Default Rogers kit any good?


I'm being offered:

Roger A75 Panthera Amp
Rogers T75 Tuner

in a proposed swap - is this kit any good? If so, any idea of what it would
be worth, assuming fully serviceable and reasonably smart condition?

(I've no experience of it myself, but I have an inkling the tuner's fairly
well regarded??)

TIA


Ooh, while I'm on - did I mention me Lowthers have turned up just now?

So that's no more 'Oi You!' from you lot - it'll be *Mister* Oi You from now
on.....

Just been reading the instructions - *love* this bit:

"Persons fitted with heart pacemakers are advised not to handle these drive
units."

:-))

(No wonder most Yanks over 35 don't like 'em....!! ;-)

That's almost as good as the phrase "Beware - danger of amputation!" I saw
in connection with some seriously strong industrial magnets on the telly one
time!!

Did you read the reviews on the web site though? Even funnier -
especially this gem:

"Daniel has an equipment rack which is filled with good sounding
components, but there's one piece which deserves more attention: his
Behringer Ultracurve Equalizer. We used it extensively during the
listening sessions, and it was a very valuable tool. One very
important trait is that it does not alter sound in any way. It is
impossible to tell wether it is in the signal chain or not. "

More important question, now: What colour?

Gottit - 'APR' posted a link.

I hadn't seen that, I don't read 'Lowther reviews' - too much baggage, too
much 'side' ('shouty' &c.).....

More to the point - "Persons with weak hearts should not look at the
frequency response curves of these drive units".

(No wonder most Yanks over 35 don't like 'em....!! ;-)


Actually, it is the Yanks under 85 who can still hear high frequency
shrillness and roughness, that don't like 'em.

I can see a graph for a PM6A in an infinite baffle and a DX3 somewhere, I
didn't any graph for an EX3 in a backhorn...???

Does your use of *bold* mean you will be *shouting* from now on, after
you decide the sound lowthers make is normal?
