Thanks! Yeah, I call the CW's my Blasphemy's. Took a while to do the "decoupage" on them and then whitewash/shellac them. They have been heavily braced - corners/bass port/motorboard/front to back. Also has upgraded Crites xover and tweeter. Bought the Stage 3 new. Loooong time ago. The Marantz is a 2230 I recapped. When listening to radio, I feed the Magnum Dynalab through the Cary (not turned on) to the tape out and to the Aux in on the Marantz. Radio is on alllll day, don't like burning through tubes. Plus, metal seems more gratifying through the Marantz to the CW's. Basically, the Cary becomes an input selector for the Marantz :) Don't always want to wait 30 min for tubes to warm up. The Marantz stays on all the time. And yeah, the Minimus move around a lot. Right now they are on my desk. Did a major crossover rebuild on them. Nice sounding little speakers for a desk.
Over time, you get to hear something that is more pleasing, whatever that means... And when that happens, the chase begins all over. Need? Nah. Want? Sure...
But yeah, I am quite happy with this set up:)
I intend to rebuild the Quads and finish them properly. Redo the electronics, panels and make proper legs for them. These were done as a quick fix as I got them with no feet/legs.
