We use the same soldering iron, I have at least three of them in my shop and a couple unopened. I ran my own business so I have multiples of many such things. I would love to see a view of the amp from directly above it.
I need to upgrade speakers in my shop but I need to do justice to a Carver amp and preamp so I am searching for the perfect pair of bookshelf speakers. I am looking at Elac, Warfdale, Klipsch, Definitive Technology, and Kef. I do not mind them being used and I hope to keep the price around $350 or less. Any suggestions are appreciated. I will be trading gear in and out as I do some testing and repair so I do not want expensive speakers in that situation yet I do not like weak links in an audio chain.
Consider Paradigm speakers, too. I moved a pair of Monitor SE Atoms from my main system to the basement shop a few years ago. They've seen more use in the past two weeks than since the "banishment". An Onkyo A25 integrated amp from the early 80's drives them. I'll only replace it if Schiit releases a desktop speaker amp. In the meantime, it needs a serious Deoxit treatment.
Just bought my friend a Paradigm Monitor Centre channel to match the rest of his home theatre set-up. I sold Paradigm and Wharfdale speakers many years.

A gentleman on here was kind enough to help me with some Elacs so I will go in that direction. Thanks to everyone for their input. I try to be kind to others and every now and then it pays off for me as well.

The Carver amp I will be using was driving Infinity Kappa 9's that can go down to one ohm as best I recall. Those are hard to drive. The amp is capable of 500 watts per channel but that is probably peak power.

Anyone else hoping to catch a listen to the new Nitsch amplifier? Comes out next month, and listening to Piety, I'll be happy at this price point, but still curious.
This Piety is so good with old 50s-70s jazz type sounds. And Grado Hemp!
I was replying to a couple things. 500 watts per channel into four ohms and the amp was hooked to speakers that might get to one ohm, Sam owns the same speakers and I believe he mentioned it, or I dreamed it. Yes impedance does vary with frequency. Sorry I am in multiple conversations at once.

Who knows what wattage into 1 ohm …. even if over a narrow kHz range ….
