   I wondered where those speakers went...  They are excellent when properly positioned.
Is that a True Image amp?  :o

Excellent system T.

Very good pick up on the amp.  It is a True Image.  I snagged it off of eBay about a month ago.  It is a great amp.  125wpc of class A power.

Are those things 2 ways, Tom, or are there drivers I can't see in the photo?

How do they sound?

There is a side firing woofer in each cab. They have a weird vent in the back, kind of like a T-line but not quite. Awesome tweeters valued in the 2-300 range. They crank too. We tried them out on my old Hafler 500 and had the old shop shaking.
Sorry Tom, I know the question was directed at you, but I saw it first  :P
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Tom

Your systems look great!

I also use various Squeezebox products throughout my house. I was wondering what file format you use for streaming?

Those amps are mine.  I did strike a deal with Tom but they still were not cheap to obtain.
