Oh well such a high contingent of card carry Audiosaurus here.

I started my Stereo in late 60's , bought my first used amp, a Quad 22 and II.
Back then I had no comparision of they were almost the best. Until 12 yrs later I had an opportunity to buy another old pair of Quads again, then I start to appreciate the old tubes.
Most recent i got a Heathkit int amp, it sound very sweet.

Also had my share of high powered amps in between, the harshes would be Phase Linear 400, is like hitting Iron. Mac with Auto-transformer were the most mellow of any trans amp.

Just fitted a pair of low power 15" spk into a floor tom. It cleared the 15 diam, a friend cut the wood mount for me. Need more power and a good crossover to thoroughly test it. I found one spk with reverse phasing porduce a little bit more bass.
