| The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear I recently saw a pair of Symdex speakers in the local Phila area on CL for $50. They could have been the Sigmas, I'm not sure of the exact model as Symdex's are quite rare. I quickly contacted the seller that I wanted them and can pick them up any... | |
| Sold speakers you really enjoyed?... But why? Tempting Ct, but I'm really quite satisfied and enamored with a little unknown, under the radar speaker - Paisley Research AE500's. They are quite amazing, only selling for $900 back in the day, but I swear if ProAc or Celestion made them, they co... | |
| Any Recommendations on Custom Speaker Stands? If you do a search on youtube for "Yamaha NS1000" check out the speaker stands from Kenrick Sound that are underneath the Yamaha NS1000 speakers. They are simple, unique, and look to be the right height for you. | |
| Sold speakers you really enjoyed?... But why? ProAc Studio 1's - sold b/c as a soon-to-be father, I needed baby proof speakers, and up on spiked Chicago spkr stands, they were anything but baby-proofChateau Research 1.5's - sold b/c with a young infant, I got out of audio for a few yearsTanno... | |
| Good inexpensive temporary speakers I second the ProAc Studio 1's, the early version. I had them for 5 years and always sounded great. But since they are temporary, if you really want to try something fun, Celestion C-7's or Mission 70's mk II. You can get the Celestions for about $... | |
| The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear Does anyone remember the Black Max model B50 speakers? | |
| Budget floorstading with a good waf.... Help I thought Johnnyb53 was responding to the original poster Georgelfre??? | |
| Lowend Preamp on a budget. Maybe it's the former Audio salesman in me, but when I see a thread like this, I want to know much more about all the other gear the original poster has, the room it's going to be in, what types of music he/she listens to, how loud, and what type ... | |
| What's In Your Tape Cassette Deck Tonight? I just inherited about 200 more to go with the 300+ I already own. | |
| How far have you gone? I once brought a Music Reference RM5 mkII preamp with me on a vacation from Philly to LA and then drove up the coast to SF to personally deliver it. The buyer met me in the lobby of my hotel room and then when he showed up, he asked me about a dis... | |
| How far have you gone? A 2 hour or a 75-100 mile drive is my limit to buy audio gear, but I don't spend megabucks on this hobby. If I did, I'd be willing to drive further. | |
| Best bourbon? I vote that Audiogon expand their Virtual System page to include a "Virtual Liquor Cabinet" page....seems like that's where we are heading with these Best Bourbon & Best Single Malt threads. I got the cute little $5.99 bottle of Blantons - not... | |
| Musical, high powered Amp under $1k If you can find a B&K EX442 Sonata, sweet, musical, and tube-like as all heck. I once a/b'd an EX442 Sonata against a pr of Paoli 60M tube monoblocks (8417 outputs) which is a super moded pr of Dyna MkIII's and could barely tell the difference... | |
| The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear What is that, an 845 output with a 300B input tube? I've definitely not seen anything like them. I'm quite sure they are amazing sounding as I have heard some great 845 amps, but for me, if I ever go back to SETs, I prefer the opposite - very low ... | |
