ever changing system. Started with some vintage receivers and some budget turntables, built up with other used goods. Keep finding stuff I like more. I was using some Dynaco A-25s with the yamaha, or some energy c-6's both at about 88-90db eff. The Hersesy's are 97 and don't need the 200watts, I've got a yamaha cr-1000 and use the power amp section to drive these babies and it sounds better. Looking at trying some tube amps to see what I like. comments. I'll post some photos sometime in the next few months.
