| Subwoofer Does this thread mean we're not far from subwoofers moving from the "Home Theater" category and into the "Speaker" Category here on Audiogon? ;-) | |
| Ayon "Best of Show 6 years etc" When is enough ENOUGH? Eight. Eight is Enough. Sorry...I couldn't resist. As brick and mortar shops continue to disappear, I have a feeling the vendor listings here will only increase. I appreciate the hard sell listing titles, since they make it easier to spot and pass... | |

| 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 ... | |

| 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... |
