Thanks Mark and thanks for your helpful suggestions!

It's in excellent condition and so far (knock on wood) works perfectly. The sound quality is amazing!

What are those speakers?

What are those speakers?

They are Wharfedale E90s. Extreemly efficient. At about 10 watts per side, the room is shaking. 90 lbs each and fishnet speaker grills. I'm a solid state guy but they are probably a tube lover's ideal speaker because of their high efficiency.

Awesome setup, we have something in common with each other, I own the same Lava Lite! (Service Merchandise, Homewood, IL.)

I really like your set up, is the rack something you made or bought ? And as for the chest (left and right) i am assuming there loaded with your albums? Even though i dont see a TT ? Very cool no doubt ..

Me too XL, added an Onix CD-3 and a couple PL 700's modded to ,a PL/Whte Oak 1000. Finally got an JT-2044 headblock and another TAU-11.

Looking mighty fine. Always on the lookout for the big Pioneer 4channel rtr to complement my teac 3340S. Laatsch, what is the name on that clock in your pic? Looks like the studio standard clock I rescued from a broadcast station this summer.

The rack is a standard 7 foot communications equipment style rack (bought used for cheap$) with a base that I modified to have casters.

The cabinets are used rolltop (roll front really) office furnature and yes, they contain CDs and vinyl.

As far as a turntable goes, you can find out about that here:

XL that's SWEET!!!!!

XL, I upgraded the K-Horns to new drivers and crossovers. The woofs were replaced with Crites 1526 S 15" based on the pre 1974 K-33, B&C DCM-50 2" horn drivers with a Martelli Tractix wood horn and B&C DC 10 tweets. The crossovers arer now Al Klappenbergers "universals". They are now a totally different speaker, and much better.

You're so hardcore! I've always been good at working with metal but I've never really gotten into building speakers 'cause wood and I just don't get along (unless it's a 2x4).
