| Pioneer HPM-40 Vintage Speakers The Audiogon BLUEBOOK for used equipment relates that a used pair of HPM 100 might fetch around $290 on average. Again, the BB average pertains to items listed and sold here, so methinks your target audience is eBay. I've bought a few receivers th... | |
| Pioneer HPM-40 Vintage Speakers In my day the holy grail of Pioneer speakers was the HPM-100 model which, I think, was the largest? Frankly speaking you really don't see much of the "vintage" Pioneer/Sansui/Marantz receiver gear here, but eBay seems to have a large audience for... | |
| Upgrade Thiel CS3.6 to CS6?? stevecham...Zombie threads are fun. I've added to threads as old before I realized how old they were and, well, what the hell ...Each time another member has responded with "you realize how old this thread is?" | |
| Thiel Owners I've always been nervous about having speakers shipped so I tend to constrict my inquiries to "local" sellers. I just had a gent drive up from Tennessee to pick up a pair of Alon ll's that I had for a month - now THAT's audiophile! (But that's a... | |
| Thiel Owners arniespin...As you may have read have been an ardent proponent of the 3.5's here, recently acquiring a pair of elusive (for me) 3.6's that somehow came and went now and again until I bought a pair from Chicago. Yikes! Shipping!All the previous m... | |
| Thiel CS2 The VERY good price you mention is something that you'll find unbelievable soon enough. Thiels are truly excellent speakers, especially on the used market where the fraction of their original cost lets us mortals enjoy them. Your model is easy to ... | |
| Best speakers for Pioneer SX-1250 receiver I went to my tech with my SX1050 to see if he could put an iec to replace the wimpy stock power cord and he said it wouldn't be worth the effort. There just isn't the room sufficient to cut and modify the back. He replaced the power cord with a ne... | |
| Best speakers for Pioneer SX-1250 receiver Actually Thiel CS2 thru 3.5's would sound great with your Pioneer - I know from experience with my SX1050. My gf now has it with a pair of Meadowlark Kestrels - all purchased used here on the site. I love the Pioneers. ADS as well. Had those with ... | |
| Thiel Owners I spoke directly with Rob @ Thiel a couple of times and once told him about this thread. I don't know if he's ever even taken a gander, but I'm pretty certain he'd find our collective appreciation for the speakers enjoyable. Perhaps even kinda sca... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...TMR handled it directly. Once I attempted the procedure BAT relayed to no avail, TMR sent me a shipping label back to BAT. They then shipped another unit to me. (They had 2) All things considered there was an excellent synergy - one of ... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant...Oddly enough the tech at BAT noted that the unit I returned had been "dropped hard, onto a hard surface" causing the chassis to be bent and the led display to fail. This was not the case at all upon my receipt of it originally, something ... | |
| Thiel Owners Nkonor...My nephew still has the 3.5's without experiencing any issues whatsoever. (With the repaired mids.) Actually, only one of the mids on that pair was malfunctioning but I thought "what the heck" and had 'em both done by Rob at Thiel. Tota... | |
| Dealers That Sell Large Volumes of Used Gear Online I'll chime in here and offer another round of Kudos to The Music Room in Colorado, specifically for a guy named Karl who, when a problem arose in our transaction, managed it professionally, resolved it quickly. Very honest and trustworthy operatio... | |
| Thiel Owners nkonor...I've actually had a pair of 3.5 mids repaired by Rob @ Thiel - my first pair which are now in my nephew's possession. I'd have to scroll back through the 1800 + posts here to verify it, but the rebuild, as opposed to "repair", was $350 a... | |
| Thiel Owners So, there I was a week ago awaiting the arrival of my recertified BAT VK300XSE from Colorado...I got what I feel was a fair enough trade-in on my Simaudio Neo340iDPX2 toward the BAT, $1800 toward the $3100, so all was good there. I didn't want the... |
