Get them installed post haste and let the break-in period begin.

Very, very nice amp!

Classic Tones, nice. Just to be sure, this PT is in the SR and not your Pro Reverb?

Thanks!

:wink:

The above pictured Classic Tone is in my Super reverb (pulls 482VDC :shock: ).

I also have a Classic Tone in my DeLuxe Reverb and Mercury Magnetics in the Pro Reverb.

:wink:

The AB763 Super Reverb is spec'd at 460 VDC to the plates so 482 volts is just about right.

It took a while for the speakers to fully break-in. :mrgreen:

This set up is a sweet one now, with the speakers being 93.84db each and not ridiculously loud at lower volumes.

Great bottom frequencies, usually kept below 5.

Very responsive and great sounding speakers indeed. :lol:

Very nice. How heavy is the amp, compared to the original speakers?


Thanks!

Good question because the Super Reverbs are not known for their grab and go-ability!
