Burrito Deluxe - Disciples of the Truth - 2007

Also often named Electrophonic, rather than Morse. But Kent is absolutely correct. Lower-end, okay sound.

Any published opinions on that copy? My 4311s might be interested.

Hope you love 'em, they should sound great!

Original walnut looks great on vintage JBLs.

In the KA-7100, it's a single transistor that drives the relay. Common failure. I can't believe the KA-7300 could be much more complex.

Missed the KA-7100 from my college days so much I bought and refurbed one a couple of years ago. Beautiful amp, easy to service, and sounds great.

Congrats on a successful forum migration/upgrade!! :D

If you can use a soldering iron, you can replace bulbs. Contact @dgwojo here on AK for all your bulb needs.

And if they've survived said "interesting lives" then it's solid evidence how reliable they are!!

Total less than 100W? Shouldn't be any problem at all.

For those of us who are perpendicularly-challenged...

That KA-7100 is one of the nicer integrated amps of its day. Aside from replacing the power supply caps, there's one switching transistor in the power supply that frequently fails. Search posts here for KA-7100 and you'll find it.

I still have an original pair of a/d/s B8 speakers, and they've always been amazing. The stereo imaging from the tweeters and the tight, well-defined bass are their strongest points.

I have a pair of the RTi A9 as the front left and right in my home theatre room. They sound great and handle power very well, but really benefit from the addition of a sub-woofer. It's a shame they don't have the bass performance I expected at that price point.

I second the recommendation of the coffee filter. Inexpensive, durable, and strong. PVA is poly-vinyl-alcohol. Thinning out some Aileen's Tacky Glue with a bit of water does a really good job bonding the filter to the cone.

Just don't over-drive them with too much power or obnoxious listening levels, and they'll make you very happy.

Musical Concepts PA-4 boards are a great upgrade, if you're willing to drop a few bucks and solder them in yourself.

Elna supplied capacitors for many 70s solid state manufacturers, and also built many of the Kenwood/Trio units at the time. If my memory serves me correctly, anyway.

600 wpc is ridiculously beefy. What speakers will you be driving with it?

I have a pair of the B8 loudspeakers, and with the exception of the black vinyl exterior, their quality is stunning. The stereo imaging from the tweeters is perfect and the bass from the woofers is tight and sharp. As long as you've got 50 or 60 watts to push them, they'll sound terrific.

See my avatar for my suggestion. :D
