19 watts per channel...

Make sure whatever speakers you attach it to are VERY sensitive otherwise it might go pop at relevantly sensible volumes.

Oi - someone's nicked the P outta my Pioneer :evil:

Will see how it sounds Cheesey ol bean, probably going on spare system in ex's kitchen so things are not going to be pushed very hard.

The Creek 4040 (or maybe its a 3030) will be relocated from kitchen to sitting room. That should keep things ticketty boo and she doesn't really do big volumes

Lucky you, my wife blew one of the main drivers in a nice little pair of Royd floor standers I have, using a combination of a Rotel RA-971 amp and some Led Zeppelin.

Not that I'd tell her but she did me a favour, as the replacement drivers sounded significantly better than the original ones.

Where did you get the replacement drivers? I've got a pair of Royd Minstrels that have sat silent for over ten years following a RATM / Yamaha incident. Should've stopped when I heard the first one go really.

I really can't remember where I got them now, but I did the usual internet searches, and then got as close to original drivers as I could.

I thought it was a bit of a shame that the Royd's had not had better drivers fitted in the first place, it would probably pushed up the price a little, but the improvements only served to show how well designed the enclosures are.

Collected it at the weekend and whaddya know - its not a SA 600 at all - its a SA 8500 mk11



Odd twin bass/treble controls which I've never seen before and currently not emitting sound although it does power on. Quick web search suggests maybe a pre/power connection inside has been removed. Will have a look later.................always was a sucker for loadsa knobs :shock:

Re: The *NOT BORING!* Hi-Fi faff and sales: Amps amps amps!!!

oooh

60w into 8 Ohms

that will be better

if it works.

as for the pre/power bit - bottom left:

Re:

Hi Mark - I was just gonna load up some more pics there too

My amp lacks those connectors between the pre and power sockets - I take it they are necessary then

Will wire in a couple of RCAs and see if that does the trick, yes?

.....or should I just bend a couple of nails?

more pics of much dust under the lid :shock: .................
