You will encounter more difficulty trying to find circa 1968 amps but they still make them for theater applications I understand, but I may be wrong about home theater. As has been said Shahinian is still in business and yes used ones do appear here and ebay.
Help me emulate the best speakers I've heard
Spent last summer subletted a flat in Berlin all summer, and had the best listening experience of my life. Emailed the guy who owns it and it was:
-James T Lansing energizer (amp) 460 from 1968
-Pair of Shahinian Compass speakers
-Plus a Pro-Ject DAC dock for the iPhone.
My understanding would be that buying a setup like this would be 4-6k, and I haven't been able to find Shahinians for sale at any price, so:
Can anyone recommend something similar for someone who loved this sound? Ideally on the cheaper (2-4k) end.
Most music will be played from iPhone or computer, mostly mp3 and Rdio streaming, plus a decent amount of vinyl. So basically a DAC, Phono Pre-amp, Amp, Speakers.
