Just received a WOPL 700 II from Lee in a cabbage box!

I very seldom listen at loud levels. When I listen at anything above probably 79-80dB it hurts my ears and I do not enjoy it. I have always liked the Idea of having way more power than needed/required for a set of speakers though. The E III's I am listening to right now with this amplifier are rated at 91dB sensitivity and 150 max watts per. The amplifier is unaware that they exist. The speakers preform marvelously!

@VSAT88: That's a fine-looking system you've got assembled. You may spend much more time revisiting old records/CD, etc. you hadn't heard for awhile just to get acquainted with your new WOPL amp. There is a sweet spot for listening - not too loud, not too quiet - just right. That sounds like a famous fairy tale, but very appropiate.

Always - the generosity of members makes someone's life a little brighter.

Nando.

@Elite-ist Nando! Thanks. Coming from you that is one hell of a compliment. Actually, that stuff mostly is just sitting there. Its in "The Office" so I am always swapping in and out of that rack. Of course that is easy to see by all the chipped wood. Right now I am not using the tube amp up top or the CJ pre. The CJ MV75 A1 that usually sits up top took a dive on me the other day so I swapped in the Jolida and never snatched the pre amp out. May hook it up to the WOPL and just see what it sounds like. I have always liked that Forte F 44 preamp/line stage whatever you call it. It sounds as nice as any pre I ever had. If anyone here can pick up one cheap I would definitely try it out. And yes, I have found the members of this site to be incredibly generous.
 
I just let Kevin take his CJ MV75 home after I had it since our last gig here. With the cooler weather, I’ll put my tube Amos back in service. The preamp already has tubes. And I came here to get a PL years ago but was a number off of winning that 400, darn.

Kevin has a lot of gear that Bob Carver had a hand in making so maybe I’ll hear some one day. Or get Thain to drag his ugly, beat up, 700II over to a gig one day. Not WOPL but refreshed to working properly. Kevin’s gear would be, too.
 
Well if you are ever near Phenix City Alabama you are more than welcome to come by. Yep. In the South tubes can and do make a shitload of heat. So does this Krell KSA 150 but I am pretty sure they ain't going to get a lot of play this winter. If you can call what we have down here winter anyhow. You know us Southerners, we are all about to freeze to death when it drops below 50 deg.F.
 
Don't let nobody fool ya. It does get cold here. The moisture in the air or whatever. I have worked up North in New England/ Up state NY/ Pennsylvania and there was a shitload of snow and it was cold as a well diggers ass. But, there is something about the cold down here when it really does get cold...

Don't think I've ever been colder than working at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant in January/February. On the Tennessee River and cotton fields as far as the eye can see - that wind made it bitter cold.

Talk about wind chills......i got some stories for you..
 
In Dallas (my prior residence) it seemed like 3 visible snowflakes resulted in the locals stripping the grocery stores bare, and heading for the ditches. For a northern native, it was like watching a Benny Hill skit (well, unless you had to be out on the road with them . . . ) *ZERO* concept of winter driving. Nada. Zilch. Zip. . . .

Seeing a California plate in our neck of the woods at this time of year is usually chesp entertainment.

Same here. Hell, they slide all over the road when it rains let alone let it ice or snow! We used to go around looking for them pulling them out of the ditches.
