that's a bit much, wouldn't you say? I say build your own, just like you did with your tubes.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Of course, don't try building an 800w tube...hehe

I was (and still am) thinking of going over a kW //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

1300W should be enough for now.

Maybe.

Looking at your sig, I am tempted to now try phono on my system. I remember when I was very young and the audio system that my paretns had (NAD) was very clear. Course, that was the eardrums of a 6 year old, untouched by mad bass.

That's going to be my summer project...getting a nice table and phono preamp worked out.

I'm not trusting my tube system to just digital sources //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I saw some really awesome looking etched acrylic type, with a visible belt drive.. looks way awesome, but doesn't go with the overall system I have. Maybe I should change the CD player to one of those CD transporters and separate DAC converters to have the clear thing going on. But that's way too much money.. sigh...

you want a dual channel or a mono block? anything specific on brand wise?

 

[JimJ 5,000+ posts]

doesn't matter...I was looking at either a QSC RMX-850 or 1450, or a Mackie M-800...

monoblock or stereo, it's going to get bridged anyway.

don't think you'd be looking for a 800w amp to power a pair of speakers.

Got an older Peavy CS 800 I was thinking of selling when tax returns come in. I would have to talk to the other guys in my band though. Currently useing it for our PA.

If it's a CS-800X or H model, that's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/drool.gif.b5e863e893038027711d4402f340dad0.gif-worthy right there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
