In Reply to: Re: Anyone familiar with Bedini or Counterpoint amps ? posted by Steve on March 11, 1999 at 04:48:06:
I forgot to mention what I know about the company/the man. I bought my Bedini amp new from a dealer in Woodland Hills, CA, for $888 back in 1982. I visited John Bedini at his factory in Sylmar, CA. My impression was that this was a pretty small company and John was a bit of a huckster, selling products with buzzwords ("positive feedback", "diode emitter", "ionic guides", etc.), but his amp sounded decent and civilized on my Vandersteens at the time and was reasonably well-made (47 lb. and quite attractive with gold accents and brass handles on a black finish). A project he was working on at the time was rebuilding TO-3 transistors: grinding open the back of the metal cases and filling them with a "proprietary" damping compound (draw your own conclusions). Since then, John moved his company to the Midwest (Iowa?) and made a mark with his CD Clarifier. I don't know if he still manufactures amps/preamps.
