Glad to liven things up around here. All in good fun, of course.
I stand by the claim that my LC-1A's sound better than my mother's Magnavox console. Perhaps your mother bought a more extravagant console.
Unless refurbished with the correct RCA parts, you're not hearing what Olson intended, nor what the speaker is capable of.
LC-1A's have no place in an A-7 cabinet. Can't see how that would even be fun.
Your chosen amplification should be suitable, though I can't see why anyone would spend so much for hype.
Modern Lowthers don't hold a candle to well preserved vintage (1950's-1960's) units. I've sold off all my modern production Lowthers in favor of 'proper' older ones. Silver VC's only slow them down.
No one listens to 755A/OB in a cathedral. Totally unsuitable for large rooms/high volume.
I am not an offended RCA owner, BTW. Not so thin skinned. I have LC-1A's and enjoy them, but I have many speakers here, each with their virtues.
No speaker, and no listener, is perfect. Just trying to have some fun.
'best Polish beer'?
