Hi,
Ive been a CJ fan since the 1970s. I have CJs at work and at home. MF 2250 driving Allison 4s at work, Premier 14 PV, driving Thor TPA MkIIs with Tyler D-10s, and PV 10 BL at home, in a vintage room - my study) - McIntosh MR-71, Restored Hitachi 7500 and Allison 3 speakers. Still prefer the "old" CJ sound to all the newies............the tube preamps mate so well with ss amps, too.

Hi Dennis,
Welcome!
I had Allison 4's in college. I loved those speakers but did not understand at the time what I had in my possession. Wonderful sound.

Good to see another CT resident on here, and welcome to the site. Having CJs at work seem like quite a delight, where do I send my resume?

Yes I agree, I had a best match using my previous MF2250 with thePV8/PV10A ,also less details but more "matters" with the "old"CJ sound
what about your CD' system or turntable?

I grew up in CT myself and just spent the weekend down there visiting family. I also enjoy the earlier conrad johnson equipment. I have yet to encounter a manufacturer of electronics that you can enjoy so well even 20 or 30 years after they released the model. I used a PF-2 for awhile, and then went to the PV-12. Great stuff.
Congrats on the setup. If you have time, post some pictures in the "Member System Gallery" subforum if you have time! Once again, welcome!
