    Looking for Jensen System B

    If you're still looking for the Jensen System B, there's a pair currently for sale in Montreal, Canada : This pair on marketplace. They seem pricey tho, and I have no idea if it is a reasonable asking price. Also, they used the same photos as you so, sorry if I'm being redundant and it is an ad...

    Most "Race-car-looking" race car ever?

    The Pagani Zonda was one of my dream cars when I was a kid. This Pagani Zonda R from 2007 tops it off for the race car look. I must say, I much prefer the regular street car, non "R" version from the early 2000s.

    What modern things do you hate/dislike?

    I hate most subscription services. I'm fine with a few like Spotify or Netflix but it's getting awfully close to the saying "You'll own nothing and be happy". For example, a few years ago, BMW was charging a monthly subscription for using heated seats... a subscription for F...ING HEATED SEATS...

    How many watts is your Amplifier @8ohms

    I technically only have one if we exclude the power amp's matching preamp. It is a Sony TA-3200F with 100WPC at 8ohm.

    Building The Perfect Pioneer

    To me, the "perfect Pioneer" piece of equipment would be really simple (possibly too simple?). I'd only need minor tweaks to my beloved HPM-200 speakers. They'd need to be raised off the floor about 6 inches for the tweeter to reach ear level. They'd also need screw on feet as they have none but...

    How your gear looks ... does it really matter?

    This is exactly what I'm going for! I want a great looking living room that includes a great sounding system. It is really easy to find audio gear that has (to me) both; Good looks and performance. For this reason, I will not consider any sub-par looking (ugly) pieces of gear.

    FB Marketplace Selling?

    Sorry, I noticed a typo in my text and corrected it. It was a buyer who brought his amp and I was the speakers seller. I sold speakers to a buyer, not to a seller o_O

    FB Marketplace Selling?

    The people from the audio community I've met through marketplace were extremely friendly and respectful. Most of the problems I encountered stem from inexperienced or new to the hobby buyers. The worst for me was letting someone bring their amp for testing the speakers I sold. Hooking it up to...

    Bose 901 Component Update

    Welcome to AK! The amp that Bose designed to go with its flagship 901 was rated at 250WPC. You could get an "inexpensive" class D amp (I.e. Fosi Audio) in the 200-300 WPC range and it'd work really well.

    Setup help needed

    I am not very familiar with them but something like this MEE audio Connect Hub could work well as it has a long range and can connect to two Bluetooth speakers/systems at the same time.

    Setup help needed

    If the Fiio connects well to the "1mii b06s+", could you add a second one connected to the Edifiers? That'd be a cheap option. For playing both systems at the same time, a Bluetooth hub could work well and possibly even replace the 1mii.

    Setup help needed

    How long do you need the range to be? I'm using a "cheap" SMSL DAC with Bluetooth and it has enough range to cover the three floors of my house.

    looking for alternative to ads l710

    Sorry for the late reply. If you can still go see the model 7s, they’re definitely worth a listen. They’re basically a bigger version of the model 5s.

    looking for alternative to ads l710

    Are you looking for vintage speakers that match your amp's time period (late 1970s)? If so, those comes to mind and are well regarded: - KLH Model 5 - AR-3a - Pioneer HPM-100, or other HPM variants (don't bother with HPM-40 or 60) -JBL 4311, or other studio monitor variants Prices are all over...
