How does a speaker like that end up in Goodwill?
Tax write off (scam). They hand you a slip, you fill in amount..... it just became a 10K+ speaker.... you do not get the slip if you sell them yourself. -
Tax scam probably, really hard to say.
I do know of a guy, who's "unusual" girlfriend donated a bunch of his stuff to a place that was
already sold when he finally figured out where she took it.
I've always wondered where the other gear that had to be a part of any certain set of items, amp, receiver???
The one's at SA look in much better condition.

I've seen quite a few high end amps on Seattle Goodwill's eBay store in the past, but store pickup only.

Yep they had some high end Gryphon audio class A mono blocs a year or two ago. I too questioned at that time who in their right mind wouldn't try and sell them first before dropping them off at GW or SA.
When I dropped off a ton of old clothing at GW of my fathers after he passed and the lightbulb illuminated for me. Mom just donated 5.6 million dollars of dads old clothes.....

^^^^^^OMG having owned a 2285 I'm thinking one person is smiling from ear to ear while the other person has far more money than brains.
-
No doubt.
I have a 2385 sitting in the closet doing nothing.
-
Money laundering....
-
Maybe the Goodwill store manager was trying to bait a bidder to bid higher and higher.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

^^^^^^Pass. $300 a pair rack system speakers from the early 80's. A good rule of thumb is to stay away from speakers with graphs on the fronts and decorative silver rings. Exception to the rule on the silver rings being the Yamaha NS series.

I still have a set of those from high school I use when I work out. Used for FM radio. "Party speakers", boomy bass, they do as intended and help make my muscles bigger.
-
They're good for a garage or background sound and I'd pay no more than 40.00 on a day I had a wad of money burning in my pocket.
They're almost good speakers.
Get a pair of Pioneer Cs-903's (?) for 80.00 or so like I did.
I just saw on eBay, a pr. of 703's for 700.00 LOL There's plenty of better Pioneer speakers than those. I know.
I sold the top pair. They sounded about the same. Not too bad.

Great; just great; now you tell me.......I've been using the wrong speakers all these years.

That red box that's padlocked looks very interesting and mysterious.
I don't believe I've ever seen this end of this room.
Very nice room and stereo indeed. Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

Thanks; The box isn't anything special; just a heavy old Plomb tool box that's the right size for doing crunches.What is going on in the corner? Looks like a sub? Question 2. Is this a basement?
Yes that's a sub in the corner with a Mitsu meter box being used as a gain control. No it's not a basement; it's my listening building-workout room in the winter months.

No tubes, yet the ad says "turns on".
I've read, you should never turn on a tube amp without speakers connected. Let alone no tubes.
Am I correct about having speakers connected before turning on a tube amp? Thanks.
-
Yes.
-
If that amp is diode rectified it can't be good for it.
