Btw Rich,

What do you mean by compatible speakers?

Btw Rich,

What do you mean by compatible speakers?

Sensitive, benign impedance, full range, passive crossover. My current speakers are active 2 way with a strong tonal personality. Not great for auditioning new amps. But the next speakers on my DIY list should be ideal for exploring my myriad amp fetishes.  :thumb:

edit:
The PM845 is now residing in my reference setup along with Pure Black 101 Pre. :)

Well, may be we'll have a gtg near you so you can hear for yourself.

Something to look forward to!  :D   I'm sure they sound excellent with the Trinitys.

Hey Hugh,

 Don't tell me about being a skinny dude that can't handle the cold. Remember, we hung out at RMAF! The older I get, the less I can deal with the cold as well and it's a nice cool 12 degrees outside right now and we should reach down to about 7 degrees tonight. :duh

 For poeple that will not be on the tour and want to hear the Melody gear and Hugh's speakers, maybe we can arrange for a time to have a gathering here where you can come up. Maybe if we all pitch in and buy Hugh a nice winter coat, he will show up as well and talk to everyone and answer questions.

Maybe with a good amount of alcoholic beverage available he could stay warm ......






...and deep discounts might be agreed to. :lol:

Yo Bill,

I have one advantage over you and that's I'm older so the cole would get to me quicker. :)

Well, I like the idea of visiting your area.

When will it get warmer? ;) :D

I can't drink like I used to Jack.

But, with a good bottle of red, I might just be persuaded enough to put on my winter boot. :)

And a hat and mittens.

And in Hugh's case, most likely the mittens that clip on so they can't be lost.   :rofl:

Hey guys, if there's anybody within a few hours of central ohio I'd love to do a gtg and show off some gear.  I just don't have much space in my small house.  I may even be convinced to travel to the northeast and save Hugh some frostbite if there's a gtg brewing there ;)

FWIW, the 18wpc AN211 powered the 4ohm, 90db sensitive Trinity's to more than adequate volume levels at RMAF.  So far, all the Melody gear I've used has played a bit beyond their numbers.

Oh, and somebody mentioned the heat from a pair of 70w PM845's - the MN845 monsters are 150w class A.  :shock:  Those of you in northern climates can stick it to the utility companies by just playing music all day long to heat your house.  :rofl:
