ctsooner Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I had the original Polk 10B with dedicate stands and speaker cable. I loved those with Roberson amp and CJ pre amp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved those with Roberson amp and CJ pre amp. First pair of loudspeakers I bought was the original Polk Monitor 10s with silk dome tweeters. I used them with a Carver M200t amp, Hafler Pre, and Thorens turntable. I eventually sold everything and moved up to a PS Audio IVH and Acoustat TNT120, SOTA Sapphire and Vandersteen 2Cs. I pretty much ran each piece to the ground because I enjoyed them so much. Exceptions are my SOTA which still works reliably. I gave my 2Cs to a friend when I acquired my 2CE Sig IIIs. They were still in great working order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC-93 Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 Trying out my old Parasound equipment.  I’m the original owner, bought it in the late 90s. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC-93 Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 I'm liking the Parasound gear. A high damping factor (>800 at 20 hz.) really controls the 4 woofers better than my Carver. The Pre-amp is all Class A topology. No caps in the signal path of the pre-amp or the power amp. John Curl designed the HCA-1000A with very similar topology to the Mark Levinson ML-2, which he did many decades ago.  High biased ClassA/AB operation.   3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
