ah thank you guys

(my favorite salute)
@don_s I used to be a huge quad fan, well still am just don't have in the system. Had modded 63's and then 989's and always ran bass woofers (various models) with, which we eq'd (bass only) to match room better. Now I run speakers designed by Wally Malewicz, a good friend who I have known for apprx 25 years, his flex speaker of which I think 8 pairs exist are simply fabulous. The preamp I settled on, don't laugh, is a DIY pass B1 with homemade teddy pardo PSU and good caps and resistors at critical places (it replaced a CJ act2, which replaced a cj art mk2). My amp is Roger Hebert's wonderful sounding wyetech 211 A+, which has also been modded to very close to C version. Picture of amp and speakers below, to the far left I have cat control on top of the CJ pre.
