Good day to all-
First post here. I recently inherited and restored a couple of beautiful McIntosh pieces- MX110 driving a MC240 (both circa 1963-65). A friend who helped guide the process recommended vintage Pioneer speakers to complement the tube characteristics of the Mc gear. In looking around for availability, I've seen a lot of discussion of HPM series and the CS series- And now to the questions- Does anyone have experience with both of these, is one notably superior to another? What is the difference btwn CS-88's and CS-88a's? Are these a good match for an all-tube system putting out 40Wpc? Are there other Pioneer models that I should be looking at? Thank you all kindly for your time.
Best regards,
Soli
