You need an intervention Kerry lol
I have actually heard those a very long time ago. I was a wee little chap my uncle had a pair pushed by some McIntosh gear.
Technics has made some really good gear back in the day although most of the high end stuff never crossed the pond from my understanding.
Didn't notice a reserve. Arizona folk need to wake up.
Local only though lol... besides Steve not sure who else lives nearby?

Well, they came home with me...why I have no idea. It's a sickness, man!
He also had a pair of Panasonic, I know Panasonic right? They were different looking speakers than anything I ever remember from Panasonic and they actually sounded pretty good. Some pics below. Had surprisingly good mids and uppers, very clear and detailed without being edgy and decent presentation.
Those are the little brothers of the ones I bought years ago. I sold them a year later but hated that I had to. I had the Technics SB7070's. 15.00. . And I also bought his BIG Pioneer mint cond. receiver. 15.00 too. He bought them new and babied them. Those speakers I had were equal to the SRS2's in my opinion. Huge sound stage. 14" woofer was tight and fast and could get really low too. I've seen my pair I sold get resold a couple of times over the years. I almost bought them back but the price had grown to 500 for the pr. I sold them for 200. These speakers were 99% mint cond. too.
I've read over the years, reviews of all the speakers in that series and not one bad one.
Congrats on getting both pr. True Gems!

I though the same thing, this guy always has about a dozen hi fi items on CL at any given time. He must work off volume, cause he ain't making much per unit if all his items are bought like this one. Too much for work this old man (me). Maybe he just enjoys doing it. Enough said.
So, I was going to post this here (still am I guess), until I read the text of the ad, specifically the first line that says "This package has been sold."
Why do so many Craigslist sellers keep a thread open, even take the time to ADD text and edit it after a sale? To tease us? Or to rub it in that they were successful? I see a lot of edited ads that the seller just adds "***SOLD***" to the title. At least then it saves a click, LOL.
I had a lot of things I was selling a long time ago and after I lost my last job.
I put sold on the listings for a couple of days, 3 max, just to let people I was selling to others and I'm apparently doing something right to sell a few things a week. I got on a roll for a while but got to ill to meet people anymore.
I don't remember having a person tell me to take an ad down but maybe one did. But I had so much advertised, it was like get it soon or somebody else will tacticts I guess.

I’ve seen a few of this seller’s ads. It appears he is buying some of the Adriana bundle deals and parting them out at really nice prices for brand new in box. Great opportunity for someone to get just the speakers they need without buying a bundle and having to sell the ones they don’t need/want.

I've been wondering where this guy local had been getting all the high fi gear he's been selling on CL. This recent sale from Ebay looks like the same amp, same scratch on front, no feet. I know lots of people do this. Not my style. To each his own. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NAKAMICHI-PA-5II-STASIS-INHERENTLY-STABLE-UNIFORM-IMPEDANCE-AMPLIFIER-150W-PC-/173043422186?hash=item284a3113ea:g:Sq4AAOSw4PxaOwe2&nma=true&si=ufqDpucjGcui4leqvKWeE7owP9Y%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
I wonder why the quick flip?
