Anybody here listening to these little bastards? They are the smallest of the Mission white conuses series. I guess they were meant as sattelites in a 5.1 setup or something. I don't like surround for music, I like honest serious stereo. So I use them for my laptop setup. These little...

I wonder too now.......I like the amp (A-402) absolutely, for listening FM radio (tuner T-403) and good digital audio via Aux. (via Roland Rubix24 ) Lately bought a Telefunken S-800 pick-up, and started playing vinyl again. indeed the sound didn't really please me. I am not sure yet it's the...

Right, but maybe indeed with this amp, try measuring things up.....If the Elco's seem to have a strange pin-size already......:)

own a PMA750 . bottom panel comes out. :) A few years ago I wanted for some reason :confused: to freshen it up with new Elco's. All at the beginning of my vintage hifi hobby. o_O At the time it seemed Elco's with the right distance between the 2 pins were VERY hard to find..... I sort of put...

might I be in with a bunch of Mission speakers (the white conuses series) 70/700/701 and 704?) and some humble KEF Chorales and Wharfedale Diamond III 's ? And maybe there is a set of Quad 405 and 44 heading my way........but that's not sure yet......

Nobody in with the "white conuses" series? And why not? I wonder about your opinions about them. I own 70's 700's 701's (2 pairs) and a pair of 704's. In daily listening use are the 701's. the small 70's I use in my desktop computer-setup. the 704's are too big for my listening room, they...

Thanks for your answer. I know it's about the combo of speakers and amp. Which decides about success or not. Some combo's surprise me negative, some positive. As I said, I might have to look for some other speakers then to match the HK A-402. And even per type/brand it seems hard. My HK 430 Twin...

Usually play with my Harman Kardon A-402 amp. Now and then I hook up this Akai. To keep it awake and .....for fun! As I did tonight. This amp really seems powerful and clean musical sound. It might get more out of my speakers (Mission 701 in this case) than with the HK A-402. Powerwise, and at...

Yes, actually I promised them more or less to my brother-in-law, before I hooked them up. For his garage radio or something.... I didn't expect much before hooking them up. But I texted him: "I'm sorry, but really got to think about this mate" They are singing little boxes. No bass or whatsoever...

Besides the aforementioned big hit on the Pioneer amp and tuner, made a deal about a pair of KEF Chorales, and a pair of Grundig Lautsprecherbox 19. 10 euros at a private second hand shop. The Grundigs I bought for their funny small size and looks, but they sound really surprisingly decent. For...

Sorry mate, I don't buy everything out of thrift shops. Bought some HK stuff and Missions and the Telefunken for 'normal' prizes. Just to make sure we understand each other....;) and indeed 'decal' is the right english word for it....sorry I'm Holland-based:rolleyes: But indeed it's a steal. I...

Photo_2018-10-31_00-53-03 by Edzo posted Oct 31, 2018 at 12:56 AMHello all you Pioneer freaks :) As you can figure out from my signature my main rig is 70's Harman Kardon at the moment. But I sometimes stumble over other gear and buy what I like and think is something decent. (the mint(!)...

Snapped A NICE set: Pioneer SA-708 amp and matching tuner TX-608. Blue-line series. 1979 I suppose. both together for less than 10 bucks.............!!!!!!!! The most interesting is, there is still a sticker on the amp, I suppose it has been a demo in a shop......and has been hidden away...

Indeed they sound surpisingly decent. Didn't know what to expect when I hooked them up......Singing little boxes they are!!!!!!!!!!.......don't expect any low frequencies, but the frequencies they can handle are precise, nice stereo- ambience , and really a pleasure to listen to , given their...

9-year old tread.....sorry :) but just picked a pair at a second-hand 'shop' .For a few bucks. Still have to test them. But I don't want to cut off the original DIN 2-pins, I'll fix a pair of female 2-pins with some wire to connetct them. Interesting pair of little speakers. Indeed still after...

Thanks. I'm gonna give it a try . I think it's a good basis to start with, given the fact it runs really steady . :D

Thank you!! :)

Sorry, can't make out the meaning of your message. Cynical or funny? :confused: I might better ask about facts, then. instead of opinions. Maybe my English is not good enough to catch the real meaning of some comments...... I tried to figure out more about this theory, (Telefunken S800...

after some research on internet, according to a german forum, it seems this table is a rebadged and slightly restyled Technics SL-2000. Anyone any opinions about this?

Things were postponed a bit, for several reasons. And I wasn't in a hurry. I don't know why, but came across a Telefunken S 800 hifi for a few bucks and bought it. . No idea if it is 'something' but it appears at least solid. nothing automatic, direct drive and about 6 kilo's in weight. Seems...

Interesting site you linked to, by the way Malden. thank you.
