    Car Speakers

    Looking for some suggestions for my particular application. I have a 1976 911 I am restoring and recently purchased a vintage Blaupunkt Kingston R24 head unit for the period correct look.

    Monitor Audio Silver 500 7g vs ADS L-810 (and other vintage)

    I am in the market for speakers and recently demoed ADS L-810s. Wonderful sound, powered by the Rega Elicit-R. This, of course, led me down the vintage rabbit hole, an area of which I was ignorant, only to discover my father’s generation of high fidelity was actually pretty good. That said, I...

    Mystery speakers from the 1970s

    Howdy everyone, Ran across these speakers and an Estate pre sale in Austin. I have worked in audio for decades, and have never seen them. There are four, and none has a logo or rear label. I would love to know if anyone can recognize them. And no, they are not Polks as some have already...

    Attempting to fix my dads RFT k13ProfiL

    Trying to fix this speaker. Both drivers are working (tested them by holding the audio cable from my receiver directly to the contacts on the drivers) so i think there is a short on the pcb board. I know very little about electronics so it's hard for me to follow the path of current. I tried...

    AU-101 speaker recommendations

    Hello! I’m new to the audiophile community and don’t know much about it. I picked up a Sansui AU-101 to run a technics sl-d3 I had. I love how simple and sleek it looks and for my inexperienced ears it sounds pretty good. Currently have it connected to a pair of JBL Northridge E10’s. My...

    Are you seeing the nice vintage gear that's starting to hit the streets?

    I'm pretty well finished in building my systems, and anything that I might want is not likely going to show up at a thrift store. I've had hundreds of pieces of gear during the hey days of vintage audio. For a while, it was a desert out there! Especially considering the things I have found in...

    Bose Series IV equalizer RCA connection issue

    Hello, Looking for some input on an issue I haven’t found a thread for. I recently re-foamed some Bose 901 series IV speakers. I’m aware of the polarizing nature and quality of the parts in the equalizer but at the right price I was able to get a relatively clean pair to clean up. While I was...

    Can someone help me identify these speakers? Thank you!

    I need help identifying these speakers, they were on my grandpas basement since a long time ago, they work fantastically well but I don’t know the make or what kind of speakers these are. Also, if you have any suggestions for the two speakers missing on them would be much help. Thanks btw! Daniel.

    My Zenith console has a problem where 1 or 2 of the speakers crackle / cut in and out when I adjust the volume. Is this a problem with the speakers or the volume control? Everything else works great but as it is now it’s unusable. Can the volume control be cleaned? Can the speakers be replaced...

    Vintage Speakers £500?

    Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well! I'm on the hunt for some vintage speakers and thought I'd reach out for some friendly advice. I've been after some KEF reference 103/3's, but they're getting few and far between. Love their look, that bass driver, the fact they aren't rear ported...
