    Hello, Short time newb audio enthusiast, first time poster. So, there is a set of Thiel CS3.6s that are for sale in my area, and I'm wondering how they would sound with my system.

    Giant Zap showing when playing vinyl

    Hi Folks, a few weeks back I introduced a new amp to my set up, a 100V Japanese Sansui AU X11. While listening to records after about the 2nd hour I heard a loud ZAP in my speakers, like the sound of a short of some type. Today the zap returned and I was only able to trouble shoot to find the...

    Yamaha CR 820 looking for speakers that pair well

    I have a Yamaha cr820 and a fluance rt85. I've been using new large Advents with them. My problem is occasionally I like to listen loud and the Advents which sound good to me at low volumes aren't cutting it at high volumes.

    ESS PS-9C troubleshooting

    I recently purchased a set of ESS PS-9C secondhand. While they are mostly fine, one of the heil tweeters makes an odd flubbing/ buzzing/ clipping sound on certain bass notes. It is most noticable on kick drums and 808's, though it is not limited to this. The previous owner stated that they had...

    What do you guys think these speakers have?

    So, I found these Yamaha's HS50m speakers in my local FB market and the seller is asking 190 US dollars for both. However, one speaker seems to be damaged on the cone and I don't know what it could be or if it would make the speaker sound bad. The seller says that they sound totally fine and...

    Vintage speakers for a modest phono setup?

    My wife was excited to purchase a turntable for our new home. She's not very particular about audio, but I wanted to put together a system that did the vinyl some justice, but at a budget. I purchased an inexpensive Chinese tube phone preamp and amp (Fosi Audio Box X2 Phono Preamp and BT30D...

    NHT 1.1 C

    What is different about the NHT Super One and NHT Super 1.1C. I know the C is designed for center use, but I am considering using a pair of them for front left and right. Will they sound as good as the NHT Super One's??

    Goodmans EE-4410 info?

    So I just saw some nice looking speakers on Cl. After doing some digging on the very minimal info on the speakers themselves, I found out that they are Goodman’s 4410s (EE-4410s I think?) I was just wondering if anyone has any info on these or if they’re worth $70? How do they sound?

    Mission 770 speaker questions

    I see a lot of these speakers for sale but rarely see them with the stands or the grills. Were these parts sold separately? Just curious because I think they're beautiful speakers.

    Found a good video on YouTube for speaker placement. Most of you oldies probably already do something like this. But for new audiokarma users give it a watch.

    How to get the best out of these special Kenwood speakers

    Hi guys - I'm new to the forum. I've got these old (1960s?) speakers that were my grandfather's. They are both sentimentally valuable, and pretty awesome (I think?). I'm keen to get the absolute best out of them. They sound pretty great as they are, but in their 50+ year life, they've never...

    Gaps in Advent surrounds

    I recently bought 4 New Large Advents in very good shape BUT every one of the has 2 gaps in the surround. Does anyone know why this might have happened? They sound ok but the bass isn’t what it should be. I guess that’s not surprising… I’d appreciate any thoughts.
