I'm saying that with average power output amps of the time they sound distinctly average. It took a 100wpc HK Citation beast to wake mine up... And yes I blew both B200's on my IMF's using itOriginally Posted by walpurgis
What are you saying?I'm pretty sure that if you put a genuine 100 watts through a pair they'd 'fry' in short order!!
(and didn't the B200 in the TLS50 have a 30 watt rating?)

Actually about thirty years ago I bought a new (ex demo) Legend P300 MosFET power amp which turned out over 200 rather nice sounding watts and I used to drive all sorts of low wattage high sensitivity speakers to high levels with it without blowing anything (16 ohm 8 watt Lowther Acoustas for instance). Tell a lie. I did burn out a pair of loose, crummy little Whitely Stentorian HF812 5 watt units I was trying out (the HF1016s I had were far better and the HF1216 better still). I wonder if anybody here remembers those or for that matter the contemporary Baker speakers, they were OK.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Belated report back on this.Well I won it. Cost me a whole £23.29 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1415197459...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I'll pick it up as soon as poss. It's a JVC AX-A441. Very little info on the net. I gather its 70 watts @ 8 ohms.
This is more or less all I could find: http://translate.google.co.uk/transl...tm&prev=search
It looks decent, just hope it sounds decent. It was cheap enough.
I have to say it sounds bloody good. Very transparent and clean. Lots of grip too, seems to have bags of grunt. Rather chuffed actually.

Report it to Ebay Dan, save someone buying a duffer.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
