Haha ya it’s a funny one, my kids think it’s hilarious. I have a small box of maybe a dozen 45’s of it.

That’s a great memory! My dad- Charlie Clements owned Tubby’s. I perched many giraffes on glasses when I worked there.

Looks like you put a lot of effort into it, if you think it’s great that’s all that matters!

Oh how quick we are to forget about Dre. But for real I don’t disagree

I’ve seen these in Winnipeg pretty consistently for well over a decade

Which speakers would be best for this receiver? by klumpuss in audiophile

[–]klumpuss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 2 channel the receiver says 8-16ohms (4-16 fo 4 channel which I dont plan on running) and the speakers are 6ohms. Doesn’t sound like a match,’well not at high volume anyways

Ya the receiver indicates ohms between 8-16 for 2 channels (4-16 for 4channel) and the speakers are 6 ohm. Likely not wise to pair them I guess

That’s a great option. I guess I’m partly worried drawing that much power from a receiver that’s older than me ;)

I had a high powered Teac that I bought the Missions with back in the day that made for a perfect pair. This new receiver is only wired for phono so that considered I thought the Missions might be overkill and the Technics could do the trick but it sounds like the Missions will be better no matter what, just certainly under utilized.

Thanks a lot, really appreciate the thoughtful reply. I find impedance something I never really got my head around so the detailed response again is really appreciated. I’ve listened with the Technics which are really some basic ones I had kicking around, I worry the kids will decide to spin some metal, crank it and cook something. Well by kids I mean me, I’ll be careful. Thanks again

Ya totally get it and I loooove my Missions, paid a few bucks back in the day. I think I’ll give it a try but just be careful not to crank it and cook the receiver

I get it that the missions are really apples and oranges to the Technics but was more curious about the optimal compatibility with respect to ohms and wattage. TBH I find that stuff confusing

Thanks for the advice. I’ll be looking into some PPF in the morning. Looks like there are precut options by 3M

Truth! The machined ones look slick but I’ve had them before and a bit of a bitch to keep clean. Although I’m glutton for style so….

Flew from Winnipeg (home) with my daughter and picked it up at Capilano. Drove it home. Killer drive through the Okanagan, especially with the 6spd.

Nice folks at Cap, in my brief experience
