I bought a set of these and ran them with all MIT cables, and a McIntosh c41 preamp through B&W 604s3's and they sounded incredible! I disconnected my two McIntosh MC162's running mono and ran these instead "WOW" Mine have the auric caps and some 6bm8 chinese tubes that Kevin Deal recommened. I was amazed at what I got for the money, compared to the Mac gear. The Mac gear is great but I'm gonna try this for a while. Keith
Whats the deal with these antique sound labs av-8s
I've just heard about these antique sound labs av-8 monoblock amps, and apparently they sound fantastic. Would a pair of these+a good preamp sound good? What kind of pre-amp would go well with these amps? I Know they only push 8 watts each, but supposedly these 16watters combined can push nicely. Thanks for any info on these bad boys, I can't seem to find any info!
