It was TAS review that got me fired up in the first place. The guy even was using a CJ amplifier for the review. I also had a CJ amp at the time, but an MV 50 , not the larger model he had. At 91 db efficiency, I thought I'd be good to go. Complete bust. I think the impedance curve may not have been that friendly for one thing. Certainly may have been better suited for solid state amplification. In the end, maybe just a system compatibility issue, but Olsher had no luck either. Can't remember what amps he was using though. Water over the dam now.
