    Frazier Model 11 Loudspeakers. RARE!

    Hi there, I recently picked up a pair of Frazier Model 11 speakers. From my limited research, they seem to be extremely rare. I could find very little information on them other than what folks have listed on this site. Despite a few small issues that I have yet to repair, the speakers sound...

    Heresy Project

    Roughly 5yrs ago I updated/Upgraded Forte IIs with the Crites Magic Parts. The results were magnificent and I suspect that the speakers will be good for another 30yrs. At another location, I was not happy with the sound of the current system: Yamaha RX-A860, M-L Edge in-wall (R&L), M-L SLM...

    Hello - I just recently purchased a pair of the JBL 4429's (currently on backorder). They seem to be very sensitive speakers and relatively easy to drive. Does anyone have an opinion on whether the "Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Poweramp" will deliver significant enough power? My opinion is...

    Speaker Jumper Cable Experiences

    Hi All, So I keep reading that replacing the stock speaker jumpers with bona-fide cables results in an improvement in sound from the speakers. I may try this out but I wonder what experiences others have had in doing this? I am on the fence. Thanks for your thoughts and time.....

    KEF 103.2 tweeter cleaning

    The dome tweeters on my KEF 103.2 are really dusty. Is it worth trying to clean each of them off? If so, what is the best way to go about this? Or should I not think of touching them? Jim.

    Listening to Pioneer sx-939 using only 1 speaker?

    Is there anything to be worried about if I am only connecting 1 speaker to my pioneer sx-939 receiver? Should I keep the balance knob in the center? Am I damaging anything by using 1 speaker? It's not ideal, i know, but life throws you curves sometimes. Thanks, Jim.

    JBL L110

    I have been offered a pair of JBL 110 speakers that need to be refoamed for $150.00. Not sure whether they need a recapping. Is $150 a decent price for these speakers? It is my understanding that these speakers are supposed to be pretty good.
