"PS: How old are your 509's? Since I saw you had a pair, I've become quite keen on investigating them further. I assume they've been undergoing regular upgrades over the years?"I'd assumed that they would need the caps upgrading but no such thing (they're around 15 years old) when you consider that some of the very best recordings were made many moons ago with old valve equipment; resolution isn't lacking to put it mildly.
The only upgrade I've made is to cut the mains lead off an inch from chassis and fit an IEC connector to accept aftermarket cords; JPS mains leads seem to do just fine.
In a nutshell the 509s are 'live' with a superb midrange and bass depth/quality that far outstrips SS of the same spec. I can't recommend them enough and in fact I just picked up a used pair of 519's (almost identical to the 509s) in order to bi-amp my Revels, the result is outstanding and the system's hardly been off during the holidays.
I did a review some time ago in the Asylum's own 'Review' section.
Best Regards,
Chris redmond.
