I have a feeling that if you could find a NOS PL amp unused in the box to compare to a WOPL, it would suffer the same fate as the Rowland, the Parasound and quite likely the McIntosh's but I understand what your saying
Absolutely guarantee that..

You'll get to test drive Blackie as soon as this one gets home Jason. Better start looking for a decent standalone preamp, you've got less then a month until your sonic re-awakening

And there you go, looks like you will be needing those speakers Bro, one preamp, 2 WOPL's , 4 BIG speakers and a partridge in a peartree, you got the 80 acres to open them up for some Simple Man. What a way to get an introduction!!! :tongue1:

Serious as a heart attack. I don't think you can hurt it and if ya do I know how to fix it. Hard to ask some one to lay out 1000-1500 sheckels without letting them hear it......Please don't trash the faceplate...

This will be shipped in the cabbage case. 2 minutes to pack and be ready for shipment. Haven't had a single shipping related problem since I started using it. When you're done I will scan and e-mail a shipping label to the next person...

Blackie can't compete with a 1000B Jason but the offer is still there to borrow her anytime after I get this beauty home. The old lady is not too keen on the idea of another set of huge speakers in the livingroom so my plan to run both amps is in the shitter for now. I need to upgrade to D9's irregardless and she is cool with that at least

I have them dx7s. But 1 of the cabs are bad. So if you could find cabs you would be set!

Haha that's right!! Get ya hooked and sit back and rake it in lmao

Yep, only this time you really get your money's worth. I absolutely guarantee that you will be blown away when you hear a WOPL. It just crushes the air around you, huge power, wicked dynamics, large soundstage, low noise floor and the goddamn classy looks of a bygone era (both the 400 and 700B)
