What's your stereo? Whatcha got?

It's a thing of beauty IMHO (if you like big knobs). It's bigger and more powerful than I need, but my son wouldn't stand for my idea of selling it and replacing it with a modern integrated amp.

As far as I ever made it up the Sansui food chain was a 890 DB, unless you include my 1000A.

I've always had a fondness for Sansui...other than their speakers.

I had a G-9K for awhile, big heavy beast. Through out my back moving it around. A good friend spied it then wanted it real bad, so it moved on.

But do have a G-8K that one of my sons said had better never get sold! More power then I will ever use. One of the best tuners on the planet IMO!

Your rating of this tuner?

Thanks!

The bedroom HT is a Marantz BPC 5:1 SR780 with a 4pack of Original Smaller Advents flyin' around the room (green and orange tweets) No need for sub with these speakers. Someday they'll get the Zilchlab EWave mods! Gotta use those badges that dumptruck conjured up!!

Damn Blue, that amp is enough to yield a nice hernia. Vandersteens are nice. I met Richard several times during the early development of the Vandersteen 2s back in 1979. He's an interesting individual. I used to frequent an audio store in Fresno California where he'd periodically show up to test his speakers. IIRC the amps were Audio Research and a Revox RTR supplied the source. I spent many an afternoon at that audio store listening to The Wall on stuff I couldn't afford.

How do you like that Dayton Sub? Did you buy the kit or the assembled version?

I like it a lot. Very tuneful (it's not a one-note-wonder thumpbox). I bought it off CL already assembled for $200. The previous owner had bought it as a kit. From what I understand, it's dead simple to assemble.

Have the same sub, and you're right...even I could assemble it.

Only problem I've had was the plate amp died, not too sure it was ever 100% in the 1st place.

Replaced it with the OEM amp, thought about getting the one with the 3DB boost and I'm glad I didn't. It now fills the lower end of the Hornshoppes in nicely and isn't boomy at all.

Hmmmm.........Y'all got me thinkin'. Cuz the mains I'm building have an Fs tuned to 46hz. I will need a sub to push it down lower..........

Get a pair of Threes, they'll do 28hz! according to Richard Vandersteen. It's a awe inspiring experience putting a 30hz test tone, vertical biamped GFA555s(one for each speaker) and turning it up to about 30%, pictures jump off the wall, beer bottles start walking across the coffee table and the wife starts screaming earthquake, earthquake! In no uncertain terms, Patty(wife) told me what would happen if I pulled that stunt again. She would sell them for peanuts at the divorce liquidation audio sale....
