In the next few days I will be inheriting a Drake R8 B in near mint conditon with the box owners manual,etc! I have heard many good things about this reciever and was wondering if anyone here has ever had the chance to use 1 of these or maybe even owns a Drake R8 B? I have read on the Internet that you can hook up an external speaker to this Reciever and that it is highly recomended that you either hook up an external speaker or use a good set of headphones.I was asuming that maybe I could hook up my vintage Superscope A-235 Amp to improve the overall sound of the Drake.I was going to use my Fisher XP 55 B speakers which sound excellent with that amp.I also thought that maybe I should try it first with the built in speaker and then try it with 1 of my Fisher XP 55 B speakers,etc!Again any thoughts or ideals would be great!As for an antenna I will be just using a peice of wire that I plan to run around the room,as I live in an Apartment building and the Landlord will not allow an outside Antenna!Other suggestions for an indoor antenna would be great as well.Brian
