speakers

I'm thinking of buying a pair of Kef 107s. In my searches, I see 107 and 107/2s. I thought, why don't I do something novel and find out which is best before I buy the speakers instead of afterwards? Hence, this thread. First let me give you some back ground. It seems I like large speakers...

Come across a pair of (vintage?) “CB” badged speakers. Can’t find anything as the brand or model etc. only thing I found was another AK thread where someone is inquiring as I am now, to no avail. Link to said thread with better pictures...

Hi, For about 8 years now I've used the M Audio AV-40s as my main computer speakers, as well as for light studio work (I do it all on the same computer). I also have a receiver-amplifier hooked to a tape deck and a turntable, that has a phono out. I have a converter from the 1/4" out on that to...

Hey all! I wanted to start a thread about Philharmonic Audio on Audiokarma. Dennis Murphy, speaker designer and all around great guy showcased his monitors and towers at Capital Audio Fest. Dennis a/b demo’d the towers and the monitor. Both are great and sound very similar. The towers just...

Hi all, First time poster, long time lurker So I've recently picked pair of used Goodmans speakers, sadly the tag on the back by the speaker connectors has gone missing. Now my problem is that I don't know what model speaker it is, I can tell it's a Goodmans as pictured on the front it has the...

I have a nice pair of 605a duplex speakers, but I need to have cabinets made for them. And I have the chance to purchase a pair of 1977 klipsch Cornwall 1 ,For $2000 Cdn dollars. I am having a hard time deciding. Anyone have experience with both of these speakers ?

What are your dream speaker's? I dream of jbl S3900's Or the more attainable (also better looking) klipsch la Scala's. What are yours?

Found a set of Astrocom/Marlux speakers they seem to be in great shape and was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of these. I can't find anything about A/M except about their R2R's. They appear to be 1970's vintage. IMG_9061 3 by Markmayne posted Oct 21, 2021 at 8:54 AMIMG_9058 by Markmayne...

Having finished my 1970s Sanyo speaker upgrade project to add bluetooth and battery power - details here - time to get on with upgrading a set of Sony SS-210s. As before, I'm very much an amateur enthusiast, so learning as I go. I call this a resto-mod, which is very popular in the classic car...

I spotted a pair of these at a junk shop not-yet-priced for sale. The cabinets and grills look great, but I have no idea what's under the hood. The back panel states 3 way, 20-40 watts at 16 Ohms. I can't find anything anywhere on these speakers on the internet and I'm intrigued, but not sure...

Found these today in my Goodwill. 6.5 inch woofer and tweeter. Woofers need refoaming, of course. Rear ported speakers, perhaps 1.5" or 2" diameter port with perhaps a 4" tube. Vinyl over wood, but good speaker grilles on standoffs. Anybody know anything about these? $3.00 USD each. Thanks...

Hi there, I have bought a set of Jamo 704 speakers, but one of the speakers resonates on low frequencies. First thing, that filter board was loose, so I fixed hat. But the resonating did not stop. After investigating this further, I noticed that the backplate is vibrating. So that is the other...

Hey all- For years I’ve been listening to music on my pioneer solid-state receiver SX-737, pioneer turntable PL- 530, and JBL L88 speakers. The set up looks great but the sound is only OK. Either not enough bass or kind of booming, or sometimes too much high and low and no mid, and overall just...

Hey all! Recently I have caught upgraditis. Currently rocking KLH 5s (which I will keep forever) with Erhard Audio Buddies and the Aretha. During my research I stumbled over numerous brands and Salk has definitely stuck out. Does anyone have advice on how to demo anything from Salk...

Hi everyone - I’m posting here because individually I think my components are all good, but together my system is not making music, rather is is making bright bass less noise. Honestly, I’m thinking it’s no one component, but the matching of components that is causing this issue. I would like...

Going to check out a pair of Kenwood JL-565 speakers tomorrow, can't find any information about them so if anyone knows anything about them I'd appreciate any info or opinion about them, thanks!

Hello there. I have recently become the fortunate owner of a beautiful set of Onkyo Scepter 5001 speakers. Unfortunately, the mid took an impact in being couriered to me and now squeals like a banshee. I believe it is unrepairable. I am in Australia and am looking at my options. These...

So my faithful Mission 700 Leading Edge speakers have a bit of foam rot going on, time to refoam. While I'm in there I thought why not upgrade/refresh the factory crossovers a bit. The crossover is very simple ; a 670uH ferrite core inductor in series with the woofer, and a second order filter...

Just stumbled on this site. It seems like Nirvana or the Promised Land. But I'm here now, so it's taken a real plunge. Keeping fingers crossed, though. Anyhow, after feedback from anyone who has listened to S-50 speakers. Speakers might or might not have to be an interim. So have just bought...

I recently purchased a pair of SVEN SPS-702 speakers, however I noticed that whenever I plug my headphones into the speakers, sound continues to come out of one speaker plus the headphones and I can't seem to get my speakers to play sound exclusively through the headphones. I read online that...

Hey folks, I recently had an interesting experience and wanted to share this with you all to try and make sense of things and perhaps better understand how amplifier matching works. I currently use a pair of Sansui SP-X9000 and Acoustic Research M3 as my main listening speakers. I usually...

I'm trying to decide if I should bid on a couple of Pioneer CS-850W speakers in good condition. Are they worth the effort?

Hi all! I've been reading through these threads and it seems to be a brilliant source of information but some of it, as a complete newbie, is a bit above me. So I figured I'd make a new thread and see if anyone can explain is super simple terms what needs to be done. Please bear in mind I do...

I am trying to refoam woofers on a pair of Ohm C2's. I bought the foams from simply speakers and have done foam surrounds before. My question is, when I look at these, they appear to have had the foam applied to the front of the cone, and i can't tell if the roll of the foam was concave into...

There are a pair of AR 70LS speakers for sale near me — they look in good shape. The guy is asking $200 CAD. Is that a fair price? I can’t find too much info on these speakers. Another pair of AR B18xi speakers also for sale in my area, for $250. I can’t find any info on these speakers at all...
