IIRC they then sold a tubed X-0, the EC-3/A for use with a Tympani 1-C (and EC-4 for use with a Tympani IIIA), both quite a while prior to the simple XO-1.

Back then ~40 years ago when this equipment was considered amongst the best, (and also when my hearing was a lot better) I owned a Tympani 1C, EC-3a, a pair of D-76As as well as Mr. Bongiorno's original Ampzilla having lots of fun alternating between the D-76As (bridged) and the Ampzilla driving the tops and bottoms of the Tympani

A friend had a III-A for which his Maggie dealer recommended a pair of Crown DC-300As and I recall spending many afternoons enjoying his rig (Decca arm/cartridge/SP-10TT.

At my age, if it plays loud enough while not setting off the smoke detectors almost anything is good. :-(
