I cant find anything as far as the efficiency of the speakers
but I ended up purchasing them. They were reasonably priced with a very liberal return policy so I decided they were worth a shot. Most reviews were positiveas for the amplifier,
Don't tube amps use wattage more efficiently?
Is buying a used tube amp worth it or would I be just as well off with a new solid state receiver with more power for about the same price?
Is tube amplifier upkeep expensive?
the ad describes it as JUST SERVICED, WHERE 8 CAPACITORS AND TWO RESISTORS WERE REPLACED AND SWITCHES AND POTS WERE CLEANED...
asking price is $279.00
This stereo will almost exclusively be used for playing vinyl, with the occasional ipod listen along with the audio output from a projector.I'm a college student with little money and a turntable hooked up to a pair of computer speakers.. so I'm not looking for high quality equipment at this stage of my life, more of a 'thrift store' upgrade that sounds decent and I wouldn't mind if it got beer spilled on it or something.
