For me: Wharfedale W60. 2 Ways. Sounded so, small and boxy. I know they have a following but I just did not get it. Tryed with vintage tubes as well as SS. Recapped, same sound. The furniture though was beautiful...Ended up moving them along. They were a 10/10 cosmetically. The guy I sold them...

It is amazing what those Daytons sell for. My understanding is that they do not even have a proper X-over, yet they sound so nice. One of the best bargains in bookshelves...

Only YOU'RE ears can tell. If you are looking for an affordable 2nd pre, may I suggest the Bugle: https://hagerman-audio-labs.myshopify.com/products/bugle3-phono-preamp-mm-mc I have the 2 and it is a great sounding pre.

Ding ding, we have the winner...

IMO the best sounding receiver Pioneer ever manufactured.

One more I forgot: -Since most Veneer is ships in rolls, unroll the stuff and throw some stuff on top so it lays flat for a couple days prior to starting the project. Flat is much easier to work with. Letting it sit out also allows the wood to properly acclimate to the environment and will...

I did a bunch of Turntable Plinths with wood glue like your self and it was nothing but frustration. They all turned out well but way to much work and redos. Re gluing loose corners, pushing out bubbles etc. I just did an Akai R2R case recently and used contact cement. What a revelation. So...

So I ended up going with the 2.4 and 3.6 poly Axons and 18uf/33uf Jantzen non polar elect from partsconexion. Even though in CA can't imagine shipping being any slower than Part Express lol. Pretty sure they still using pony express. Thanks for advice everyone.

Thanks. Closest I have found are Solen PB 2.4uf and 3.6uf @Partsconexion. They also have same values in Axon which appear to be the same cap. Now I am reading they can be a bit grainy. This is giving me a headache lol.

Hello. I am going to do a recap on my Yamaha NS-690 I speakers. The crossovers have some odd values: 2.5uf 160V *2 Axial IMPORTANT 3.5uf 100V *2 (Axial Terms One Side) 18uf 50V *2 Radial Bipolar IMPORTANT 33uf 50V *2 Radial Bipolar Would it be better to sub values that are close for the 2.5...

I know Technics speakers do not get much love around here. I picked up a pair of Technics SB L-200 speakers. Reasonable mid sized cabinet (Smaller that my KLH 6 2 ways). These are great sounding speaker. Good imaging, Nice Bass. The horn tweeters are actually pretty laid back, and not in...

A pair of JBL L112 showed up on the local Phoenix Craigs list yesterday for $200. Original boxes, needing refoam. I emailed the guy about a hour after listing went up and never received a response. Add disappeared. Assumed someone got there quicker. This add showed up, and sold on Ebay the same...

I love a good plan. I am still enjoying these greatly. I actually am starting to get curious about the latest incarnations. How does the new heritage series compare to those of the past? Is the build quality and sound to the same high standard?

I love collecting vintage speakers. Current stable includes Klipsch Heresy I, KLH 5, KLH 6, Advent A25, Advent 5002, Yamaha NS-690, DCM 500, and DCM CX27. I loved each in their own way. Well I picked up a pair of Klipsch Fortes for a silly price locally. Cabs not perfect. I replaced the...

Restuffing cans is actually pretty easy. I did so on a Scott 233 and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Get a nice steel file and remove bottom lip by slowly working your way around. Insides pull out and you may have to remove some glue. Remove old components, solder new (liberal use of Heat...

I use two of these mounted on my wall in plastic boxes. Wire the plates directly to my amps/receivers (4 of them to be exact). End of Speaker runs have banana plugs so I simply move to the appropriate spot for each component. Also makes supporting multiple speaker sets easy. Simple and cheap...

I think that is a good price though you can use the refoam as a bargaining chip if they are trashed. I paid 250 for mine locally and though they did not need a refoam the cabs needed some attention. After hearing them I thought 250 was a bargain. If you do pick them up please report back you're...

Awesome sounding speakers. Some actually prefer them to the NS 1000s as they are a bit less bright. I have NS 690I's and love them.

All is well, no rub.. Man do these Advents throw out some bass. And silky highs. Thanks for help!

Yeah pushing down on the cone I didn't see much in the way of distortion. That outer ring also does seem to move much. I also tryed to use a pin to push it out to no avail. It is hard to see but on the inside of that outer ring there is actually a small crease. I shimmed it and put the new foam...

Another pic.

Hello. Refroaming a pair of Advent 5002 and found a not awesome issue. Suspension has a dent. Any way to repair this or is the speaker shot?

I run my 6s with a Dynaco SCA-35, under 20 watts per channel. Never had an issue, and they sound great. Also sound great with my NAD 3020, another low wattage amp. Not sure of the efficiency but they seem to pair great with lower wattage stuff.
