    Yes. I had the pre and a couple of power amps (can't recall model Nos.). I found them bland, particularly the pre. Moved on to a Quantum pre/power. So much better.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Yup. They are not a model I know. Presumably a forerunner to the Audiometric. I'm assuming these just have a simple twin cone driver. It sure ain't a Dual Concentric. They are only of curiosity or collection value.

    Yes they called em Modular series '101'/'103'/'104'/'105'..
    Later on there was a whole different series that was truly a Modular jobbie was the Nextel Zebra {componet amp} These came out in the early 80's..

    Im your man for Quantum Electronics Had '101'/'402'/ 2X205'.. Alser had '207DA' That Dual Active '207' was a great amp. You could power the '102' pre from the '207' or use the dedicated '402' PSU for the Pre...
