Your room is going to be a big factor in which speakers work best for you. I'd suggest trying them all with the Mac and Golden Tube preamp, and decide for yourself.
Need advice on building a system from a mishmash of components!
Hi, 1st time at posting so I apologize in advance if I screw up.
As a result of wonderful gifts, purchases and inheritance I have the following components. Is anyone interested in providing some recommendations on how to pair them up for a good system or two? Purchase new components to improve? I listen to jazz, a little classic rock. I listen to a lot of vinyl and many CDs
Thank you in advance.
MacIntosh Amp SS MC2105 - Great condition Refurbished by Audio Classics 105 watts/channel 1972 I believe
Adcom Amp GFA535 60 watts into 8O 1987 Good condition
Adcom Pre-amp 555 1987 Good condition
Golden Tube Audio Pre-amp SEP-1 No phono 1995 Excellent condition
Rega Saturn CD Player 2007 or so, very good condition,
Pioneer Tuner TX6800 Very good condition 1980-81
Luxman Turntable Quartz DD, PX99 1980's? Good condition, Grado red cartridge, under 10 hours
Niles SVCC Speaker Control System 1980s, 4 volume controls for 8 speakers Very good condition
2 B&W 705 speakers (curved top) with stands, 2004 Excellent condition
2 Totem Mite speakers with stands. 2005 Excellent condition
2 Magnepan Ribbon speakers - very good condition, with oak sides, metal feet. MMG I believe (They are wrapped up) As I have a fairly small house I'm not sure that these will fit...
Definitive Technology Super Cube 3 - Excellent condition, maybe 5 hours, Active. 7.5" woofer with 2 radiators
KLH Small Sub - passive, cheap piece.
I am not sure of the best pairing of components to make one good system, and where I should jettison and / or invest in other components. Or if I shoild look at making 2 systems... I realize that this is not high end stuff, but its the best I have at the moment! Thank you for any and all suggestions.
