Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money?


This is the place to share. Please no shills.

A Sony XA5400ES CD/SACD player I bought as a close out direct from Sony with a 2 year extended warranty for $400.  Was $1600 new and a raved Stereophile component.
Yamamoto a08s power amp.

Line magnetic 518 integrated amp

line magnetic 515 CD player/dac.
Pair of Belle Klipsh in walnut for $500 and change
at an auction house!  Early 2000's and who wants these behemoths in their house?! In rural Hawaii, no one even knew what they were.
One guy drove from the other side of the island to bid. He got the K-horns for a similar price as I ran out of $ at about $550.  Oh, I also got a pair of fixerup Mcintosh Mc2300's for $75. Never finished them but got one running for a while.
Stupid good..... yeah, these are mine B&W DM2a's which I bought for just 75,- Euro.
They sound incredible.
Important when you choose speakers: you must not get tyered. Checking: use dixyland music. Due to the mix of instruments you can check how prominent these are specific in low volume range. Note: Most speakers will perform quite good on higher volumes.

Have fun!
