Looks nice to me. I'd like to see some other pics of your amp if you can PM them to me. Thanks. I was looking at the TOTL Klispch like yours (forget the P/N) and my LSIM 707's. Since the 707's were a bit narrower and are quite beefy at nearly 120lbs each + I spoke with one of the head engineers that was in the 5 year development cycle for the new LSIM series. So, I went with the TOTL Polks and very happy with them. Silky smooth, Detailed, etc.... I also like the curves and compound angles on the inside. The front baffles are 1.5" thick. Both are great speakers. Sounds like we are both happy with the choices we made.Good evening. Yes
Those are quite heavy and on the large side. Its a NAD 218 amp. The transformer is a 1200 VA Holmgren toroidal. I belive the amp is around 23 kg's in total (or 50 lbs)
The 218's are held to be a bit "tube-like" I dont know about that, but they are not "bright" anyway, more on the "dark" side,
They are very strong in the bottom octave, which I like for low volume listening. I dont have any tone controls.
I like the combination with the Klipsch RF83 very much.
The RF83 has titanium drivers and horns, very detailed highs and MAY be a bit sharp and biting, especially when pushed to higher volumes and combined with too bright sounding gear.
BUT IMHO imo the combination of the two is very pleasant sounding, still very detailed.
Good speaker for music with female and male vocals, guitar, piano, rock, blues, jazz, electronic music also.
Awesome and Awesome!! Marantz 2270 what a beauty!
Yes I am happy with them. Later I have come across better speakers, the Dali Epicon 8, but they are 15K and out of reach at the momentLooks nice to me.
