Classic Hifi Care

Hello all, But won't be in California until spring, Hydro

My goodness, Hydro, what a deal! A big Imperial, a gutted little Imperial and two extension speakers. At a more than reasonable price. You couldn't pass that up. I hope you can score this stuff. Good luck.....

Hello Greg, I don't know the difference between the big and little imperial. Is it the year or the style ?

The style is the difference. The big Imperial was in a 56" cabinet, the little Imperial in a 50". The big Imperial had bi-amps, usually the 81 series, the little Imperial had the 93 series. I have a little Imperial on my bucket list. The little Imperial was basically a Symphony with horns. They used the little Imperial cabinets on the mid-level Stereo Theater instruments. This made a more compact, but extremely crowded cabinet.

Unless you are like me and have a late production Symphony which has 12" woofers and horns. I always get the odd stuff.

I'd like to have the external speakers....

These late 50s Magnavox treasures are unheard of in the northeast it seems.

I'm lucky just to see the ones using the 93 series amp I suppose
