May 9, 201016 yr comment_351907 Firstwatt F5. Class A to 27w, clipping at 54w (into 8ohm), stable into 1ohm. Report
May 9, 201016 yr comment_351920 I'm pretty sure all of the Aleph amps would handle the Quads well. The Firstwatt would also be a good option and should sound great (not that I know since mine is basically an oven at this stage ). Report
May 12, 201016 yr comment_352876 These 12Ls are fucking gigantic. Like their sound?* simile or question? you be the judge, or lawyer Report
May 12, 201016 yr comment_352878 They're physically much larger than I had anticipated. And that's going to be a problem. Haven't hooked them up yet. Report
May 12, 201016 yr comment_352899 Why is there particular excitement over the '63's and not their newer counterparts? Is it just a price/DIY kind of thing? After all the expense of getting a pair of 63's in fully working condition, it doesn't seem that they're much cheaper than the somewhat more reliable later models. Report
May 12, 201016 yr comment_352914 They're physically much larger than I had anticipated. And that's going to be a problem. Haven't hooked them up yet. Well gee, I guess you'll have to send them to me. I'll send along my Consonance integrated and my smaller dual 5 1/4 woofered Emotiva monitors. Report
May 12, 201016 yr comment_352919 They're physically much larger than I had anticipated. And that's going to be a problem. Haven't hooked them up yet. Hook them up, you won't care anymore about their size. Seriously though, give yourself time to acclimate to them. Report
May 12, 201016 yr comment_352948 They're physically much larger than I had anticipated. And that's going to be a problem. Haven't hooked them up yet. That is why they spent such a short time on my desk before moving on. Report
May 12, 201016 yr comment_352953 That is why they spent such a short time on my desk before moving on. FFFFUUUUU. I'm so bad with dimensions. The 9Ls are obviously better for me. But they are gotdam expensive in comparison. We'll see, I'll hook these up tonight to confirm they work (they are beautiful, btw), then determine if they stay at home, go to work, or go to someone else. Report
May 12, 201016 yr comment_353139 I suggest using your friendly audio gear storage facility across the river until you decide what to do with them forget about them. Report

We'll see, I'll hook these up tonight to confirm they work (they are beautiful, btw), then determine if they stay at home, go to work, or go to someone else. Seriously, I may be interested if you decide to sell them. I've been planning on getting a pair for a while now. Timing sucks a little due to CJ, but I may still be able to swing it. Not that it really matters to me but what's the veneer/finish? Dinny have you considered the Wharfdale 8.1 active? It's plain Jane looking by comparison, but I hear the value is pretty good.

After all the expense of getting a pair of 63's in fully working condition, it doesn't seem that they're much cheaper than the somewhat more reliable later models. Price mostly, I can't refurb the panels myself. What else is in that $1500-2500 (used) ballpark, ESL-988? Report
May 13, 201016 yr comment_353238 I thought my 12L's were pretty large too, but after setting them on my headroom desktop stands, it doesn't really matter. So maybe you just need the right stands? Report
May 13, 201016 yr comment_353253 Are the 12Ls really that big? They don't look so large in the pics, but I guess I have no real idea of scale. Report
May 13, 201016 yr comment_353255 Just exactly how big is 12 x 8 x 14 inches? Dimensions (LxWxH) 355 x 205 x 253 mm, perhaps ... Report
May 13, 201016 yr comment_353257 I dunno, it doesnt seem that big, just looking at the dimensions. Maybe it is more imposing sitting on one's desk. Report
May 13, 201016 yr comment_353258 Old pic, but it provides scale: Click through for notes and such, if you wish. Report
