in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 6, 2010 11:24[quote user="joeybo[quote user="joeyboygolf"] I always rated them very highly, even defending them against the Penta sheep. Especially so when driven by a QUAD 405 amplifier, as B&O did not have an amp to do them justice…

in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 17, 2009 15:41Tournedos, You give sound capacitor advice. I have used foil types almost exclusively for recapping speakers in the past. The sole exception being once using bipolar electrolytic in parallel to the woofers in my Klipsch …
