Shopping at Goodwill anyone?

I check out Goodwill a couple times a month for CD's . the audio equipment is not much to speak of ...until today. I saw this pair of Yamaha NX-E150 bookshelf speakers. All wood thick cabinet, 4.5" coned woofer and 1" tweeter.  I picked them up and they felt pretty substantial by weight.  hum...$6.99 each what do I have to lose.  Got home and set them up , put on my favorite B S and Tears SACD and WOW!  I was blown away...great imaging and soundstage.  They sound 4x as big as they are!   Happy Hunting today!

I got a pair of Large Advents for a dollar at Goodwill, got a working Fisher 400 tube receiver for $30.00. Unclaimed repair at small town electronics store. It’s not a rip off if the seller doesn’t know what he has.

Is it heresy to talk about Goodwill on a high end audio forum?  

Speaking of heresy, I'd love to find a pair at Goodwill.

I'm just happy to see I'm not the only one. Still looking for gold, though.

At least twice a week. I do the rounds throughout the town. I have got a couple of good deals on SACD players and cables, but only one of the cables is currently being used. I passed on an early pair of Vandersteens because $300 is a lot to get back in credit if they didn’t work. I am not sad I passed them up.

As for music... too many to list.

mapman: I bought a pair of Heresy's at my local CT GW for $25! Over the years I found many hi-fi bargains at that store! One time I arrived just a few minutes too late and missed buying a pair of JBL 77's! A particularly good score was a pair of JBL 640's for $48!
