SOLD

 

-

 

Pains me to do this – but part of a massive liquidation sale (between one toddler and another baby on the way and I just don’t have time to listen to anything not portable as is)

 

First up CONUS only and you have to have post counts and feedback to purchase (sorry I won’t have time to respond to anyone asking about worldwide shipping or for folks committing then flaking out – I’ll leave feedback if that happens).  Also Paypal only.  Also I’ll only ship UPS and UPS will probably require a signature.

 

Please consider the gear used and beaten, worn and generally reflecting that state (personally I think it looks good but from experience different folks have different definitions so purchase planning on it being in used condition and be pleasantly surprised if it exceeds your expectations).

 

Now I’m looking for an easy sale – simple efficient, etc.

 

Also, I have over 10 pages of positive feedback here.

 

No pictures up yet – will try and put them up soon

 

Now onto the gear:

 

Bought these for $200 here

these are not the latest version with the little dots around the edges but these

i think planet 10 will add the dots for a couple of buck but not sure (most folks said it wasn't noticable)

 

so these have putty on the baskets, felt, damar on the cones and the triangles e3xtra strength stuff on the cone

 

they are well broken in (yes, these do take a long time)

 

of note fostex discontinued the 127 driver this year and prices have gone up

 

this is my driver of choice 

 

you can put it in little bookselves, or even big floorstander or mini voight pipes or BIB enclosers if you're up for it

 

you'll need to make a BSC circuit (easy) or bif you run a source from a laptop use the EQ in to correct the baffle step

 

with that done these are awesome - can deliver some bottom end (in pipes of BIB they sure do) but they have crazy point source imaging and coherence 

 

to my ears, these are a significant updgrade from the stock - even bettering the sigma series

 

for the simple application go buy some stock enclosures from say parts express and drop these in

 

or DIY some simple boxes for cheap

 

they are great with T amps and absolutely sing with tubes

 

bought for $200 before disconitnued

 

will sell shipped and paypalled for the pair:

(i'm always advocating this type of speakers whenever anyone asks for an inexpensive bookshelf or monitor or even near range desk driver- build some little, or big, boxes and have a massive bang for the buck, or buy them or have them built for you at a solid bang for the buck)
