I have the 770"S" There Fantastic
Oh, they play music all right, grab it by the scruff in a manner quite beyond the capability of a soggy old Spendor!
However, probably not the choice for more genteel genres.
Unmodified, and with inappropriate amps upstream, eg Olive Naim and, wierdly, Cyrus, they could strip wall paper at 50 paces.
That famous 770 II one note bass.
I hope you’ll do it very soon and try it out with a certain KSA50. After repair.One of these days I'll get a round tuit and drag mine out for their first use in 20 years!
I remember the review that started that myth.That famous 770 II one note bass.
770S is the best version...
I remember the review that started that myth.
I've got three systems now, Quad/Gradients, Mission and JR149. The bass on the Mission is very distinctive, it doesn't sound like the other two, or as far as I remember like other speakers I've owned.
In fact the whole sound, the tone, of the Mission is a different thing from anything I've had before.
With the mission, with just a Quad 303, I can hear the room that the music’s being played in - the height, the walls. It’s very strange. For small vocal pieces (I’m listening to a renaissance mass sung with just four singers as I type) it’s amazing really.
