| Not manufactured any more. For the "AR" fans here. These AR90s were fairly unique. There were some larger ones I recall that I cannot locate yet. Looking... | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers @cowan217 Congratulations on securing a pair of Sabrinas and experiencing a good transaction. Glad it worked out and you found a good dealer to work with. If you don't mind the ask, or I missed it, what amplifier(s) are you planning to use to d... | |
| Not manufactured any more. Not sure about desirability, or sound, some other odd and unique speakers from the past of Pioneer too. Made in Japan. Pioneer CS-T7300 | |
| Not manufactured any more. @oldhvymech "BUT I found these I don’t know if they are duped on this thread or not.." ------------------------------------------------------------ oldhvymech, ahhh, Sansui SP-5500 speakers. Fairly rare, more info here. https://www.hifien... | |
| Not manufactured any more. Anyone remember the unique wood SS-M speakers Sony made for a while. SS-M3, M7, M9?. Sounded pretty nice as I recall. I preferred the mid level model SS-M7 3-way quite a bit. Higher quality appeal to them in person when they came out. ... | |
| Not manufactured any more. @audioguy85 The Jensen System 400 and 500....value for money and fantastic sound. Indeed...and a few pics of the Jensen System 500..., and hey what's that rear firing thing-ma-bob tweet on the top back side? 😆 | |
| OK-- I think I get it, now... [@boxer12] Decooney, You can be both a music lover & a audiophile. They are meant to go together. Woah. Not sure what I was thinking. Hmm, I'll get to work on that. Thanks for the tip. :) All joking aside, most of my 50+ year in a... | |
| Not manufactured any more. To [@oldhvymech], Interesting. Not sure where this photo came from, I went to a PAP listening session years back and heard these same units. It was an evaluator rep here in NorCal, he had the same hard floors and drapes to the side :) The speakers... | |
| OK-- I think I get it, now... @stuartk hopefully after you are past the point of listening to components and sound, you'll get back to being a music lover. A great place to start and end. | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers @ghasley "Buy the new speakers, sell yours on your own." Exactly. The dealers are in business to make a profit. That’s how they exist. And, you have to ask yourself what’s in it for them, too. Driving out, sending out two people, doing a Pick-u... | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers Sometimes when things get too complicated, or become overly time consuming to figure out with "endless conversations", attention goes elsewhere. | |
| RCA interconnect recommendation @stuartk fwiw I obsessively test both inter-mixed and identical cables end-to-end from sources, to preamps, to amps. In different types and orders too. While each cable is "not supposed to have a signature" according to some folks self guided rul... | |
| RCA interconnect recommendation @stuartk ...This may make it more difficult to choose between the Silver and Copper cables. We'll see. . . Good point and agree with your suggestion. It can be system dependent, and results can vary. While I have both in other brands I went... | |
| Not manufactured any more. @jdoris "...Gallo series. Could sound very good indeed, and at very reasonable price point, esp. by the standards of today’s hobby. I briefly had a pair of 3.5s or 3.6s, but could not get them to sing with the 30wpc amp I was running. I expect t... |
