Zap's or LP's are good choices. Same with old PPI's or Orion. My old skool amps of choice are Alpines and that's what I'm going to be using.

 

lol, I still have two pair of OZ-130 5.25" midrange new in boxes. Never seen power.

 

This is all starting to make me think we need to do an updated "What gear do you have stockpiled in your closet" thread!


"TheBoy" - any photo's of those Carvers?

OP: Sorry to get off topic...

Please carry on!

 

horny! loves dem green chicklets. Alpine should do a limited edition head unit designed to resemble the 7909 or 7390 tape deck, but with optical, ai net, usb, ipod, and 24 bit dacs...minus the amp, cross overs, and eq...and put the 6 chicklets on the right side!! sweet

 

DROOL!!!! I used to dream about owning one of those when they first came out....

Which Alpines?

 

^ 3545, 3539, that era. The best looking ones IMO.

 

One thing I always wondered about old school . . . Why didn't they have power terminals on them? I think all of the old-school amps I encountered had the power wire, ground wire and remote wire built right into them - just like the above pick of the Linear Power . . . that wasn't just LP, I remember Alpine, and Kenwood doing the same . . . and a few years ago I saw an old school High-end amp like that too - It was either a McIntosh or a Nakamichi . . . I can't remember which though.

 

ahhh yes all this old skool make you want to put on the parachute pants and start dancin to 'cant touch this'

 

No it doesn't.....

Stick with your Diet Pepsi.....you could hurt yourself doing that dance......

 

none of this gear is as old as BigRedGuy, he probably remembers reading about all these peices prior to them even hitting the market.
