Chicago south burbs estate sale - Sony ES and Legacy bookshelfs!

[cwilson]

So my wife and I are big estate sale junkies, and we've spotted some gear at an on-going estate sale near us. There is a reasonably priced Sony DA50ES receiver, S7700 DVD player, and a pair of Legacy audio bookshelf speakers. Model isn't mentioned but I know Legacy these days is huge money. There is also a Systemdek IIX turntable, but they're asking $300 for that and I'm not familair with that brand/model... someone come scoop it up!!

Why aren't I grabbing these items up, you ask???

Because I had a 2ohm-stable receiver that I've parted ways with, currently own a S7700 ($5 goodwill score!!), and the R E A L hifi deal of the sale has already been sold... to me upgrade to come!

Id have bought the Legacy's over that jamo stuff any day of the week....Would have also stopped in at Chef Klaus for a veal shank...

I'll take my chances on the Jamo's, those are improperly labeled... the towers are Concert 11/D870. They use SEAS Excel midrange and tweeter and I believe had a msrp of around $5k!!

The center won't be used for now, and maybe ever. I also think the finish is mismatched *grumble grumble*. I'll for sure give the D870s and the sub a try!

From what I've read the Systemdek might be worth it. Wonder what arm and cart is on it.

I sold my completely serviced Systemdek IIX for like $800.

systemdeck appears to be missing the platter

Yeah the turntable is tempting and all, but given the current times this sale is pay in advance, and outdoor pick-up. So no testing even for power, nor rummaging around to potentially find the platter... speakers are a safer bet for me, and were cheaper!

Congrats on the Jamo's!. I needed the Systemdek for parts, I have always wanted a teak plinth! and Curiosity was killing me over those legacy speakers. I had to grab them, Certainly not @ those prices.

In a million years I would never have guessed you knew of Chef Klaus! Frankfort/Mokena were my teenage stomping grounds and I remember when he first came to town. For years his place was THE hidden gem in old downtown, then he got a bigger place and hit the big time.
