Camplex, Gillette, Wyo.

I agree; but when can everyone do it. Plus the finances. I can try to help others if I have the settlement by then. If we all stay at the same hotel. I'll get a cheap rate. I don't stay in motel 6s though. That ended when my contractor days did also.

This has to be planned. A lot of preparation. Get sponsors and stuff.

Sponsors???

Just thinking out loud. Spun a gear. Stuwee ask Jerry about that little Creek. Not a bunch of wattage; but sounds good.

I let the magic smoke out of my MX-800 a couple of years back and so she sits, mourning. She was cranking hard at the time too. Maybe someday send her off and see if new smoke can be put back where the old smoke left.

I see a trip to Iowa in her future , great powerful beastie! I'm afraid my time with mine is about up when the X-Amp mono's get here. They are 2 totally different presentations between them, lucky me the amps sit out in the open on stands between the ML's so swapping in and out is quick and easy

Jim, do you or avionic have an idea of what caused the magic smoke on yours?

I think it had something to do with several beverages, I had the deck speakers on but forgot, I was inside cranking up the Legacy's, I guess over the long haul it was just to much, pop and smoke.

Both 8 ohms speaks Jim??

No, the deck speakers are but the Legacy Classic's are 4 ohm, and the do drop below. I currently run them biamped, a Halfer Pro 500 driving the low end of them and a Echowars enhanced Adcom 585 for the mid and upper. No deck speakers, put them on a seperate receiver.

Jim

 

[laatsch55]

So you were in the 2 ohm territory enough to make em cough. Anything EW'd is a great piece. what a hand.!!!

 

[Fairchild]

Yeah, sounded great right up to the end.

I may have to see if Avionic is interested in tearing into it, it was a nice amp. I bought it at a garage sale for a dollar, the speaker outputs were busted up, a bit of repair and it was a very well spent dollar.

Jim

 

[laatsch55]

Hard to go in the hole doin that!!!

 

[stuwee]

So my MX-800U is rated down to 1ohm, the MX-800 isn't ? I thought they'd be similar, no hyperbolic conversion circuitry in there?

Edit; it's the same as mine, http://www.wired4sound.net.au/amplifier ... mx_800.htm

Some other abuse before you got it I bet, you just pushed it over the edge......
I've had the ML's and the JBL's cranked at the same time, she did get a little warm tho, glad I backed off...

 

[laatsch55]

Goes to show ya Stuwee, call it what you want. If the power supply is good so should the output stage. There should have been something in that amp to prevent that. Even a "Thermodisc " on the heatsinks might have saved it.

We can most likely get it singing again.I have a 55 gal drum of new magic smoke.

So Dave, what do you think of these 800's? Mines served me very well the last 3 years, should I sell it? Are they prone to failures?

The little aluminum heat sinks always looked skimpy for the power to me, but what do I know......

 

[laatsch55]

What did that run ya Dave?? Haven't seen that on sale for quite awhile!!

EPA banned..Got it on the black market..

Some of those service connections no doubt.
