Giskard,

Nope on the above.

Your idea of using the original sales literature to promote the raffle is pretty good as I'd bet it is quite impressive.

John,

So you're telling me you speak "down under"?

(P.S. Please don't pull the plug so the aussie guy can continue to yada yada about his L100's.)

I think it's time to start the Grungy Amplifier Thread......see you all in Off topic.

And don't forget your worry beads, your Amcons, your QSC's and Sansui's.

[Ian Mackenzie]

You really Mean Trash of Few Amps..I know.

Obviously not.

John,

I have created a diversion so we can continue .....

"Control reference" to me means anything you want it to mean as long as every time you power it up, it does the same thing.

Trouble is, with those crappy L pads, the L-100s that I have had tend to sound different every time I listen.

John,

Ian's clever diversion worked and I am now over bashing amps in "off topic"

I used L100's for years. Still like them. They have their faults but you can work arround the driver balance and end up with a reasonably good FR curve where you listen. Those damn pots do suck and really should be upgraded. I had to wipe mine through about once every couple of months or they would actaully have a driver drop out and change level while you were listenning. Comparing to the newer stuff well I had 4412's for a while and they were much better but that's apple and oranges. As a matter of fact after living with the 4412's for about 3 months it was hard to go back and I was never happy with them afterwords. That whole experience drove me to try to upgrade them to 4312's and eventually got me to play with the big drivers.

I too used them for many years, mostly as "saw horses" while building custom loudspeaker systems for home installations. They worked perfectly fine in that role.

I've also used them in a pinch to keep a big block "rat" from rolling around in a pickup truck bed. The cast iron was able to "dig" into the oiled black walnut and form makeshift motor mounts for the ride to the machine shop.

Perhaps the best use I found for them though was using them to prop open sash windows, drivers facing out into the gently falling snow, and playing Halloween music at volume when Christmas Carolers came down the street.
