| Does anyone have an idea what Sansui B-1 in excellent condition is worth? If you can't find the Audiogon Blue book value, try asking on audio karma, or audio aficionado. They're more geared towards the vintage market.Prepare yourself for the fact that "rare" won't always equal high value...or even good performance. The ... | |
| Looking for repair tech in NJ / Meitner If you don't have any luck finding the A'gon member you're looking for try reaching out to Hudson Valley HiFi on the NJ/NY border in Florida, NY. Talk to Mike. It's a small shop with a great amount of skill and knowledge. I'd post a link, but I'm ... | |
| Refurbish a Dynaco St70 You got it out in under a year...by a hair. :-)Good luck with the renovation. I'm sure it'll be worth it! | |
| Powerful, smallish floorstanders with high WAF? If used speakers are an option, I'd recommend the Gemme Audio Tanto or Katana (v2) verisons. Small floorstanders with great sound and high WAF in walnut versions.These speakers put out an amazing amount of bass for a speaker of any size and are a ... | |
| Help with information on KEF 105.4 classic speakers You'll likely get more responses to your question in audiokarma's British Audio forum. There is a well documented thread of recapping 105's within, but I believe it's of the 105/2 model. You will have to pay to list them there too. | |
| Outrageous used pricing on older McIntosh Sid42, I'm of the opinion that the current perceived value of several brands (McIntosh, classic Marantz, Accuphase, etc) can be attributed to the e-auction site, but for several reasons:Dual pricing: I often see the same piece of equipment listed ... | |
| Bass driven floorstanders? If you're willing to shop in the used market, these floorstanders will provide excellent sound and ample amounts of bass for their size:Gemme Audio Tanto or Katana (v-flex transmission line cabinet). Very easy load on amp, clear sound, lots of bas... | |
| KEF Reference 107/2s + KEF LS50s So how did it go?Since the 107 heads contain their own crossover circuitry (designed to work with the kube) I have to think the crossovers in the LS50 would be a less than ideal pairing.Not that I would try it, but I am curious how your experiment... | |
| marantz 2250 Hi Corin,I responded with sources, but as expected, my post was rejected. Unfortunately, you'll just have to google it.Use the acronyms I supplied above to match with your search engine findings.I also found a restored 2245 from the same vendor I ... | |
| marantz 2250 Hi corin,Not having heard the Luxman L3, it could be a lateral move. But, if your L3 is nearing the end of its OEM life and due for a recap, now would be a good time to step into something that has been restored, like the Marantz 2250. The Marantz... | |
| Mx135 subwoofer not working??? That's a bummer Tom. It sounds like you might need to enlist the help of a service tech for this fix. Audio Classics in Vestal, NY could help you out. Give Ryan a call. These guys are extremely knowledgable and do great work. Best of luck! | |
| Great 2 channel or 4/5 channels? I'm not sure how you arrived at your statistics and percentages, but have you considered a high-end pre/pro that runs analog (no processing) for 2-channel audio? Some McIntosh units could provide the best of both worlds. Unfortunately, McIntosh in... | |
| Mx135 subwoofer not working??? I'm convinced Jafant is an auto spambot that searches for the word subwoofer, and adds irrelevant non sequiturs to REL products. Be sure to keep it posted. | |
| Mx135 subwoofer not working??? If the mx-135 is designed similarly to my mx-120, then Pure Stereo mode should output a sub signal, and 2-channel mode, no sub signal. Did you try doing a hard reset? | |
| Bookshelf Speakers with the decent bass Totem Mani-2 if you must have a bookshelf. But if you want bass, and floor standers are an option, you'll have lots more to choose from. |
