Hello everyone, I am a vintage HiFi enthusiast, who was fortunate to be in my late teens during the heyday of HiFi. I spent many hours listening to many systems in local dealers. I have built up a reasonable system that is a mixture of DIY and classic items infusing a Crofr Epoch pre amp, Radford STA15 power amp, Tannoy Cheviot speakers, various vinyl front ends including a fairly recent Linn LP12 and various TDA1541A DAC-based digital sources.

I hope to connect with folk with similar interests here. Thanks for having me.

After 3 posts, the search function is available for your use - https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?action=search  (and you can search the GR Research for terms like Magnepan)

Unfortunately with this kind of complex 3-way crossover and low efficiency speakers that needs a security fuse and tweeter attenuator, you will need a big amp and large room, say minimum 200W amp that can drive 86dB and 4Ω (3Ω for most of the range). Best luck
