Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

RE: Yep

I found it to be a step up both cosmetically and sonically - especially in terms of imaging. For once, the tall line source provided a lifelike size. Despite the tube OTL concept, the servo amps didn't offer the resolution of the Stasis.

I used subs for a while with mine, but found that they were unnecessary when you put enough power behind them. 500 watt VTL monoblocks did the trick. :)

I kept them for 21 years with a couple of mods: replaced internal wiring (Monster had oxidized pretty badly), bypassed signal fuse and resocked using fine spandex. Now I have what will be my last speaker. The U-1PX is a better performer in every respect if not a bit finicky.
