By the way, have you tried the amp?
Yuri,
I sympathise with your remarks, unbelievable.
Who ever invented "Blinkers" made a fortune.
A search in these forums (and indeed the www) shows a number of well documented threads on connections (Speakon-which are now a CE standard) and balanced connectivity. That's one of the reasons why we save this information so everyone has access to useful information....mind you most are experts at refoaming a 2235 woofer....

No, I didn't try the amp Yuri.
Something tells me Ian that if I felt like looking anything up or obtaining the proper adapters I would have. I obviously wasn't inclined to do so. It's a real non-issue for me.
Great! Fantastic! Gorgeous!
I have no words...
Do not change your habits, you may get lost!
If it does not meet your standards, you just push it away, as a waste of time…
I think I will soon do the same, just pushing you away...
If you do not go to the mountain, the mountain will never come to you!
Wondeful.
Almost by convention all Pro amp manufacturers use Speakon connectors and XL balanced input. They would'nt be able to export otherwise. (basically to stop ignorant people potentially getting killed)
By way of explanation perhaps most or some forumites here use domestic hifi or own vintage pro audio equipment.
It only takes a few bucks in parts and about 20 minutes to wire up connectors so anyone can use them. I am surprise that was not resolved earlier and a connector kit shipped around with the amp. (I have such a kit so I can mix my pro aidio and domestic quickly and without fuss) .
No doubt this suggestion would assist other serious contenders of the PSS1200 amp.

Took me a 5 minute trip to my local music store. I already had the balanced cables for my M552/M553's. Those speakons are great!!!! Wish they came on consumer gear. What a nice no fuss no muss way to connect up to an amp. I can see why they are the standard on PRO gear. Leaps and bounds better than the 5 ways on my old Crowns.

I'm perplexed as to why there is more text after the "I have no words..." statement. You've gone on to dramatize the simple fact that -
1. I received an amp.
2. The amp did not integrate into my current environment.
3. I decided to send the amp on to the next person after who that next person was had been established.
Amazing what comes out of your mouth here. You other guys gonna give this a pass?
Yes, certainly, those Far Easterners cannot "understand", and thus they design things with no musical soul. That is probably why they are such rabid JBL fans in Japan; because they like music reproduction without soul. Such tripe, Yuri. Some difference in certain preferences musically, perhaps. No soul? Bullshit. (see the little guy with the flag?)
As for asking God the creator and not the saints, saints are apparently intercessory, so we lay people may not have to witness the power and glory ourselves. Nowadays, however, we are allowed to have a direct relationship with God, which leads me to believe that if He actually designed an amp, it would have both balanced Speakon and unbalanced RCA inputs, as God loves both the pro audio world and the unwashed Bose lovers.
And I have to think that the signal pathways in Gods own amp would, of course, be paved with real gold and He would not tolerate discount Circuit City pricing.
(Hmmm, what WOULD God's own speaker system be? Certainly not a Hartsfield replica with TAD components! Blasphemous! I'll bet His system has some totally kick-ass bass performance, no doubt. Hmmm....oh well, that needs to be in its own thread)
Speaking of going to the mountain, the mountain called humility is not coming to you, Yuri, you need to go visit it yourself.
I still can't get over that Far East thingie..........whew. Amazing. Imagine if someone had said such a thing about those enviable Europeans.
[I think I'm gettin' this now....]
You most assuredly are.[I think I'm gettin' this now....]
(Cool, now I can PM God and ask him why all the hot chicks in high school go out with the jocks..........always wondered about that one)
Please read first before answering and writing nonsense’s!
I spoke about Amp manufacturers, not about some great and enthusiast Japanese audiophiles!
I will be very honest and I will hurt you, as you deserve it:
JBL speakers sounds very bad with today’s amplifiers, no bass, no low mids, just mids and shiny high (just what Asiatic music sounds like; that is why Asian are found of such speakers). Have you ever wondered why TAD (Pionner) sounds so bad (no bass and no low mids)?
All “big” US amplifier makers, Crown the very first just manufacture garbage.
The only amp they designed and that worked very well was the DC300. Since that they never built any other sounding amp, and since they are under the Harman banner it is worst!
Same for Crest, Carver, BGW, QSC and others: they just make noise, they do not play music. When they demo their “amps” why do they play so loud? Just to impress you like the dog next-door shouting after you!
Because they are scared! Scared of the lack of quality, so they yell and the one who yells louder is the best … noisemaker!
To play good and powerful music you do not need thousand of watts! 10 Watts are enough to give you the kick all of you are looking for and never had!
More than several, down here, do not understand why JBL do not manufacture studio speakers as they did in the 70’?
Why? Just because the market is dead and no one wills to pay for it, you the very first.
Same for amps, the only thing you are looking for are second hand amps sold in Ebay for a bunch of coins! Who bought in the past 5 years a new amp and spend some money, real money (about 2 000$)?
Not much as reading your posts spending 500$ is too expensive!
About God (me) you are completely misunderstood!
How many amp manufacturers have you spoken with? If one needs an advice or any help out of what he (god) is manufacturing, juts ask him (god) and not the saints (ignorant of such a specific gear)!
About the mountain, once again you did not get the clue: if the gear you asked for does not match your wishes, you could move your ass just to try it and not keep it by your door!
If you were not asked to send it to some one else, the amp would still lay somewhere in your place!
That is why, if you are not happy, stay where you are and do not ask for something you do not understand.
If you were really involved and interested, you should know how the amp is made and what are his characteristics as it was posted months ago.
That is why, stay as a rock (mountain) and do not change your habits! No one will go to you (the mountain)…
Rock .. Mountain, you got it now?
Shiny … china, you got it too?
"I spoke about Amp manufacturers, not about some great and enthusiast Japanese audiophiles!"
I stand by my assertion; they understand soul.
"I will be very honest and I will hurt you, as you deserve it:"
I like pain as much as the next guy, but I'm not hurt. Really. I'm not.
"JBL speakers sounds very bad with today’s amplifiers, no bass, no low mids, just mids and shiny high (just what Asiatic music sounds like; that is why Asian are found of such speakers)."
Merely an opinion, and not a good one in my book, Yuri. I have heard them sound absolutely great with todays amplifiers, and I am just as qualified to make that judgment as you are.
"Who's got Yuri's amp?" The thread that lived in infamy. It would be a good title for a play, like "Waiting for Godot".
" Have you ever wondered why TAD (Pionner) sounds so bad (no bass and no low mids)?"
No. Honest to God (not you, Yuri), I never heard TAD but once, and it was okay.
"All “big” US amplifier makers, Crown the very first just manufacture garbage."
More opinion, but hey, okay.
"Same for Crest, Carver, BGW, QSC and others: they just make noise, they do not play music."
I suppose only yours "makes music": more tripe, Yuri.
It comes down to this, I know WTF I hear. I've heard amps that woulda/coulda/shoulda put yours to shame. You know what? They are no big deal either. Nice, yes.
"Because they are scared! Scared of the lack of quality, so they yell and the one who yells louder is the best … noisemaker!"
You are lowering yourself here, Yuri.
Yes, yes, I am sure that is it, they are scared as hell. I see them now, the trembling, scared amp designers. And you are sounding more delusional as the day goes on.
"To play good and powerful music you do not need thousand of watts! 10 Watts are enough to give you the kick all of you are looking for and never had!"
Oh, dang it, another cherised maxim shot to hell.
"More than several, down here, do not understand why JBL do not manufacture studio speakers as they did in the 70’?"
We've been through this, use the search button.
"Why? Just because the market is dead and no one wills to pay for it, you the very first."
Yes, me the very first, and the dead market.
"Same for amps, the only thing you are looking for are second hand amps sold in Ebay for a bunch of coins!"
My kingdom for a cheap, ebay amp!
" Who bought in the past 5 years a new amp and spend some money, real money (about 2 000$)?"
Lots of people, apparently.
"Not much as reading your posts spending 500$ is too expensive!"
I somehow missed that one. Huh?
"About God (me) you are completely misunderstood!"
Correct! I am God, not you. See new avatar.
"How many amp manufacturers have you spoken with?"
The whole company, or just the sales rep? Mmmm, maybe 10-15.
" If one needs an advice or any help out of what he (god) is manufacturing, juts ask him (god) and not the saints (ignorant of such a specific gear)!"
Yeah, yeah, I got that part.
"About the mountain, once again you did not get the clue: if the gear you asked for does not match your wishes, you could move your ass just to try it and not keep it by your door!"
Hmmm, I think you've got the wrong guy here. But that's okay, as I know you are a stickler for detail.
"If you were not asked to send it to some one else, the amp would still lay somewhere in your place!"
See above.
"That is why, if you are not happy, stay where you are and do not ask for something you do not understand."
Sounds like my wife!!!!!
"If you were really involved and interested, you should know how the amp is made and what are his characteristics as it was posted months ago."
The amp is a male!!!!!! Yikes! I don't verk wit da males well!!!
"That is why, stay as a rock (mountain) and do not change your habits! No one will go to you (the mountain)…
Rock .. Mountain, you got it now?"
Viagra??
"Shiny … china, you got it too?"
Clean plate??
I think I got it now. BTW, did you ever see the movie "Being There"? Loved that one. Thanks Yuri, been fun. Thread over. BZZZZZZZTT
I Specially have a problem with "Creator", and the rest of the
That is SO not true!
I was going to eBay it but Scott informed me that he had donated it to Don for his Project May thingie!
Alex, you are a true gent, but it is not his English that needs work, it is his sensibilities.
