You would have to go used and or vintage in that price range. I'd watch for one of the Jolida models. I saw a Jolida 502 that sold for $580 which I believe was around 40wpc. I also saw a no sale...

Thanks for the replies on this, I picked up a tweeter from Mike:biggrin:

Located in central North Dakota.......

Hi all,

Looking for one or two originals for my SDA-1C studios. Not looking for the updated replacments, but the originals. Thanks for looking.

I've read a few reviews on the Primaluna prologue 5, and their strengths point to a huge soundstage, strong bass, and smooth midrange . Sounds like a perfect match for SDA's. Also, have you...

Interesting, I also ran the Parasound P/hp-850 with my 1C's, and at the time the soundcraftsmen. I agree, mine was pretty strident also. I contribute this more to my stock tweeters with that spike...

Boywonder,

I've been running my 1C's with a vintage Eico HF-87 for the last couple of years. Prior to this with a solidstate McIntosh MC2100 - 100wpc, a solidstate soundcraftsmen PM840- 200wpc,...

I think tube vs solid state on the sda series of speakers is just a matter of taste. Mainly, I feel a good quality tube amplifier just helps my sda-1c's in midrange tone/timbre, an area where they...

Since rebuilding my Eico HF-87 to run with my SDA-1C's, I've decided to start thinning out some equipment to keep the better half happy :cool:

1st up is my Soundcraftsmen PM840 amplifier. This...

Currently running my SDA-1C's with a 35wpc Eico HF-87 tube amp with EL34's. Previously a Soundcraftsmen PM-840, 200 wpc @ 8 ohms :)

I used a homebrew tube pre using 12au7's into a 200wpc soundcraftsmen PM-840 mosfet amp with very good results. Soundstage, note decay, and timbre, especially with piano was greatly improved over a...

Before you look for a tube amp to replace your carver, you may want to consider a source change or tube dac. I was running my sda1-c's with a homebrew tube preamp into a soundcraftsmen PM-840 solid...

I think you could find a used Jolida 502 in your price range. I ran a Jolida 801 with 70wpc into my SDA-1C's, and it sounded nearly as powerfull as my 200wpc soundcraftsmen. You could always...

For the record, I went through some similar ideas with my polk sda=1c's. I originally ran them with an nad 1130 preamp into a 100wpc McIntosh MC-2100 (all solid state system). Very nice to listen...

I can't say anything about the pcr-800, but I have one of Steveinaz's old pm-840's, and the only time your hear the fan is when you push it hard. Even then it's not very loud at all. They also...

Hey everyone, Marker is taking this one. Thanks for the interest!

I've been running my SDA-1c's with the Jolida integrated 70wpc integrated and it seems to do nearly as well power wise as my 200wpc soundcraftsmen mosfet amp and tube preamp. Goes as loud as you'd...

The nice thing is it sounds as good as it looks. It beats my Mac C-28/MC2100 combo, but to be fair the MC2100 should be recapped etc. Bass drive through my SDA1C's is phenominal with the 6550...

Hello all,

I'm putting my nearly unused jolida sj-801a up for sale due to a family status change. I bought this for my mother, and recently completed my Eico HF-81 restoration which will...

Using a cd with built in volume control for the headphone and preout usually works pretty well. Depending on the input impedance of your amp, you may not get enough volume out of the cdp on quietly...

Congrats on getting your Jolida 502. I recently bought an SJ-801 from my local dealer. Since it is integrated, I thought It would have more spouse approval than running all my DIY components in our...

Early 80's, Marantz 1060, Pioneer 2 ways, and used the turntable through tape out from a Sears all in one unit with cassette receiver and turntable. Still miss that 1060, but I pawned it when the...

Looks like Cruiseaire is taking this one. Thanks for the interest everyone!

This one is stereo using two 6V6 output tubes per channel. Here's a rear pic

This is a Magnavox 6V6 tube amplifier I rescued from a 1962 vintage Magnavox console. Tube compliment is 2 Sylvania 6V6, 2 GE 6V6, 2 Magnavox branded 6EU7 for drivers, and 1 Magnavox 6CA4 rectifier...
