rreally? you have a 73 gremlin to match? not to mention I dont find the distortion tubes add to the sound to be pleasant.. to each their own i spose

No 73 Gremlin sadly //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I just think how un-new-tech-like it is seems sexxy to me.

tubes can sound amazing...when done right.

a listen to Balanced Audio Technology will make you all believers.

that HU is using the tube i the preamp, but it is still a solid state head unit.

in the right car, it could look great.

i want this pair - McIntosh MX406 and MDA5000

that mcintosh is what I want as well

 

[>>SQL<< 10+ year member]

Id take that McIntosh as well

I will say with the investment, it is sad to see a poor install on the Mac's. I mean, spring for a custom mount!

That Panny bottlehead is sexy as fawk. The tubes are on the amp output though, so unless you want to run your front stage off HU power, they're just for decoration. There is another model that's similar in looks but without the tubes. I want that one. I forget the model number but it's all stainless and has the analog meters.
