    QLS1's with lower powered tube amps

    Like the title says, has anyone here powered their QLS1 speakers with a lower power tube amp? Something in the 50W range, vintage or newer. Just curious what your results were. Right now I'm running mine with 200W of Mcintosh SS power.

    QLS 1 Amp Discussion

    Watkins Woofer Issue - VC

    Road Trip to New York - McIntosh & Audio Classics

    As the title says, I'm planning a summer road trip to NY. I'm in Canada, north of Toronto, and the GPS indicates 5.5 hours. So it would be an overnighter. The better half would be coming, and I'm sure she will want to stop at outlet malls. :dunno: My main focus would be to spend some undervalued...

    Akai AA-1200 a few seconds of crackling on power up

    I'm kind of new here, but have been reading a lot. I picked up an Akai AA-1200, I'm really liking this old power house. I have a couple of question about what I hope are small issues. One is, that when I turn on the power switch, there is the normal pause, then the "click" of power going out...
