    Couldn't have sounded that good, he's mixing SL3000's in the 1.2TL's with SL2000's in the rest.

    Every time I see a private listing, I am a bit skeptical. They are always for nice things and always have very few bids and get real low prices. Why would someone do a private listing?

    Yeah, I'm sure it sounded absolutely horrible...lol :rolleyes:

    C'mon now. I'm sure it still sounded absolutely awesome...despite not being perfectly matched.;)

    Of course I do...but even still, I would have to hazard a guess that that system still sounded a bit better than your average HTIB...despite the fact that he mixed SL3000's and SL2000's.

    I'd be glad to own that setup myself. ;)

    Granted, I'm sure it would sound better with all matching tweeters...but it can't have sounded that bad.

    There are plenty of HT setups out there that aren't perfectly timbre matched, and still sound fantastic.

    I stand corrected. I wasn't able to clearly see all the tweeters in his first auction and I thought one pair were 1.2TL's, but I now see that he has replaced some of the SL2000's with SL3000's and that they are 1.2's.

    Sorry Curt, it's worse than first thought.

    It looks like the passive's are pretty beat up on a couple of the speakers also from first glance, hard to tell without better pictures though.

    Curt forgive Jesse he he is of the belief that one pair of speakers that have all the correct drivers and that are well taken care of will sound better than a hodge podge of multiple speakers and drivers that arent :p



    REGARDS SNOW
    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    :eek: Sounds like this deal is getting worse. He's going to have a hard time selling frankensteined speakers to Polkies who know better...
