Been sitting for 2 months, but just finished the basics. Now to listen!
Those look nice, how do they sound?
Sounds like they are very well built, pity they are a bit bright. What are you running them with, maybe they would pair well with an early SS amp/receiver from the late 60's-early70's?
If the tweeter controls dont attenuate your treble enough - you can always construct an L-pad for the tweeter out of 2 resistors.
Would you also consider the midrange to be contributing to the brightness issue, or just the tweeter?
Yep - building an L-pad is straightforward - you will just need a couple of say, 10-watt resistors per channel - read up on a site like this:I would like to bring the mid down... your thoughts?
Ya, early 90's Denon dra 635... I have a yamaha r 1000 that is (new in box) 1980... I'm hesitant to take it out...
Yeah my guess is they would possibly sound smoother with an older (warmer sounding) unit powering them although in saying that l am not at all familiar with your Denon, l am just going by my experiences here with lots of different gear from different era's.
I have owned quite a few Yamaha's from the 80's and they generally have a brighter and cleaner sound to them that many others, the loudness feature on your R-1000 would help to dial in the correct sound for particular speakers though.
Sounds like a very good idea that slimecity proposed with the mid L pad.
Wow, how did you end up with a brand new R-1000 still in the original box?
Someone had marked out their
FM stations and used white-out to mark where the knobs were supposed to be also
Guess who likes each other??? Yup!, the pioneer speakers above and this little amp
Nice little 330C you have there .
Some old guys seem to like doing that here also, haha.
Great news, as you say some gear just partners better than others.
Ya! I was like "20 watts?, oh well", but I hooked it up and it's more like 40! Great little amp!

How can you tell it's more like 40?
Just my ears... I have had a variety of amps with different watt ratings and I used to do live sound so I have a good grasp on decibel and its relationship to the
power.... I could be totally wrong... but I'm not here to claim genius hood! LOL I've had some of those little amps by Pyle that claim 45 watts and they are more like 10-15...
