King of all Kabuki

[leesonic]

What I don't really understand is why non-Kabuki sell cheaply, including many classics (KLH, AR, Advents, Dynaco). They sounds so good and sell for so cheap.

Yeah, right. I'm struggling to find buyers for speakers I have. Can you imagine the crossovers needed for 6-way speakers, assuming they didn't let all the drivers have a free-for-all. My AR18S had a simple capacitor in line with the tweeter, nothing to get in the way of the music...

Sold for almost $1600 total.
They must sound okay for that price.

Just to reiterate - if they said 'Sansui' on them or 'Pioneer', many are those who would still be spooging.

Once upon a time

Once upon a time and far far away when I much much younger.............................

I had a painfully long listening session with a pair of those once. Tried many different amps/receivers. Just couldn't believe how truly terrible they were. Kinda like a cruel joke on the part of Kenwoods engineers.

Unimaginably horrible.

Yeah, but imaging parting those out... you'd have enough stuff for a year's worth of ebay auctions!!!

Yep, and each one netting you 99 cents! Of course, even then you might be a millionaire when done.

That, among other kabukis, is unfortunate, kenwood made really nice gear, to see that they made something that gaudy

Say it isn't so...

You mean - you don't think I can get ~$1500 for mine? You're breaking my heart :tears:
I was already planning on getting couple pair of Pioneer CS-99s instead - I've heard that they are SO much better....:lmao:
