set it up with a G-8000 that Dr. Audio (Warren) so nicely recapped for me. Drove hour and half to get 'em and belonged to a nice gentlemen that had them since new. Shipped them from overseas when working for the military as they were never sold in the U.S. These things are BEASTS with each weighing 105lbs.
The cabinets are 1" fiberboard and has its own toe kick. I decided to refinish so stripped and sanded and restained. Sprayed three coats of satin poly for years of protection. The sound is phenomenal and powerful and have it matched with a set of Bose 901 Continentals and both are playing thru 901 eq.
I decided to share as it's a rare combo... Enjoy pics...:thmbsp:
Not so rare around here as I have seen at least 3 Pairs of these 5500's this summer alone for decent dollars. Guess they were brought back by someone in the Armed Services :thmbsp:
