Title: Hauled my 5As, preamp, and Monarchy poweramps...
Post by: jeffreybehr on 5 Jul 2011, 10:42 pm
...to our A/V-club meeting last week.  Actually, 4 other guys loaded/hauled/etc. everything.  Preamp is my improved c-j MET1...

Poweramps were my improved Monarchy SE-160s.

Of course I had to tell the folk--brag--about them.

I adjusted the bass filters for that room.  The system sounded quite good, and I and they received many compliments.

The Teflon-film bypass caps now have more than 400 hours on them, and the speakers sound excellent.

Finally, upon returning them to my musicroom, I'm satisfied with placement, and I've installed the pointy ends of the spikes.
