C Audio SR 707 indeed is a beast of an amplifier,but because of the weight and the age of the amplifier plus the lack of mainteinance over years..most of them are proper done and people run from them....me on the other hand i wish to get my hands on one of them Big smile top of that...the almost lack of lateral fets nowdays and the price of one...makes you think twice before you buy a SR 707 Big smile

Wonder why no one mentioned the CAudio SR707 if the 5050 was no good...

Just my 2 pence worth. As much as I like old amps, I wouldnt want to use the cs1000 on sub, when there are better alternatives at similar prices.

Some time ago, a mate and myself ran 8 scoops off 4 x sr707 each bridged into a pair of scoops and it was devastating. In quite a big old building people were complaining of having dust in their beer.
In bass no one can hear you scream!

Yes - but I can't always choose what comes in for repair. Most things now have switched PSU's.  Ouch

To be honest i run far away from smps's,just hate them,not suitabile for PA,we all know that smps tech is old as hell...not something new at all...smps where in amps even in 1980's...but nowdays we need 20kw of power to manage 100 ppl in a 40mp square place...i prefer to buy or build expensive speakers with high spl and use nice AB power amplifiers up to 3kw rather than buy 20kw power amplifier and two tones of useless 70db/1w/1m speakers LOL so no smps's for me LOL

Yes - I've also considered using a variac, but not too sure how well  that would work with some of the more modern SMPSU's.

I just like the simplicity of the light bulb thing.   Smile

Indeed the old method with incandescent light bulb works well,i did use it long time ago,but now i ran them thru a power supply stabilizer very sensitive,so any problem with the amplifier the power supply will trip off in no time,never had a problem with this method so far :) also i still have somewhere the light bulb LOL just in case LOL

"i don't even plug an amp that old in socket before i do a full restore to it"


Or use something like this:-





200W incandescent in series with power. I also have a "bigger" jobbie with a 300W halogen in the workshop. 

If I have to plug in anything unknown or possible dodgy, I'll use these to avoid unexpected smoke & tears. Works really well.   LOL

Or try adding a couple more speakers to the same load at 10-15 ohm,  see if it's louder in db

The cs800x has much more mid clarity than the 1000 for the .5db difference or less.  The double slew on a bridged 1000 vs a stereo 4050 is not a really fair test.  Awesome amps,  10 years ago could be snapped up for £50 in good condition
