Upgraded a beat up set of Monitor 5A with these Monitor 7Bs I found on Craigslist for $40. Had to replace a driver but otherwise they were in great condition. Built some stands a while back. Now I just need a more permanent place to set things up.
Great match with this old receiver. Picked out things out by reading up on here. Good sounding stuff.
Sorry....need a better camera too. Every picture I take is blurry.

That's a cool vintage rig and the HK looks pretty minty no?CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

Monitor 7's with peerless. Nice!!!!

That is a very nice H-K receiver from about 1975. My store sold the 330, 430, and 930, but we never got 630's or 730's. Typical H-K full-bodied sound from very few watts.
Not long ago, I had a 230 "Nocturne". The best sounding 10 ss watts you ever heard. Maybe some of the KLH receivers also sounded that good. The Model 52 did, but it was 33 wpc. -

Very nice man. Great deal on the speaks! I let a pair of Monitor 5b's for $25 pass me by on Craigslist because I was unfamiliar with Polk's speakers then. Really feel stupid about it now...- Jeremy
