Bear I hoped you stopped posting and SPRINTED to that guys house. That was the deal of the century. If in nice shape that stuff could have easily gone for $1K total.

He has a guy checking it out tonight... If he doesn't purchase I'm planning on going tomorrow or Monday with cash in hand... He said there is some static om the phono... Regarding the refurbishing I guess the subwoofers were flipped upside down he said something was dragging did not really understand that

Hmm. I would doubt they will still be there Monday. Regarding the HPM-100's I am staring a a set here in my dining room now. They don't compare to my McIntosh speakers or to their big brother HPM-150's, but they are still very good for their price point. If the woofers are "dragging" (assume voice coil rubbing) they may need to be realigned and were probably stored somewhere HOT (like a garage). If flipping them solved it, I'd leave them be. I think realignment is possible on these if you find the right tech. The obvious problem is that the midranges were switched out. You might consider dropping about $80 to get the right replacement parts off the 'bay.
As for the pioneer, I think the consensus is clear - don't walk there, run there.

Wow what deal! If for some reason you don't like the 950, sell it get you 300.00 back and keep the rest for free. If for some reason you don't like the hpms, sell them get you money back and keep the rest free. But I couldn't see anyone not liking both. And that turntable isn't bad either. It's probably already gone though.

Is there any way to use either the HP out or Speaker out on a Pioneer SX424 separately? Will probably be getting one for $20 - $30 soon and I want to use both my speakers and Sextetts for it, only want to use one at a time though.

Edit: Is the SX424 still worth it at $40?

Yes there is an option to turn speakers off if you want to use headphone only.

Your call, but compare it to any other headphone amp and the answer becomes easy. You get a great headphone amp that can drive speakers and if for some reason you want to listen to FM (here in Portland it does not even have a station I would listen to) you have that. Go for it.

And to celebrate, here's a rather fruity pic of a vintage (and very famous) supermodel with her hifi.
