    Good speakers for dance music

    HI, I'm knew here but have looked at this site for years. I really enjoy my current set up, which is turntables (2 technics 1200 and a Duel) and cassette player connected into a Pioneer DJM 600, which then runs through a harmon/karmon receiver from late 1970s to power my B&Wdm100i speakers...

    Help pick my first Klipsch!

    Hello all, I am somewhat new to the audio hobby, but have really appreciated the wealth of information that AK represents. I asked many questions during my restoration of a small single ended 6v6 tube power amp pulled from an old Stromberg Carlson console unit, and I think it made the...

    Speaker crackling with new receiver

    Hello, I just starting setting up a new home theatre setup. I bought a Pionneer VSXLX104. Because of covid, I got the last one at Best Buy, an open box like new.

    Kenwood KL-50A Speakers?

    Hi! I recently picked up a pair of Kenwood KL-50A speakers for $25. They sound pretty good but I was wondering if anyone knew anymore information about them. I can't seem to find a ton of information about them online when it comes to the history of them.

    The saga of the ESS AMT 4 speakers

    I bought these speakers about 2 years ago. I have loved ESS speakers since I bought my AMT 1 speakers about 8 or 9 years ago. I liked them so much, I subsequently purchased a very nice pair of ESS AMT 1aM monitors. The ESS had moved on, and I missed them. I ended up making a trade to get these...

    Philips 476

    Looking for an inexpensive setup for my garage and there is a pair of these near me for $200. There is a thread from about 10 years ago discussing the quality of these and the 477s, but the prices mentioned there seem very outdated (much lower). From the pictures, they look to be in very good...

    Material Science - Vintage Paper Cones

    As with all of us - age is not kind over the long term, to basic speaker materials such as paper cones and surrounds. I’ve run into sun bleached paper cones on one speaker (of a pair), knowing that it does not have the same general integrity as it’s peer (that did not have the same exposure)...

    The Canton CT-120s are the best speakers I’ve ever heard and I’m sad about it

    The title of the post is the conclusion of the review, so if you’re not looking to read a mid-pandemic speaker fanatic wax philosophical about “audiophilia” and maybe realize the pursuit of audio perfection is futile, you can stop here. However, if you too spend an inordinate amount of time...

    Are Omega Loudspeakers suited for electronic music?

    hey all! I'm on the look for a pair of speakers, primarily to be used for listening to music, mainly vinyl. The room I'm planning to use them in, is 20 square meter. Due to the nature of the building and neighbors I cant and I'm not planning to be blasting them. Also ideally without a sub...

    $14 Goodwill steal; Yamaha NS-A100 3-way speakers.

    Me and my father visited Goodwill today to find some main speakers for our living room home theater. We have a big living room, so big speakers are a MUST. We found a pair of these Yamaha's for $29.99, with 50% off dropping it to $14. So we thought, why not? It certainly has a big, loud...

    Altec 615B/A duplex?

    Hi everybody, I’m debating picking up a pair of these, there is practically no information about them online except for the original ad flyers. Some people say the 615 is the commercial version of the 605, others say the HF cutoff is 12K, so they’re worthless for HiFi. These are in...

    Triangle Borea BR08: these idiot savants shine with the right content

    It’s not often I make gear purchases on a whim. However, when Adorama had the Triangle BR08s on sale for $900 a pair, I just kind of clicked “buy”. I’d seen a ton of reviews for the BR03 all saying essentially, these are the new kings of budget audio (inevitably to be replaced by a new “king”...

    Sanyo ST-150 bookshelf speakers

I can't find much information on these speakers, but I'm suspecting they're probably from the 1980's and possibly came bundled with a stereo system. Compared to my Polk Monitor 40 Series II bookshelf speakers, these Sanyo...
