Re: Opening the Heath AS-101
I rebuilt the crossovers, kept stock values, using Clarity Caps and a WE NOS oil with the 806 compression driver. I have saved all of the original parts. I realize the speakers are a bit strong in the upper mids but the amp is on the brights side of life too. Really looking for a power amp but I suppose I should consider integrateds. Had a B&K ST-202 but it was not a good match and had way more power than the Heathkits need, speakers are rated at 50 watts max. I think a 20 - 40 watt amp would be fine but I want to leave it on all of the time thus why tubes are not being considered.
The Adcom GFA-535 is not too bad just too forward and bright and could use some low end grunt. Was thinking about an NAD's but really wanted to consider something higher end. The dynamics and control in the mid bass on up is nice in this configuration. Dialogue is very clear and clean.
Hoping to hear of some complimentary marriages between a low powered SS amp and 'Valencia's'.
Thanks!
