Welcome aboard!

I was lucky enough to visit Christchurch four times in the late 80's and early 90's while traveling to and returning from Mcmurdo Station, Antarctica. What a lovely town you live in! I loved everything about it! I'm interested to hear about your system.


Cheers!

Hi to All

Yes i have 2 perreaux power amps made in NZ a p6160  6 channel 160 wpc rms and a p200 2 channel 200wpc rms..they are under rated for power not like many blown out figures today !
Yes CHCH is a beautiful city..apart from the damned earthquakes we had for about 5 years with 1000's of aftershocks ...big ones in 2010 -2012 ..its been settled now for the last 5 years we hope !! (but NZ always has earthquakes somewhere being on the pacific ring of fire like USA and Japan )
Hi...I knew a commander of the CHCH Antarctic base a few years back he was in our 4x4 club ..a nice american chap and family
MY gear is good and i consider myself very fortunate to own it in my retirement we built it up over many years as could afford it we put our $$ into hifi gear and not overseas travel and holidays ! (NZ is a great spot for holidays !!)
