woah... impressive.. I couldn't afford to replace half the tubes in it..

 

[westend]

I couldn't afford rewiring my house for that load.

 

[nickrobotron]

[willyrover]

Hmmm...

Do they come in brushed aluminum?

Sure am glad it is a set of mono blocks, that way I can rewire a couple of 30 amp circuits instead of having to put in one really big 60 amp circuit. I think it would be good to have these things on different sides of the room to even out the load on the floor. I could use the power though.

Technically, I see where this should be in D&S, but it is more an oddity, than anything. BTW, no affiliation

46 amp draw!

Well, I think if you had the $$$ to spend on the amps, you might be able to afford the electricity. That is a lot of current! 18 amps just to idle the things too :tears:

Hmmmm... I do work for the local power company... :scratch2:

...and what kind of preamp are you supposed to run with that thing - that will likely be another $15K, won't it? I mean, it would be a sacrilege and you would be subject to endless humiliation and scorn, if you hook up a measly, low-brow SPEC-1 to it, right?

Actually, I'd be just as proud to own a SPEC-1, if not more. At least that would allow me to feel as though I knew what I was doing . Probably be just as sweet. Diminishing returns, as someone once said. The only thing that appeals to me is the passion for audio one must have to begin to create such a thing, the rest is just over the top. Kinda like a Bugatti Veryon.

Yeah, but they had it gold plated....

 

[Arkay]

:scratch2: Purdy, purdy... Wonder how those would sound driving the IRS-Vs? Might want a double-set of them, to bi-amp both sides. Add in appropriate sources and pre-amp, custom-built listening room...

...all I need to do is win a big lottery, first!

 

[Redboy]

That thing is just plain silly.

 

[packrat]

That thing is just plain silly.

my thought exactly... 80 tubes????

 

[HomerJ]

I was gonna buy it but the shipping is too much.

 

[stormy]

...should work well with those million dollar speakers.
