Are These Finds Good Deals?

[ryanosaur]

They sold quick! I gotta say, they sure do look sharp in piano gloss black.

wow. testament to just how good these are!

JBLs for 100. These appear to have a powered woofer section. Think I could get them cheaper. Even but have zero need for them

I would love to get my hands on one more of the Piano Black Bennic BMRs (as per Shady's review). These were the ones Dennis was selling up until he "retired," and after the Dayton Cabinets became unavailable.
It would likely be because someone is selling their BMR "center." I just don't know how many of these are out in the world.
Conversely, I would buy a single BMR kit from Meniscus and just build my own cabinets, transferring the parts from my odd man BMR to match the single kit. Of course, I'd have my work cut out trying to match the existing cabinets and would likely have to pay somebody to put the Piano Black finish on. (I'm not that cool. Yet! )
Or... I really get ballsy and build out 5 cabinets and veneer them with Curly Maple, and dye them to match the Phils!

They are worth $100 if it is for a pair and if the on-board powered sub amp is still working ... also need to inspect behind the grills ... and they look a little too dirty for me ... the add seems a little suspect

Yeah, since I have no real use for them I’d only offer 50 or less as they seem to just want to get rid of them. But they are too big to play around with as I have no set use for them. Sure someone could clean them up and flip them. If someone has an extra room for a system those cleaned up could be good though

Then I better not show the Gallo 5LS that's still available.

These are pretty expensive but the price on the 3.1s was pretty good. Not surprised they sold so quickly.

Look what just popped up in my local craigslist!

This is what I am looking at, the Madisound RBR Reference speakers ... I messaged the guy that I want to audition them ... he messaged back that he will try to dig out an amp ... I will not buy without hearing them ... they have to beat the Revel Performa3 for me to spend for them

They have an attractive look. If they sound as good as they look, it would be a good deal at a reasonable cost.

 

[afterlife2]

Saw this yesterday and almost got it. I think my Behringer is basically the same size with the same options and a bit more options. Paid I think $30ish for mine. I left without anything, except got a couple of cool t-shirts at my other Thrift store.

Yeah, but behringer vs. marshall though...

Well yeah of course, but price matters and mine has enough functions for my needs. It was hard to pass it by though. I'm sure some talented kid will get a kick out of it was my feeling at the time.

Those look very interesting. Nice looking cabs. I'm not familiar with them tho.

A lot of people do not know much about them ... but the drivers are expensive and are good ones with Scan-Speak Revelator woofers and SB Acoustics dimple dome tweeters ... the former Boston VS series had the SB Acoutics tweeters and they were nice. The woofer and tweeters retail for a little over $500 and the cabinets did not come with it. When someone builds DIY speakers, they sometimes do not always follow the proper specs and port tuning and cabinet bracing and stuffing properly ... plus on these cabinets in the picture, I am a little concerned about diffraction to the sides.

The guy does not seem anxious to sell them, and his communication seems poor ... plus my question is, why does he not already have an amp hooked up to them? Not a real big deal if I do not get them and not the end of the world ... some info here

RadioShack should have hired this guy, he might have saved the company

And you most likely get a fancy crossover with one cap on the midrange and one cap on the tweeter
