    I was offered a pair of re-foamed Cerwin Vega D9's for $150.00. I have a Marantz 2245 receiver and have been holding out for some Dynaco A25's or 35's, but the prices on those are out of control by me. I am currently using a pair of JBL 2050's I picked for $20.00. Thoughts on the quality...

    Modifying Speaker Connections at Amp

    Hi, I'm running 14 AWG wire from the vintage integrated amp (circa 1983) to the speakers. At the amp it's the kind of connection where the wire enters thru a slot in a plastic 'bezel' and then a plastic cap screws down on it to make the connection. I'm sure the 14 AWG is thicker than...

    I am looking to identify my speaker model. I am pretty sure they are PSB speakers made in Canada but so far I have not been able to find my model on their website and the logo appears wrong. It is possible they are "white van PSBs" I have included a shot of the front without the grill, the...

    Speaker recommendations for Kenwood KA-801 amp.

    So, I have a bit of an upgrade bug... It's become apparent that after years of upgrading various components one by one, my Realistic Mach 2 speakers are the weakest point in my current setup. Now, don't get me wrong. The Mach 2's are excellent for cranking volume and served me well for years...

    Wife hates new speakers......Sigh

    After scoring some new speakers at an incredible price at auction I fly approx 600 miles to pick them up as every courier company I ring either wants ridiculous money to transport them ($600) or won't deal with the auction house. So I hire a campervan (cheapest hire option) and spend the night...
