I've owned K Horns and Heresy's. They both sounded harsh and flat to my ears, but to be fair I had them in a fairly 'bright' environment (tiled/wood floors, et). The buyer of the Heresy's showed up with his own tube amp to audition them, and it transformed them. They sounded much richer to my...

Bozaks have a very warm and rich sound, I think you'll enjoy them. Look into the crossover rebuilds and mods that are well documented in various places on AK. Those enclosures don't look familiar, they might be some aftermarket thing. It wasn't uncommon back then to buy some nice cabinets and...

A good friend is selling a pair of Quad ESL's along with a pair of Gradient subwoofers. He/they are located in Foster City, Ca. 5 years ago I would have been all over this, but having spent way too much time taking apart my own Quads when I had them, and never having been able to cobble a...

I'm blessed to be able to WFH. I've got friends and family in China, so I'm well aware of the severity of this thing, and it's killing me to watch how we're collectively fumbling the ball over here. Small businesses and the people that work in them are kind of screwed, there simply isn't...

"Has 10" holes, so if you get some 10" drivers, everyone will think that you have Reference 6s!" As long as you leave the grilles on. And don't play anything on them. bs

Allowing for the plating, let's call it $5 for the can and $1020 for the brand name. The engraving better be free. bs

$850 for a ratty pair of K-Horns might be right. $850 for a pair of knock offs is too high, even though they're probably every bit as good as the original. Call the guy back in a month or two.. bs

My family is aware that a lot of my audio and car stuff has value, some of it significant. That said, I'm at the age where I'm facing my own mortality. I've got a lot of sh*t lying around that I'll never get to. at 58, I've set a goal of 65 to have all of my audio and automotive projects...

'Open box' to me means the box has been opened for inspection, or something very minimal. What you received should have been described as 'Used, in original packaging'. Hell, I've got 40 year old worn out stuff here I could put back in the box and sell as 'open box' by their definition. bs

Look at trucks like the Ford Raptor. People that buy those things don't care about cargo or towing, they care about performance and maybe off road capabilities. A friend of mine runs a shop out here catering to the off road crowd. People spend tens of thousands of dollars building things that...

There's a reason every other pickup truck out there doesn't look like this - it's fugly! But people bought the Pontiac Aztec, so I'm sure there are some that will love this thing. bs

Pro tip - if you really want to know where to set your tire pressures, get yourself a temperature scanner. Drive the car around in some normal use situations, then get some tire temps across the face of the tire (measure the face on the inside, the middle, and the outside). If the temp in the...

For $60, I'd grab them. Everybody should try these at least once! They're generally easy, but time consuming, to repair. bs
