"They thought we were too loud, but shoot, I had four army blankets folded over my amp, and the volume level was on 2. I'm used to playin' on 10!" S.R.V.
Sorry I should have indicated what it is. It's the inside of a deHavilland Model 222 tape playback electronics during a fairly recent tube exchange.

"Electronic music is human sound adapting to indulge technology, and for some, it feels like the signature sound of energy. New and abstract sounds over hypnotic rhythms can conjure vast soundscapes for escape, pleasure, and transcendence."
Those are beasts! Is it original Mondale (sp) or Klipsch era?
It is the Klipsch era 8008 mkii which is electronically the same as the 8008bb from Mondial...just upgraded aesthetics. I'm really digging this amp with the 1.2tl's. I think the amp is even larger in person than it looks in pictures online.
Let me know if you ever want to move it down the road.

It’s already found a new home with a friend of mine. Great amp to be honest, don’t pass one up if you get a chance at one at the right price. Probably my second favorite amp behind my pass labs. I still want to try out a set of Palladium monoblocks if I come across a set.

I have one of the little Advent Dolby B NR units... I can't remember the model number offhand. 'twas a dump find (of course); I've never actually tried it -- come to think of it. I'll drag it out & snap a piccie or two anon (if & when circumstances permit).

ummm... uhhh... profoundly modified PAS, PAS-2, or PAS-3 @KennethSwauger?

It looks very cool!
