I know that’s not mein leben.

+ 1 is not.
Leben knobs are silver , face plate always gold with green.
I guess is maybe a Marantz modern remake of vintage equaliser " Audio Consolette ".
On the photo under First Watt J2 we get Quad 303 amplifier and on two sides Marantz Model 2

Ive listened to a Leben once ages ago and i could have sworn the knobs were gold but either way you’re probably right, its not a Leben. It’s definitely Japanese though, that style is very distinct

 

[Soundhappy]

None of Leben products Leben Hi-Fi Stereo Company have the same 9 knobs like Marantz equalizer.
Voice of the Theater speakers are highly recommended

The amps in the center also have a solid wood frame all the way round and the Leben has not. So closer to the Marantz?

Does anyone have experience with Snell Type Ci speakers and any specific Pass designed amplifiers, especially early Threshold?

Pass amps will drive anything

As long as you choose the right one for the speaker you choose. I’d hesitate to use my SIT-3 on Acoustats for instance. But one of the big XAs...

I'm finishing up an Aleph J (waiting on the boards but PS is done). Looking for a speaker kit that will do justice to the amp. I've looked at The Traveler, Philharmonic BRM, Scan Speak Rediscovery II, Morel Ziv II, Carmody Carrera. All of these have sensitivity in the 83-84 db range. I think that eliminates them? I have a sub woofer so that probably means a 2 way, Price up to about $1500. Suggestions greratly appreciated.

get damn Heresys
or Zu

ZU DWs coming back in the form of Dirty Weekend 6

My recently finished F5 does wonders with my little, 30 year old Infinity speakers. I had no idea they could sound this good. I used to doubt SS could make me feel like tube amps do but this thing reaches right into my soul with the music.

 

[planet10]

Really hard for me to generate any excitement over Zu.

Same here. Every show i went to, Zu were hard to listen to. Unbalanced and shouting.

Nelson designed a little EQ that works wonders eliminating the shout of FR drivers. I think the store should offer it!
