BOC, or Bigg of California, is obscure stuff. From the mid to late 50s, this West coast manufacturer made some great gear. Their speakers used Jensen drivers, as previously mentioned.
Their amps are all super sounders, when working, as were their fine preamps. In the late '50s,and into 1960, they made some stereo items that deserve mention. Their P3D stereo preamp is a sweetie. I have never heard of their stereo amps, but I do own a simplex stereo power amp by them. Using EL34s for 50 Watts out on one channel, the other channel is a phantom/transformer derived wizardry item.
Their mid '50s George Gott EL34 mono amps are superb. Bigg boasted that they used Chicago brand output trannies in all their amps.
Speakerwise, they did use Jensen designs and their own versions of Jensen magic; Great stuff; if we can find 'em...ENJOY !!!
