    Great transaction with Sound Dragon

    Just an overall great purchasing experience with Ron. He was very transparent and honest about the condition of the speakers. Answered any questions I had in a timely manner and was even willing to drive quite a ways to meet up for the purchase. He was very pleasant to talk to in person. He...

    B&K pt5 preamp error codes

    Hi all, So i acquired a known non working pt5 preamp with my purchase of a B&K reference 200.2 power amp, which is excellent by the way. Long story short, when you power on the Pt5 pre it immediately starts flashing EE ERR followed by a letter or number code. I havent timed it but it does this...

    Ashly FTX 2001...wow!

    So long story short, i have been looking for a more powerful amp to run my Boston Acoustics A200s as currently they are being pushed by my Sansui 7070. The Sansui sounds wonderful but at 60 watts it doesn't really have what it takes to open these bostons up. I've been reading a lot about...

    KLH model 5

    So after a long search for some 5's or 23's i stumbled upon a pair of 5's needing some help on CL. I traded a pair of pioneer cs77 speakers for them even though one of the 5s needs a woofer as someone decided to "fix" one of them by reconing it i guess...job failed:(. I had a pair of 23s a...

    Boston Acoustics A200

    Hi all, I have a line on set of A200's and I'm just wondering what the verdict is on them. How would they compare to a set of Polk Monitor 7s or even my newly aquired and rehabbed pair of KLH Model 23s? He may even be interested in a trade for a set of my speakers which I'm not sure I'll do...

    KLH Model 23 tweeter

    So I just recently picked up a set of 23s off of Craigslist only to find that one of the tweeters is bad. I swapped them and the problem followed the tweeter so I'm assuming that means it's definitely the issue. I found a replacement that is listed to fit the 5, 17, 20 and 23 but it is black...

    Help with PL-540

    I have a chance to buy a pl-540 for cheap but the seller says sometimes to start the table he has to manually spin the platter. What do you guys think? Easy fix or not worth my time? I already posted in TT forum but didn't get many responses. Thanks

    Help me decide

    So I've recently come across a Marantz 2252b to use as my main listening receiver and I'm wondering which speakers to track down to make a great matchup with it. I'm currently pushing a pair of Polk Monitor 5 speakers with it that I had hooked up to my sx626. Although they are great sounding...

    sx-626 power output?

    So I know that the 626 is rated at 20 wpc for 8 ohm speakers but I read somewhere that it can go up to 110 watts with 4 ohms. I'm only asking because I have it hooked up to Polk monitor 5b's which are supposed to be 4 ohms so does this mean my receiver is actually making more than the 20 wpc...

    Polk monitor 5 tweeter?

    I just got a set of monitor 5Bs off of a guy on CL yesterday and just hooked them up today. They looked to be in mint shape except when I hooked them up today one of the tweeters doesn't work.:thumbsdn: Its the silver dome one. So is my next step just to replace it or is there something I should...
