Thanks to all who welcomed me in, especially the vintage realistic guys. I have a STA 64 (putting out 22 watts rms) with the beautiful silver dial and face.I bought it in 1975. Currently one channel is out but I know of a shop who can fix it. So I can hardly wait to hear it again. The STA 47 is very nice. That one was a classic find at GW. My pride and joy though is a Marantz 2245. What a doll! I'm running AR 1's but only the woofers are selected. They are custom tuned to put out up to 100 mhz. Linked with those are some I believe to be Harmon Kardon two ways that are running as midrange and high end. I have not often heard a warmer, sweet, sounding rig. well enough about my gear.
I just saw some EPI 100v speakers @ GW. When I pulled the grills I found the surrounds completely gone. What bothers me are the cone /voice coils. They had been pulled out of the paper cone. I relocated them back into the hole at about where they should be. I don't know if they will rattle if I refoam them. Price on them is $9.99. The dome tweeters are supposed to be excellent for highs anyway. So any oppinions out there?
