i spent the week thinking about a marantz hat i saw on ebay and how cool it looks and how much i liked it.. i knew i didnt have any marantz gear but i certainly respected the ones i had heard. i have pioneer gear and the same seller has pioneer hats but considering their larger presence in car audio, that hat just doesnt make the same statement. i have NEC gear but no ones makin NEC hats.. even if they did who would even know what the hell it meant? next to no one thats who. i decided to buy the marantz hat and really look forward to its arrival.
a few hours later someone messages me about an amp i have for sale they end up passing on for an awesome package deal with speakers, sub, receiver, etc for cheap they found, when they informed me of a few things they had for sale..
a seasoned 2226b in what will be about 8/10 condition after a real good cleaning.. i already like this thing too much
and a pair of dr120 speakers.. there is nearly nothing for information online for these speakers but they seem pretty good. the crossovers have quite a bit of stuff on em and they are quite sturdy/heavy pieces. the midrange cones are torn so they arent all there yet sound wise but i found NOS ones on ebay. the attenuators for mids and tweeter need cleaned, but when i did get sound out of em through a not so special amp (testing purposes) they still could reproduce sound that my other speakers couldnt so im pretty excited to get them sorted out. i got one of the speaker cabinets cleaned pretty nicely and it looks pretty badass.
i picked this stuff up because i knew i could get rid of the 2226b to really make the speakers a good deal but damnit, i havent even cleaned/heard this thing and i already want to keep it
i most likely will
