    Pioneer SX 950 Speaker recomendations

    Hello guys, Wondering what speakers you guys have tried. I realize that it is a subjective matter. I tend to like the warmer fuller sound that one gets from a tube type system. I did hear some Marantz Prestige Series 1230s that just sounded wonderful! Thanks, Guys!!!

    Need help B&W speaker short?

    I have a set of beloved 1995 year B&W DM640i with 6.5” yellow Kevlar midrange 4 ohm. When the speakers were playing, the midrange frequencies were phenomenal. Recently one of the midrange speakers stopped playing. The speaker plays if I depress the cone in about an 1/8” of an inch. I’m getting...

    Why flooding speaker et al switches may not work well

    Dribbling DeOxit down a Marantx speaker switch or one of the many others is a time honored tradition for us that restore these beasts. But, if you take one apart, you will find that is probably not the best way to fix them. That is assuming that A: you have a newer switch and B: you don't mind...

    Greetings all, I'm usually pretty good at finding information but cannot identify this particular set of incomplete speakers which came from the estate of a high-end audio tinkerer. They definitely are not homemade unless they were made from a kit. The 5" mid-woofers are missing. The tweeters...
