    Vintage Pioneer w/ dome mid & tweet?

    Haven't seen these talked about before. Not a fan of Pioneer speakers in the least, short of the HPM1500's I had in house a couple years back. Good, bad, indifferent? Model 'Prologue 8' (up on a auction site - no affil, saw them while browsing) Cheers, Russ

    Pioneer HPM-200's

    Saw a pair out on that big auction site this morning (no affilliation). Not a model I have seen before. I really enjoyed my 150's while I had them, obviously these appear to be (much) older. Any other older Pioneers with soft domes? Cheers, Russ

    Says 'UC-1' Stereo Basic Amp Controller on the front, 'NS Series B-1' on the rear? 300w on the meters, FIVE pairs of speaker hookups on the rear. Haven't had a chance to clean it up yet, but it works, and is ALMOST too heavy to pick up and carry very far. Is this a combo of a couple...

    Yamaha NS-1000M

    Ok, checking these out, getting them ready for sale. The Beryllium dome mids and tweets are fine - but the grille over one mid has a couple small dents. Any easy fix? I've thought about 'hooking' it on 3 or 4 sides, and pulling with equal pressure thinking it will pop out - but man, I'd...

    Car Shopping, Cool or Not Cool?

    I'm keeping the truck, always good to have a spare vehicle - plus I still plan to 'jack' with it a bit for autocross. I need something with more than 2 doors. A trunk is an added bonus too. Yes, to have more than ONE person in the vehicle with me, and to maybe be able to haul gear in bad...
