    Older Dali speakers to consider.. others? used market bargains.

    Greeting, I'm looking for some used (last 20 years or so) small towers 3' or under (slim is good) and/or some stand mounts. I was think Dali might be a good search, anyone recommend something? Never heard Dali though.. I'm in the Seattle market, and stuff pops up. Ive heard great things...

    Help in new speaker choice please!

    Greetings! I have acquired, a new to me, power amplifier, a 20 year old Pass Labs X150. This is a step up for me.. and right now I'm running some NHT VT-A1 speakers and a Martin Logan DEPTH subwoofer. This amp is pretty outrageous for sonic purity and power (for me anyway) I think my speakers...

    Custom Speaker Boxes Harman Kardon Model Forty

    Custom Speaker Boxes Harman Kardon Model Forty

    I picked up a pair of HK Tens today, and after a bit of playing them, and loosening up the drivers (everything covered in dust). I'm super impressed. They have great tone, dynamics (weight with sub) and unusual separation, or clarity of each instrument. Impressive! Solid 5 bananas...

    Acoustic Research AR-215PS worth 20 bucks????

    I want to throw in my two cents about this little AR speaker. If working correctly I think they're wonderful. Some music, you need a sub. But for well-recorded jazz they're just fine on their own. They even did deeper than the rated spec. People that haven't liked them probably have used them...

    Tube ID, help please! plus bonus Farside pics

    What peaked my interest in the 7025 tube was this comment on TDPRI.com I don't know how accurate the info is though.. Quote: NOS tubes can offer a bounty of sonic pleasure to those who choose to experiment with them and evolve their sonic palette to "recognize and appreciate" what they can...

    Tube ID, help please! plus bonus Farside pics

    I was thinking maybe GE too. Now here's another question... Do you think these companies that did rebranding on tubes, would take a regular 12ax7 tube, and put 7025 on it, not caring about being truthful. Anyone run into that type of BS with rebranders??

    NHT Fans, opinions Wanted.

    Sweet! I.would like to hear them..$50s a great deal.too.. Being 56, I get the discount at Value Village, I think it's also called Savers in some parts of the country. I had a good summer and fall for speaker buying at the thrift stores this year for some reason. It's pretty slow right now...

    NHT Fans, opinions Wanted.

    Greetings! I picked up a pair of NHT VT-1a speakers at Gooodwill about a month ago. Well, I'm glad I got them, they were $60.00 so they didnt give them away, but not too much $ either. I got them home, and now they are my current faves. They just work in my room. They have these 4.5" woofers...

    Dynaco A-25's. How do they stack up against today's bookshelves?

    I had a guy bring a pair over to test an amplifier he was going to buy from me. And I thought they were great! The best? No. But they were good speakers and I could enjoy listening to them and not get into a big tizzy about the sound. I could enjoy the music. I thought they were Musical. If I...

    ADS Opinions please

    I've had a couple of the 780s the first one and the second version. Now this is just my opinion, but I thought they lacked Dynamics. They have good tone and decent detail, but I think there are a lot of modern speakers, that have the benefit of computer modeling that will defeat them. Just my...
