@decooney definitely not a "spec hunter" but was more so just trying to figure out a little about them.  I have not seen anything online with any detail at all.  Thanks!

@decooney thanks for the info - actually I do not own these yet but am looking at a pair used and just cannot find any info about them.  Specs? Are they really good speakers?  OK?  Not so hot, etc..... The ones I am looking at seem to be in reall...

Anyone familiar with ESS PS-9C's?  Hard to find any info on the so far....thanks!!  
RBH Speakers
@audiotroy also, with better/more modern electronics, in your opinion good speakers for 2 channel stereo?  The asking price is $120 for the pair, very clean/in good shape, etc.  Thanks!

@audiotroy Peachtree Nova 150?  
RBH Speakers
… And for a little more information, I am planning to use them for two channel stereo. They would likely be driven by either a Sansui AU -D7 or a NAD C375 BEE. The area would be in a midsize living area about 16 x 20 thanks again!

@soix  thanks for the note, great information to have. On my way to pick them up now for $200. Quick question, was your comment specific to the model mentioned above or the brand in general?   Thanks again!  John  
Plugging rear ports of "bookshelf" speakers?
Recently bought a pair of Ascend Sierra 1 bookshelves and then bought their brand port plugs, one set open and one closed.  Need to play around with them to find the best sound....they are quite small speakers but so far are pretty impressive....d... 
Great song by the Clash
I caught the first wave of punk in 77 and love it to this day. As for the Clash, their earliest stuff is still my favorite including the S/T LP and Give Them Enough Rope. The DKs version of IFTL is solid but I do like the Clash version better.    ... 
KEF LS50 Meta
OK, so I kept shopping and ended up buying some pristine Ascend Sierra 1’s locally and am testing them out now. So far, they sound great. I may still get the KEF’s...need to think that over a bit while listening to the Sierras......

Old post but good timing for me...just bought the speakers and am testing them out through my NAD C375 BEE...so far, sounds awesome!!
