    Acoustic Research ar5 questions/opinions

    Hi, I just picked up a set of ar5's in decent shape for what I would consider an o.k price, not great and not too bad. I have three days to decide if I want to keep them, and they are going to need work, I just am not sure if this set is worth the expense. One speaker works pretty well as in...

    JBL L7's minus 12" woofers

    I have a pair of JBL L7's I've been listening to for several years minus the large 12" drivers. I picked these speakers up for a couple Jackson's but somebody had already removed the 12" woofers. I have been listening to them with my Velodyne CT120 subwoofer filling in the low end. I have the...

    Anyone else not a fan of the Minimus 7's?

    I feel like I'm the only one! :confused: I have a pair of 40-2030C's, with custom audiophile crossovers I installed from eBay seller Litekeys. The imaging of these speakers is fantastic, and the bass is plentiful for the size. But, the upper mid-range and treble? Terrible. It's so harsh and...

    I just got a Pioneer SA-710 amp and after cleaning the pots, it tested perfectly. Unfortunately I didn't notice that the speaker wires were not inserted in the connector as far as they should have been, or the wire was stripped more than it should have been...in any event, the exposed wires...

    KLH Model 20 System

    Found a KLH Model 20 turntable/receiver with the speakers for $125. They are apparently in "working" condition but they are pretty rough cosmetically (specifically the speakers). Do you guys think this will be worth the time and cost of cleaning them up? Any insight appreciated, Thanks!
