Anyone familiar with Moth Audio? Looks like a single full range driver, but might be concentric. Hard to tell from the pics.

Moth Audio Cicada speakers - electronics - by owner - sale

Looking to sell my Moth speakers. Very efficient, high quality speakers. Have original boxes. Only selling as I am wanting to upgrade. These were my first step in audiophile and like them very much...

Is that a "whizzer" cone? And that frequency response... OOF

Keep seeing a Marantz AVR 1080p at my Thrift store for $179.00 kinda pricey for them. Still a Marantz though. No pics rahaha.

Which avr?

Don't remember I always see it. 3 weeks already. If it were 4K or the thin 1080p model I'd take more interest. If it's there next time I'll take a pic.

It's a whizzer or very much like one. After a little digging I found out those were made more for tube heads so accuracy wasn't necessarily the goal, but sheesh. They look almost unlistenable.

Hey. I have an NR-1501 that has been collecting dust for a while. I'd want to test it as it has been sitting for a while. I have original box etc. Not trying to sell you but if you are interested....

Not looking for B&W myself but seems this might be attractive for a B&W fan at $500 for the set https://eugene.craigslist.org/ele/d/eugene-bw-home-theater-speakers/7279300904.html

Baby Avent II speakers for $60?

 

[lovinthehd]

I had the original Advents way back when, the later versions never appealed (and was a different company too).

I'm with you on B&W, but that does look like a great deal!

I've discovered there's not a lot of excitement around Advent. There sure are a lot of them in the Phoenix Craigslist tho, huh?

The later versions did not float my boat

 

[Kleinst]

Yeah here is another set I can get for $25. Not worth the time of being stuck with them?

Can also get a allegedly new in box version of these Daytons for $60

Dayton Audio T652 Dual 6-1/2" 2-Way Tower Speaker Pair (parts-express.com)

Wanting office speakers but might should just spend some money and get the JBL 530s on sale right now. But toying with bargains for fun. Might be more fun to get $1000 speakers for $100 if I can find them

I've asked about Advent enough times that when I see them now it's pretty much an automatic pass for me.

The Daytons I don't know anything about aside from being budget speakers. I think with some patience you could do better for the money, even if 60 isn't that much.

I would take the Advent over the Dayton T652
