I did Brooklyn jury duty in 87, wasted a week of my life. THE WIZ had a store 2 blocks away, and i spent lunch checking out every speaker system. Bought the best I found - AD PS-8's for $500. They had won speaker of the year either that yr or 86. Soon after, I found these as the studio bookshelf pair in 3 different recording studios, because they really were the best at that price range and size. I directed a film in '99, and an asst moved mine, punctured one mid-range - yes, she was fired, LOL. The company went under, I thought. NOW I will reach out to SIGNET, as my BOSE didn't please me as much, neither has SONY. I was thinking KLIPSCH, but very pricey...
Any info on Design Acoustics?
I'm certain they're not the sort of high-end speakers most folks here listen to but I thought someone might be able to tell me if they're considred to be of at least middling quality.
The ones I have are bookshelf speakers (PS-55) I know I didn't spend much money on them when I bought them in the early 90s but looking at them last night I was surprised that they sounded pretty good and the overall quality seemed to be at least better than the Sony bookshelfs I've got.
My plan is to use them with a mico stereo system to replace the powered speakers that came with my computer.
They sound pretty good to me and I know that's all that really matters but I'm just curious to find out if I may have actually made a good purchase back before the age of the internet when sales people were taking even more advantage of me than they do today.
Thanks for any help.
