    Help Me Troubleshoot a Boston Acoustics A70

    Aaaand ... Solved. I connected directly to the speaker and got sound. I connected to the terminals and got sound. Turns out it was the receiver. A dirty selector pot was causing intermittent signal to one of the sides. I'll take care of that tonight. Thanks for the responses

    Help Me Troubleshoot a Boston Acoustics A70

    Thanks for the reply. I really like how they sound. I'm becoming an east coast speaker fan for sure. I'll hold off on the recap right now. I just want to hear them again. Pretty sure its not the receiver as I tried another pair and they worked fine.

    Help Me Troubleshoot a Boston Acoustics A70

    Refoamed a pair of A70s last Christmas. The refoam was pretty easy. Once the glue was dry, they sounded great. The was an issue with one of the spring terminals. The red plastic part had cracked and fell apart as I was fussing with it. I continued to try out the speaker with a range of music by...

    building a (largely) vintage surround system cheap

    I've put together two home theatre systems for friends on a budget. The first was three pairs of "the best $50 dollar speakers ever (bestbuy bookshelves)" and a five year old nicish Yamaha surround receiver we got for $100. It sounded really, really great. I did it again for a little more money...

    ID These Polks?

    They must be 10s as the serial has a 10 followed by another number.

    Thanks for that. I always thought the 10s were much taller.

    The back of the speakers are in the new link. The fuse and serial number are seen. They're definitely clean.

    Help with cleaning up a pair of Realistic Minimus.6

    That makes sense. Thanks for the vinegar suggestion. Would deoxit also be appropriate? Still concerned about finding and attaching a new spring. I am more of a soldering iron owner than user. I will clean them up as per your advice and then figure out the remaining issues. Now to find a 6w...

    Help with cleaning up a pair of Realistic Minimus.6

    Grabbed these cool powered speakers for 4 bucks. Vintage Radio Shack cool. Though I am a big Realistic speaker fan and own a couple of pairs of the Minimus 7s, I had never heard of these. I just grabbed them without really inspecting them. Alas, they came with two pairs of vintage Eveready...

    Info on these speaker stands?

    Funny, I couldn't make out the logo. I love EPI speakers. Find your old stand and I'll have a matched set.

    Info on these speaker stands?

    I need some stands for some lovely B&Ws I found at a yard sale. I have no experience with stands but these seem OK. They are for sale locally for $35. Any insights appreciated. BTW, I'm not too concerned about the cosmetics as I will paint them anyway.

    B&W 201i from Garage Sale

    I grabbed a pair of these 201s for $20 at a yard sale yesterday. I do like how they sound. They might become part of a home theater setup after I get to know them a bit better music wise. There is very little info available. Any insights guys?

    I love these Baby II Advents

    I have found these to be very hard to find in Canada. The price is higher, but still worth it to me.

    I love these Baby II Advents

    I actually picked these up with a friend in mind, but after settling in and listening to them, my friend might be out of luck. I really like these shallow little speakers. Very impressive.
