After running my newly rebuilt KLH 6s on my main rig with 125wpc I figured when I moved them back to the bedroom I would be disappointed. Not that the receivers I have back there are in anyway bad, they just are not in the same league as the Marantz 250/1060 in the front rig.
I was going to use the 75 wpc Fisher RS 2007 but was too lazy to move it. So I hooked them up to my cherry Quadraflex 979. After listening to that combo for the past few weeks I realized it sounds really freaking good...not just nice, but
really nice.
The 979 is in superb condition and so are the speakers so i am sure that makes a difference. But, WOW, sometimes things just click and these two do. I have a Yamaha 1040 inbound so I am interested in how much, of any, difference there will be. The Yamaha is 80wpc and the Quadraflex 60. Does more power always around better? That is the question that get argued all the time. Does the 60 watt 979 sound better than the 125 watt Marantz 250? No, but it sounds damn good with these speakers in our big bedroom.
Sometimes less can be great, if not more.
