welton!!!

[hifijohn]

I had some time to kill so I found myself in one of those 'rent a center' places.
And I may have found the ugliest and tackiest stereo system ever, its the Welton technical pro stereo. While many systems try to blend into the background this one screams 'look at me'. The first thing I noticed is that none of the components matched in style, it looks as though they just took components from other systems and threw them together. the cd player is cool looking but the tuner looks like some high schooler built it in his basement , the amp is suppose to be 2500 watts!! and its faceplate is made from thin plastic ,the bass is also very aggressive, just turning it a little clockwise produces a very boomy bass.But the icing on the cake has to be the speakers, which are made to look like PA speakers complete with side handles, silver mid horn and 4 silver horn tweeters.Also the left speaker wasn't even connected, when I told the sales lady she could care less, oh well, one channel is better than none.
For $1100 I'm sure you can do better.

Things have a way of showing up to fill a market need.

For some reason Technical Pro stuff saddens me. In a perfect world, there would be no Technical Pro.

 

[KentTeffeteller]

Not Pro, sold at Rent To Own er Rob To Own stores.

At $1100 that's only 44 cents per watt. You should buy it.

Any good quality real pro amp will outperform the Technical Pro, who's wattage ratings are I.L.S.I. (If Lightning Strikes It)

Reminds me of Jessie Pinkman's home stereo in "Breaking Bad".

 

[jcg1112]

Ironically, while cruising Craigslist, I saw one for sale for $150. It's a tough decision between this and the Wharfdale W60's in another listing. :scratch2: just gotta convince the wife. Ah, the W60's that is.

 

[KentTeffeteller]

Good choice, the W60's you should be quite content with.

 

[gbroot]

I need to get one of those. I'm sure the WAF would be off the charts.

 

[jcg1112]

Good choice, the W60's you should be quite content with.

The pics are really nice. But he's selling three pair of vintage speakers, the W60's, some Optimus and I believe a set of Utah. Never heard of those. Don't need three pair, I'm just getting my Paradigm's broken in.

 

[fgb4]

how big is this welton thing? The dimensions show that its only not that big, but the picture makes it look like it takes up an entire wall? Im slightly confused

Well, if you're really serious, I can always find the CL posting I stumbled across. Hmm, decisions decisions. :scratch2:

 

[toxcrusadr]

Four piezo tweeters in a row. How about I just stick BBQ skewers in my ears hard and skip the rental process.
