Reply to "Vintage Oasis Turntable and the Pantera"

I heard these at Absolute Audio in So Calif in 1979. At the time there was nothing that sounded like them, at any price.

I came to own that very same pair some years later and planned to couple them to a set of Hartley 24" woofers (from the Mark Levinson HQD reference speakers).

Have since sold the Plasmas to a new happy owner but still have the Hartleys.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn the designer, Dr. Hill, drove around in a Pantera. He seemed just a tad ... eccentric ... splitting his time (as I recall) between laser weapons and speaker design.

And another side note on the connection with cars - Mark Levinson is now sponsoring a car in the IMSA GT Daytona class.
