Those NAD amps were sonically just great. Enjoyed mine for years and sorry I parted with it.

YOWZA! Those are Revox reel-to-reel, correct? Always lusted after those in my youth.

The speaker placement is a compromise with Mrs. Chitwood, who thinks Pandora through a Bluetooth speaker is "good enough" as far as sound goes in the new house.

You guys are killing me.
My gear is in storage while we are remodeling our house and I have been listening to my music through Bose QC 35s for the last six months. I will have to post photos later, but I have a set of Ascend Acoustics Sierra RAAL ribbon tower speakers mated to a 2-channel Marantz integrated amp. I am upgrading my HTR to an Anthem MRX 720 in the hopes I can cut down my rack load to one amp component. Now the MacIntosh porn has me rethinking caving in to the WAF in our main living room.

Back in the 80’s I came into a little money and went out and purchased my first real “system”. Did tons of research and ended up with a Harmon Kardon turntable, Nakamichi tape deck, NAD pre-amp, Amber Power Amp (constant power source), and KEF speakers. I have to say I listened to alot of speakers and the KEFs blew all the others away. I also learned the number one rule in purchasing stereo equipment: never, never listen to equipment out of your price range!!!! It sounds much better!!!!

I feel your pain! My system was in storage for 14 months while we live in an apartment and built our house. You'll have new appreciation for yours when you can finally set it up and sit back for a listening session.

I can also relate! Mines in storage now as well.
Maybe another year and “it’ll be safe” to set up again. The first needle drop is the sweetest when it finally happens... |

This thread is starting to look like a McIntosh Labs Collectors Club

I recall McIntosh farming out much of their internals being produced in China. Not final assembly so they can still claim made in the USA but many pieces are made in China. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Was this during Clarion ownership? Don't think that's true today (but can ask them). The make the chassis, wind those huge and heavy transformers, print the glass, etc here is USA. A lot of their workforce has been with them for many years, and now under WOM ownership it seems they truly are focusing on that classic extremely high quality all around. WOM also seem to be trying to bring back their clinics too! Today's Mc is a company well worth watching imho.

Some excellent gear on these posts.
I still have my Tannoy Arden 385’s speakers from the late 70’s and my old Technics amp, parabolic equaliser and SL 1700.
