I am a big fan of the S-75's!

Very nice! Thanks for sharing the pictures....I've always wanted to have some Perreaux gear!

 

[240sx4u]

Nice gear!

Perreaux amps are made down under, but every one I've ever heard here in the states was amazing.

 

[crackerbuzz]

Perreaux is made about 300 miles south of where I live...

I just purchased the yamaha a760ii and the difference compared to the perreaux is huge! The yamaha is nice but the perreaux is as smooth and warm.

If you guys want any perreaux vintage shipped over let me know... It comes up fairly regularly here...

Merry Xmas!!

Man, I had the chance to pick up a pair of those S-75's a couple of summers ago at a yard sale for $10 and didn't. Still kicking myself for that one. Nice set up!

 

[crackerbuzz]

You should kick yourself! these things are nice man! But they do need a sub as they are a bit polite on their own.

Running a sub at the lowest HZ setting and turning the bass down on the pre allows more volume on the Beos and doesnt work them as hard downstairs.

The fullness with the sub is absolutely out of this world!

Yup, sometimes B&O doesn't get enough credit. Some people write them off as 'toys' cause they look so nice. Uh-uh, B&O had a great engineering team that did some great things. I think those models have 'Phase-Link' and look at all those Philips and Seas drivers.:drool:

Nice system!:thmbsp:
