolutely awesome sound. I sold them before I returned to the UK..big mistake.

I presently have a pair of L150A ( bought in 1986) with a Sumo Polaris amplifier and Athena pre-amp with Mission Cyrus FM Tuner and CD player. About 2 years ago I had to replace the surrounds to the 12" drivers and the 12" PR ( at huge cost but what else could I do? Mrs.Barron says she'll bury me in the boxes and sell the units). The mid-range and tweeters seem to go on forever. While I was there, I applied thick bitumen pads to the majority of the interior of the cabinets...made them sound a lot faster. I'd already scrapped the level controls...they'd become very noisy.

But I have succumbed to the pleasures of the DVD, and have now installed my entire system, now PC based, into a rather nice piece of furniture from your US manufacturer 'Ethan Allen' ( in the British Traditional style...in harmony with our own furniture). You just can't get such quality from UK manufacturers.

The downside is that the speakers are up against the walls...and they've lost some of that slam and image depth that I enjoyed so much when they were in the middle of a long room. One can twiddle with the PC equaliser...but it's just not the same.
