RE: Is a HK TA-230 worth the cost of restoring

Is this the fellow who owns Altec Valencias? If so, he really hasn't heard what those speakers can do, until they are matched with tubed electronics. Over damping is almost certain, when SS power amplification is used.

Ordinarily, I'd tell the man to "flip" the H/K. However, ideal speakers already on hand make investing in the "hollow state" receiver an attractive proposition. He'll have to put more than $300 in to get a true refurbishment, but system synergy rates, highly, to work in his favor.
