    Don’t know if this is a good deal or not. I know there some KEF owners around here...

    Sanus Ultimate Series 26" Tall Speaker Stands

    For anyone looking for a set of discontinued UF26" Sanus Ultimate Series Stands, a guy listed a set last week on eBay and the bases look like they are in pristine condition. They didn't sell and were not relisted. But you might contact the guy and ask if he is going to relist at a lower price.

    Note: The spikes have been removed from the stands in the photos, so you might want to make sure they didn't get tossed. Also, he wanted $57.51 shipping, I have a set of UF30" and I was charged $35, so checking to see if he'll ship UPS or FedEx at a lower cost would be worthwhile, although I have a strange feeling he plans on shipping these fully assembled. The high cost could also mean that the stands have already been filled. And one more thing, the seller has a feedback score of 1, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but a lot of folks shy away from sellers that aren't established. Which may be why they didn't sell.

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sanus-Speaker-Stands-2-Ultimate-Series-26-034-Tall-for-Bookshelf-Speakers-/152923859385?ul_noapp=true&autorefresh=true&nma=true&si=E0M0gNft2NaGWnVYJSlm3DGgFos%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

    These just got relisted:

    Great stands, but at that price, you are ALMOST at Skylan stand prices, and those are also a stellar value....

    Similar issue in San Diego, where they bleach / wash the streets. Evidently the California disposable bag ban removed a ready source of "waste bags" for the homeless population.

    Cool looking Marantz PM7200 integrated with Class-A toggle button. $450. Price a bit steep, imo.

    Looks to be a pretty respectable integrated. If they throw in the Harmony One remote it doesn't seem like a bad deal. A quick search makes it appear to be mainly offered outside the US when new.

    It says 120v 60hz so I'm guessing it'll plug right in.

    And yeah perhaps with the remote it's a decent deal, although $300-350 would be nicer.

    It runs on 120v @60hz, should be good to go.

    I had one of those receivers from goodwill, sounded awful. Then 3 days later it started having serious distortion issues, it would sound like a tv that’s not tuned into any channels, you know, that kind of hissing/crackling sound. So I played around with it, reset it, took it fully apart and put it back together, tried other inputs, and it never stopped (except on tuner, it did stop there, but I didn’t need a tuner) so I took it back to goodwill.

    Methinks you had a lemon, hence the Goodwill find...

    That’s what I was hoping you would say, I had always Longed to have some Marantz equipment until that incident.

    You should still want Marantz, they make a fine product, especially the vintage stuff.

    These don't get much press here but are amazing speakers. These are about $500 off list.
    I have a set in Satin Espresso and with the RAAL ribbon tweeter, the detail and soundstage are very impressive. Mine are awesome in near field but can crank when I want them to.
    Cabinets are made of bamboo which is very dense and ideal for speaker application.

    Sorry if I sound like a fanboy but this is a heckuva deal, and they rarely come up for sale.

    I do, and even before I was reassured a few hours ago I would’ve absolutely bought a Marantz, no questions asked. Just before that I was a bit of a fanboy, now, not so much.

    Isn't it nice how each component has no room to breathe or dissipate heat? Fantastic. And the speakers are up above, with grilles that are in no way shape or form acoustically transparent. Amazing setup.
