Hi John, I just feel better keeping it. It is special to me because of you, John, and my custom stand. I ran the big A7 system, the Edgarhorns, the Stromberg Carlsons, and Omega Super 3R. I can honestly say that the amp brought out the good in every system. It seems that it fostered what ever special aspect of each system. My favorite so far are the Stromberg Carlsons in the BR corner cabs built for a church. Cheers.

I agree that you have to enjoy yourself in life today. You can't live in the future.How do those Edgarhorns sound? With the drivers? Did you sell them?
I have a pair of Klipsch K-horns base bins with Edgar horns and an Altec compression driver. The Edgar horns sound real good.
Some 12 year old kid came along using my computer and blasting hip-hop and stuff like that blew out my Super 3's with a 45 amp! I guess I need to replace the drivers.
That's why I got the Lowthers back on the desktop.
Stromberg-Carlsons? I'm not familar with them? Are they a big vintage speakers?
Sorry to here about your super 3s. They are a great computer speaker. The Stromberg Carlsons were only made for a short period of time and, I think, sound better than any other coax I've heard. I found them at a flee market for $40.00 for the pair. The problem I had with the Edgarhorns, was that my midhorn with the Altec 288C were so much more efficient than my tweeters and bass horns. I sold it all off yesterday, but when I have the money I will build up another set using an Merchant active crossover and three amps.....one for highs, one for mids, and one for woof. Cheers. P.S. sorry if I don't sound so cooherent, but I am taking Lortab and had a couple beers.
They look real nice. Maybe I can land a pair myself.I got some really good JBL vintage speakers myself. I paind 200 a pair but they went for like 2600 on E-bay. I haven't done any significany comparisons with other speakers yet.
Don't worry, I'm plastered myself. :) I'm taking a break.
Which JBLs? The first piece of audio equipment I bought was four JBL L26 and a Sansui amp and Sansui reciever. I ordered it while I was in the Navy from the Navy store. All six peices retailed for a little under $1000.00 but through the PX I got it all for a little over $400.00 That system really rocked.

I haven't had a chance yet to do any serious comparisons yet with them, but they might have alot of potential. I'be been using a 300b with them.
The C34 sound great. I like the JBL sound if they use a midrange horn. The non-horn midrange speakers really lack in the midrange. Cheers.
