Rich/Stereofool,
I did assemble Hafler pre and power amps (1980) with help, but that was a long time ago and I'm really not interested in more 9 pin tubes, dual volume controls, or messing for about the same price as a Mapletree.
Rich, you're always welcomed to stop by to hear a unique speaker.
opnly bafld,
Current prices of SAS 10A is about twice what I want to spend.
And there's a couple of Modwright SWL 9.0 SE for sale (a bit out of my range, but I'm hot about them), a Audio by VanAlstine Trascendance Eight, Rouge Metis, and a Quicksilver line stage all on Agon. What do all think of those?
Nature Boy,
How pronounced is the EE pre-amp in terms of "tubiness"?
