Need I say more. Seems that only you and a few of your guru's customers have anything worth listening to. The rest of us have amps that "flunk-out", if that is not insulting, I don't know what is.
I mean, were in the D- to F- category, now excuse me while I carry my MC40 monoblocks to the trash can and put my Altecs on the curb.
Seems I am delusional as the the fine outstanding sound that this combo makes. Only you and your guru seem to know what works best.

Bill,

The Mac 60 monos, not a 40, is the best sounding of that whole group.

There is a LOT better sounding amplification, available today to an open-minded, and open-eared listener, than a McIntosh MC40, which one can use with a well set-up VOTT.

You state " Seems that only you and a few of your guru's customers have anything worth listening to.".

Good Bill, you read me 100% correctly !! Very good !!

Yes, from what I have heard on ALTECs and GPAs, and even what I build myself as a amateur DIYer, other amps DO flunk. My comments were meant to inform you, not insult. Its the cold, hard truth - just as I hear it, the last ten to twelve years.

Its such a shame, that I don't still live in Trenton, NJ or Morrisville, PA, where I could easily get over to Burlington, NJ, and insert my newest designed / built 1.3 Watt Type 46 SET amp into your system,. and let you hear that. How informative that would be, for you.

No, on second thought Bill, ......I couldn't do that, the amp would never get heard - to its full potential.

I saw photos of your crossover, on AudioKharma an hour ago, and could just imagine, besides having to fully rebuild the crossover (with numerous film bypass caps), I'd have to re-wire your system, from amps to drivers, so you could best hear what is possible with a decent amplifier.

Oh well, you are invited to Missouri, my place, or best of all, the Denver RMAF show, October 6th through 8th, 2017, to hear for yourself and finally understand, what I am talking about.

Amps, not speakers, really are the turkeys. I truly believe, very few people have fully heard, what an ALTEC, or GPA driver is totally capable of doing !!
