in Vintage Speakers
Before any one slaps my hand I think I did alright. At 1st he wanted $150 and over the phone I said that's not a real world number. I said $80 to hundy if the condition was ok. It was not. What you saw in the ad shiny wood grain and clean looking was not the case. More cash off, grills were not living room presentable, vinyl rosewood wrap and a few scratches not to mention non consecutive serial numbers and broken grill posts on 1 led to $60 final price. I already cleaned them up w/ windex and they shined right up. Sonically they sound just fine, not overly bass heavy but enough to over power my ADC 303ax and the AAL 81/2-708zgh8r1dhv.jpg

    Randy, I swear I made it 81/2 minutes no tolls. All drivers passives and tweeters are fully functional. I do get why some really like the Peerless tweets.The Peerless are my Polk 1st and find them not to bright and just hits that sweet spot and clearly not as scratchy and tired as the silverdomes on the 2Bs that were replaced w/ 194s. I'm learning, thanks for letting me know what to look for and w/the adjusted price point I do think I got the better deal here.

    You could almost walked there lol. I walked downtown Portland Maine with a Marantz 2226b a couple years ago. Funny thing is not one person looked at me funny then walked into hospital-up on 6th floor i went. Then i realized i forgot the speakers :)

    Those stands came w/ my JBL 2060s from a $20 C/L ad. Those are now raised up high and I'm using the slant metal stands for my ADC 303ax. I can't tell anything about them, if they were an option or just a seperate purchase. I really don't believe they originally came w/ the JBLs because they are fairly small bookies.
