RE: Because Marantz 9.....

Koot:

It did cross my mind, but I think I was trying to re-live my youth more than the handling propencities of the Klipsch's. The irony of it all is that while doing some guitar related business, I happened upon a 1974 BGW 500D power amp. This particular model was used in about 1000 movie theaters to get the walls rattling and shaking for the movie Earthquake.

It is rated at 250wpc at 8ohm's and over 400 in 4ohm. I will audition it tomorrow and see if it is stark as the Bryston 4B sst was with my 1.6's.

The early BGW amps were well made and designed, not like the crap that followed and was the main stay of just about every Disco out there in the mid/late 70's and 80's.

I don't think it will replace the Marantz 9's as they drive the 2.5's just fine, thank you.
