Hi,
This is my first post on AK, and I am a relatively new vintage collector, though my interest in music and the wares runs a lifetime! So, I thought it would be interesting to see if I'm on the right track with what I've picked up so far on my limited budget. Please feel free to critique honestly as I don't tend to cry easily, and it will surely help me out in the quest for sonic perfection! Specifically, is the receiver/speaker combo good? The following is my set up for my vinyl collection...
Harman/Kardon HK460i receiver ('81-'83) - 30 watts RMS per channel
Technics SL-QD3 turntable ('85)
Akai SR LA201 Speakers ('85-'87) - It says "Max Power 110 watts" and "Rated Power 65 watts" on the back. It's unclear whether the power ratings are per speaker or for both?
Anyway... what do people think? It sounds good to me and undistorted up to half way on the volume dial... Is there anything I could be doing better with this set up?
Thanks,
