    PEAK Company

    Goodmans Double Maxim

    I have just un-boxed and plugged in a pair of these given to me years ago. Seems they're in good shape as far as the drivers go, all tidy and sound good. Cabinets not amazing but not tatty, missing the badges. Thanks - I'm a newbie so hope I haven't posted in the wrong place.

    So I purchased a mint pair of HPM-100 after receiving valuable advice from fellow members on AudioKarma. I love them and am currently rocking them with my Pioneer SX-3900.
