Hill Audio Speakers and amps

 

My first 'powerful' amp was a Hill TSA-1602, 1600w into 2ohms per channel. I got it cheap because one side of it was completely burnt to a crisp!

 

Amp still works to this day, sold it on to a mate years ago!

It's still working fine in one channel, but the volume control on the other channel has developed a fault. The channel itself is fine - but the faulty volume control makes it unusable 

I'd like to get it fixed but i suspect that getting it repaired would be tricky, which is a pity as is sounds pretty good and has - up to now - been very reliable.

 The repair bloke John knows his Hills, worth a call.

horns are jbl 2345

 

 

I bought them directly from Malcolm Hill after he demo'd two pairs to me in his gigantic warehouse at the back of his mansion. I was blown away by the power, clarity and immense bassline from cabs that were so shallow in size and fairly bland in appearence.

 

The above demo was powered by Malcolm's Chameleon amps which were fed by a quarter inch jack plug in the headphone socket of a knackered pioneer hifi cd player too....

 

 

I actually sold these to John Eveleigh because at the time I suffered quite a bad back injury which fortunately has gone for some ten years or so now.  Remember the M6 weighed in at 160kgs (351lbs) this made moving them a nightmare. Bear in mind that at the time I shifted them on my own with some guidance  from the wife..!  

 

We were doing a lot of "Rave" type gigs, I say Rave but basically it was a lot of wealthy guys and girls who had huge parties.  The main thing I always remember about the M6's was the fact that they never ever seemed to suffer the problem with location, ie you could use them just about anywhere in any situation and they still sounded amazing. The djs at these parties used to say stuff like, "Are you having a laugh with this sort of power".

More often than not the system was backed off as it was just to much on the dancefloor.

 

Sorry, back to the reason I have joined this forum. I'm looking into getting some more M6's as I now have younger fit guys who work for me to help move them around. It's a bit of a mid-life crisis I suppose but it has to be done. I want to try them with current day amps and processing. I need to borrow one firstly just to make sure it'll be worth it and if so I have a company who can build them for me. I'm having real difficulty finding any anywhere so if you know anyone please let me know. Theres plenty in Maryland USA still being used MHA America to good effect.

 

Kindest Regards
