My Fisher XP66c Speakers Went To The Dump Today


A very sad day. I've had them since 1979 - almost 40 years - and they were still working when I trashed them. And they weren't new when I got them. They were at least third hand.  Sure, they had a few dings and smushed corners, but they still sounded pretty good as long as you didn't crank 'em. And you could still polish up the veneer to a respectable sheen.

I used them until I got the Magnapans in the 80s, and then they became the bedroom system. And they outlasted the Magnapans by a long time. 

I tried to sell them, I tried to give them away, but no takers. So here's to Avery Fisher and the XP series. He knew how to build a really good small speaker.

That's strange. I don't know where you live, but I'm in Arizona and Goodwill takes electronics at all of their stores here.

You couldn't give them away? What about Goodwill or Salvation Army.

Why would you throw them away?
