Listening through my Outback’s Harmon Kards and it comes through nicely. You can tell this combo sounds sweet. Very full and rich. Crisp but not piercing highs not fatiguingly bright. It’s through a phone but, damn!

The forums are saying 80Hz or 100Hz cut offs. I believe that 100 would be better after looking at the speakers slope at the bottom end, but either will be better. Of course, you will need to change the subs crossover to blend it right. Try both, and let us know

Do you hear any hiss/noise from this amp? Why I'm asking, I have very sensitive speakers.

Why do you don't play to hear the music to know it's quality..really your commentary don't make us believe what you say Sound is very nice, unless we hear the music and measure it's quality... without playing the speaker what hell are you doing with this video to ear money from this viewers.

Just put my order in with Kenny. I’ve been eyeing an ST-70 for a long time for my collection but, never pulled the trigger. Now I’m going down the tube hifi rabbit hole. Never owned a tube unit but, I’ve done my research on the Dynaco. I’m glad I waited and found your page. Kenny’s work looks to be unmatched. Until I can get a tube preamp, I’m going to use my McIntosh MA6200 for the ST-70 as a preamp. It’s Solid State. This is a topic with not too much info. Most say the tube preamp is the match which makes sense. Some say it’s fine and will enhance the tube amp. Others say there might be an issue. I’m wondering until I can get the PAS3 from Kenny in the future, how will this combo affect the true tube sound. My vintage McIntosh is very warm. I hope it complements the ST-70. Tube power amp with a solid state preamp. Any thoughts on this topic?

How come all of these REL review videos never test the speakers so we can hear how they sound ? It’s a subwoofer, why can we never hear what it sounds like ? Lol 😂why

What about the “floor lamp” grade speaker cables ? That’s another bottleneck for sure

How does this stack up to your ST-70?

Probably nit-picking but a couple times I heard, "based on the original circuit" but the ST35 shown has a choke in it and the ST70 has different driver tubes (not 7199) so not exactly original - I suspect that copper thing on the ST70 is a silicon rectifier, as well? Maybe not, but it aint a 5AR4. Overall, however, nice video and very interesting. Thanks.

working behind the studio audio console for so many years on all kind of programs and live musical shows i just can tell that this f18 things sound exactly as it comes out from the mixers , sound is thick as reality... still looking por the best speaker .. this is really close..

Thank-you for the Album recommendation. It sounds great!

Wow a audio review with music... Brilliant!

If tye LRS+ were the same price in Europe as in the States, I would buy them, but they are a pack MORE than TWICE the price here!!! 😮

Thanks for sharing. Nice vintage system! Not chasing resolution, but musicality on this one, i appreciate your perspective. Any digital noise pickup from the CD player to the turntable? Easily defeated my powering the CD off during vinyl replay. Thats what i do anyway. So you also have an OB system? Agreed that Music is an emotional & spiritual experience. If the system gets these reactions its good enough, right? (Let the designers & robots listen to measurements;-)

I love the color on those klipsch speakers very nice😎

What do you think about the MTX AAL speakers 15 inch woofers 4 way or 5 way speakers??

Is it possible to connect this amp somehow to stereo integrated amp to drive passive subwoofer?

Smooth like butter…

Have you heard the Parks audio kit and Gillespie Designs board kit in the ST-35?

Great video on Bellari PA550. Trying to do the same connections to use both Bellari & Mani to listen to CD’s but not coming up with the same results. What are your connections for your equipment to listen to CD’s? My set up is as follows: Bellari PA 550 is set on CH2 1. Shiit Mani output connected to Bellari PA 550 Input 2 2. Bellari PA 550 output connected to Receiver input Line 1 You mention in your video a DAC and Blu Ray. How is this all set up to listen to CD’s? Also what other Phono Pre Amp to you use to connect your turntable? This must be separate from your Bellari & Schiit Mani. Thanks

Great video! Who are we listening to?

My man! 🍻

Cool vibes with nice camera panning .

Yeah, I was just looking at that review and I think he did a good job explaining the different speakers and what-not. I actually want to do another review to talk about his review.

Very sweet! My favorite setup of all the "Audiophile" TH-cam posters. Even Guttenberg is showing us his ST-70 today! If I can ever score some Hereseys I'll be right there with you.

Nice vibes...

I have two 1971 JBL 6020 200 watt amps to drive my subs at 70 pounds each I'm pretty sure these things could power the ISS. I've given up trying to understand watts because they are not all created equally.

Where did you get that wood case for the sys

Peace! No exaggeration in your vid.The thrift store that I frequent usually slaps $40 on any and every silver face. I walked in and spotted the 950 and was ready to pay the 40. The unit was $19.99. Besides the dust, looks like it just came out of the box. Inside out. I'm a Sansui fan but I love my 950 with cds through aux. Check out this album, Dorothy Ashby's Afro Harping.

I have old RCA tubes they sound great in the ST70. I have an original circuit and a buddy had the upgraded front board. Both sound great with Heresy, Cornwall and k-horns. Full body sound.

Just use a PS2 tv style remote and dongle. Works perfectly

The effect of adding the sub to the Magnapans is amazing and you can hear it even through the video. Without the sub, the piano is very present and in the room but the bass is in the background. Adding the sub brings the bass player into the room as well. Amazing what a small sub can do.

I was going to buy the Forte 1 in 1987 BUT got an absolute killer deal on Polk SDA-1c's. Never regretted the Polks but always yearned for the Forte's and 37 years later I just picked up a pair of Forte IV's. I haven't played them yet played I'm hoping they make me happy. the SDA1C's have new crossovers and upgraded tweeters. The soundstage on those SDA's is unmatched IMO. Anyway....I blew the 5,000.00 on the new Klipsch Forte so we'll see.

Please name 3 sonic features that the phono stage in the PAS3 preamp does exceptionally well. Your video as it is does not provide enough information for me to get interested in this preamp or to know why it is special.

Nice, no-nonsense system. Great choice of music. I have never owned a DAC and never figure I will. I guess that the designers aren't going to put some junk in a CD player they create. DACs are probably a great way to suck more money out of audiophiles.

Great stuff but Kenny does not ship to. the UK so :-( .

OB sounds amazing, the other 2 sound recessed and muddy, bass sounds disconnected

Pretty nice to hear the open baffle design against the others. I genuinely feel the other were "BOXY" muffled in comparison. The Forte was sounding better than the Heresy IV's (over my office speaker!) still the size you have to go up to for a decent open baffle is a factor I'm fearing will make them less obatinable for me :(

Super Test!😊Thank you

It is weird yea

St35 better sound n more details...

Hi! I noticed you said he didn't say which speakers? At 22:43 there is a popup " 206di ", i checked and found Clements 206di Loudspeakers so I wondered if you missed this?

Bruh, I have the Forte 1’s. I probably overpaid. I bought a used set, in pretty good condition for $1,250. I too power with a small 2.3W amp from Decware. Mine are a little lean in the low end, so I pair with a sub and that combo sounds phenomenal. I’m looking to have mine reveneered to match the African Paduck wood on my amp.

Again well said. Subscribed even though i am not a tube listener. Thanks

I watched that review a few weeks ago. I thought the review was really good and well thought out. it crossed my mind about the set up details, but I figured its his video and he should do it the way he wants. Maybe leaving it a mystery was the intent. :)

He was reviewing amps, not speakers? why do you feel you need to know what speakers he used? Maby he is happy with this speakers and try to find the best amp for them in his system?

Cute pooch…

If only I would get $1 every time an audio-splainer said "basically" 🤔. Acid Jazz, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉🔊

i can't hear the sound where is it
