I have had this speaker for more than 15 years now, having had the sound stuck in my head in the late 80's. This speaker still walks on the heights of time today and provided it is a very capable power amp that has the TL 500 in its grasp, you really have to dig deep into your pocket to top the experience today. Oh yes, it also responds very strongly to good cabling, mine is running at peak form with a Wireworld Eclipse III on an Arcus power amp.
