Fabulous we are indifferent about what hi fi says about the fatman speakers. We love them, we have them on sound style stands filled with sand and they honestly look good and sound good.. to us
Husband runs a Rotel CD player through it and we in love with the sound. Donald Fagen 3 CD's sound great The only bug bearer is and its a big one
The valves themselves your very aware of them.
we have no cover on ours.
Where as our Rotel amp stays on permanently 24/7.
Husband feel the fatman has to be turned of at night, Because he thinks the valves will last longer. Deserve some respect. Dusting round it too one has to be careful not to burn yourself
