How hard did you push the original amp? Did you have the gain turned up high? If you only used part of the capability, you may not need a 500 watt amp. Also, we are not talking high fidelity here. I run D-class for subwoofers.

First off, thank you for the kind words. Second, I will add that you get to decide how good is good enough. Here is a Gallo sub that I put a no name TPA3255 plate amp I got from Walmart (also available on Amazon). I filled in the original hole and cut that to fit the new amp. Is it 100% a match...

Awesome!

He is busy playing with his new toy.

Hoping for a PSA TV2112M

I recently picked up this amp from a friend and intend to use it in my home theater. Before I do that, I did some testing with a pair of JBL 4311B speakers. This thing is so over the top, the LED VU meters don't move at normal levels. If I turn it up, I get a second LED to light. In my home...

Here are my "underground" Jubilee speakers. These are one-offs in that they were made using double-sided mahogany veneer, when the factory was using bed liner black for the pro market. You can now buy the 75th Anniversary version for the high-end home market.

I used to stain and then used Howard Feed-n-Wax about every 6 months. The last time was over a year and the doors really looked worse for wear. Decided to paint them and that seals them from the elements.

The original mahogany doors were weathered and very tired. After years of oil and stain, it was time to paint them. I pulled the doors, removed all the hardware and sanded them before going with a Sherman-Williams Naval blue.

Their website is still up: https://www.ati-amp.com/ A quick search finds that ATI (American Technologies Inc.) is closed. Not to be confused with ATI (Amplifier Technologies Inc).

Late to the party but congrats on retirement and your new toy. Life is good.

The sad truth is as we get older this happens more and more often. It's never easy.

Thanks for the info. A nice remote solution so I don't hear, "what do I turn on?"

Kudos to you sir. That is a lot of work, but in the end, you can say "I made that"

The only constant is change. Now a pair of Audio Mirror Reflections amps running 6C33C tubes.
