Corben, the speakers look as if they're very large. What are they?

Absolutely gorgeous! That speaker looks like a beast! I also like the pictures of the internals of the CJ. I bet you get a nice warm glow at night from all those tubes!

May I ask what kind of feet you are using with your CJ preamp? They are definitely not stock.

Hey Corbin Dallas.... Have you had both Mac and CJ tube amps? Anything you can say to describe the differences in their sound characters?

Thanks.......Peter

The McIntosh was a C28 solid state, the CJ is a tube one ! as described in my presentation thread, it's night and day, even if I keep a very good recall of the MC.
The CJ gives me opened stage and warmth.
Feets are DIY , in fact it was speakers decoupling peaks at the beginning...
