He's sure gonna find out what his speakers are made of !

Are you recommending that I have a supply of fuses for my speakers on hand?

 

[laatsch55]

Dude!! That's some fine stuff!! Well, with the WOPL 1000 maybe you can FEEL a difference??

 

[laatsch55]

What speaks Doug?

 

[fitz43]

Mission M74s are curently connected to the pl700b.

I haven't heard them. I would like to though. Your system is all SS? Can you describe the sound? Very nice speakers. What kind of music do you listen to? You won't blow your fuses. LOL Will this be your 1st modded amp? 1000 questions. LOL Forgot I was typing. LOL

 

[laatsch55]

Never even heard of Mission. Perhaps that other 700B needs refreshed??

Mission M74.... Peak Power Handling... 150 Watts ! If you hook the 700 that you got from Lee up to these speakers..... DO NOT turn it on !!!! LOL.... My speakers were supposed to handle 5 to 600 Watts... At High volume on some songs mine pop like heck !!!! Just saying.... These amp are dangerous !

 

[speakerman1]

He could blow the fuses just don't think he will. Not everyone tries to make their ears bleed. LOL

Ehhh.. what you say, Sonny?? Speak up I can't hear you... lol

If your ears don't bleed, how will you ever know you were successful?

 

[speakerman1]

Ever climbed on a jet engine @ 104% full AB. It doesn't make your ears bleed but you pay. Like the ole saying goes. If your going to be dumb you gotta be brave. I was dumb.

 

[laatsch55]

What were you doing on a jet at full afterburner????????????????????? Jesus man------that's loud 5 miles away!!!!!!!!!!

 

[speakerman1]

Gotta climb on them to trim throttles or wipe the indication T5 amp. This isn't test cell. We are trimming to the aircraft now. Everything has to match.

Describing the sound is difficult because I don't have anything to compare it with. Never listened to tube equipment. The upper freqs are attenuated with sliders on the preamp. Is the brightness from being SS or the speakers themselves? Types of music = runs the gamutalmost anything. The last CD I put it in the player was by Yello - Flag. My pl400 (less the faceplate) can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NUVrGWKE_M

Individual auditory perception mostly Doug. If it sounds good to you then it is.!!

 

[speakerman1]

To me it is the sum of all parts when you hear it. Tubes can be very accurate. There is just a warmer sound. I guess is what I think of SS is a more analytical precise sound. Tubes can be as defined just not as in your face. The Missions weren't your 1st set of speakers? What do they sound like to you. You have heard tubes I'll bet if you have listened to a Marshall amp a band was playing through. They both have pluses and minuses. What I was getting at was why you chose the Missions.

I will have a look at the 700b this evening. I've never looked in side it, so don't know if it is all stock or....
It is fully functioning at the moment. I wouldn't need another monster built, but might be time to upgrade some aged components.
I'll decide soon and the cabbage case might have the 700b in it for the return journey to Wyo.

I used to run some ported "homebuilts" prior to the Missions. They were large cabinets which housed 2 12" Utahs and 8 CTS 2T8s per box. They didn't really appeal to the wife and after the pl400 stopped functioning on one channel, I replaced the speakers and bought a Rotel amp. The Missions were purchased on a friend's recommendation and after listening to them. They don't have the bottom end that the old speakers had, but had wife approval.

Every day I see how lucky I am to have a wife that loves her music like I do. If I like it she does, if she likes it i do.
