Do you own it, Hydro? ;) ;)
A good leader is someone who can tell you where to go, and make you look forward to the trip.

Never allow someone who has done nothing to advise you on anything.

That one has the AMP-182. Mine has the 8100 series amp. Have you been following my project, trying to find where the bass response escaped from mine? I still haven't found it.... ;)

Congratulations! This is why I'm glad that I'm not on Facebook. Keeps me from seeing the Marketplace!

I wish my Imperial was that cabinet style instead of French Provencial. That is one gorgeous piece of furniture.

Wow I can just imagine seeing that, in an otherwise ordinary 1959 house, how that would set off any decor. Truly a pretty instrument, thanks for sharing.

I am so jealous, Hydro. I love the way my Imperial sounds, won't trade it for anything, but so wish it was that cabinet. That is one gorgeous piece of furniture.
