SAE Bad Boy

[stuwee]

Thought I'd share a piece of history with ya'll, back in the good ol' days when I bought my SAE system, at J&R Music World, I got to see 2 of these Bad Boys behind a plexiglass display rack in the "special" show/listening room. *drool**drool* ++ to the nth%.(Yes boys and girls, J&R had real salespersons that would let you hear stuff and sell it to you, very nice folks too!) *hypnot* They were bi-amping some speakers which I didn't remember since I couldn't tear my eyes off the amps, one came up for sale recently, I didn't even try to bid on it, notice the final bid "reserve not met" Holy Crap!! *devil* That's a 20+ year old amplifier *eyepop*http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270241439171&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=017

the thumbnails are from the net and my factory brochure I found the other day with some manuals of my SAE gear.


edit: disregard the first pic. it's late and it's nice and all, but not the SAE

Wow he must wanted a ton of money for that amp, because over 2 grand for an old amp is a lot of money.

And well worth the price of admission. You Do Not see that Warning on every day SS equipment.
Hazardous energy present, "no S**T!! *devil* shoot your butt across the room, and give you a whole new hair-do. Gives the word "respect" a whole new meaning, I was very lucky to have seen two in the flesh *eyepop*

I'd be interested in seeing some other Bad Boys! *devil*

Biggest amp I've seen online in my circle is a Rotel RB 1090 amp at 360 watts high current per channel into 8 ohms. Thing weighed over 100 pounds to lift. A friend of mine has that amp. He loves it.

Its funny how high power amps have low damping factors. Not sure on the Rotel above, but I think its low on that one too. My lower power Rotel I think is 500 though.

Yummy, I remember those, drooled of them as a youngster, beastie's from the UK:-)<-*praise*, you never see them either, I checked the SAE's Damping factors, they're different in the manual than the brochure, 155/200 respectively, I know they get a real tight grip on the 'Logans top to bottom, fast MF'rs *devil* I'll have to check what the Yamaha is.
