Re: Another set of secondhand speakers
Been doing a lot of research these last few days and a Tawainese maker - Usher appears to be very good. They 'copy' Scanspeak units and the cabinets and fittings are top notch. The CP, N and Dancer models have very good reputations. Leaning more to the CP models. The later d'appolito models appear to be more 'forward', the CP models more natural.
However most of the speakers I've considered need more powerful amps to give of their best than my hybrid amp delivers. It uses 4 x Toshiba mosfets as output each rated @ 125W output which only draw a max. of 12.5 W each - how easy would it be to double this?
The pre-amp section uses a combo of 3 tubes that I love the sound of - a 6F8G tung Sol RP and 2 x Russian 1578 coupled with the mosfet output - I really want to keep this set-up, it was end game when I first heard it.
