Micca MB42X Bookshelf Speakers might be as good as the Pioneer SP-BS22-LR or better?

One day I'll get those Cambridge S30's you have had me intrigued since I've been here. Do they have a center as well?

Hey if you're interested in getting a pair of used speakers and doing a little modding, then perhaps you can find a cheap pair of Polk Rti28's. Throw in a little Dennis Murphy crossover magic and voila.\

I'm afraid you'll have to buy them used--they've been discontinued, and neither Amazon nor Crutchfield has any left. But if you can fine a pair, they're definitely a step up from the Pioneers.

Dang I don't need anymore speakers I say to myself. Thanks Dennis, so these will sound good with every gen of music?

Fuzz I would not even attempt trying to put something like that together. I do like tinkering, but I gots no skills like you and the other fellas.

I was reading post #22 - where the afterlife2 quote is

However, if anyone is looking for the Cambridge - they know where to find them.

Huh? You mean Dennis?

I am not really interested in their center - I would get another pair of the S30 and
use one as a center channel.

However, I have heard no major complaints about their center - so, if one is limited in
placement options, then it is worth the risk at the closeout price.

What is today - Thursday, Friday or Saturday?

That's not really a super low price for the S30s. It's only about $20 less than they used to sell for, but that was already a good price

Audio Advisor has the smaller S20 for $149 http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=CAS20 BLK

I paid $219 a pair, for the 2 pair that I bought - $179 is still a good deal.

As with most speakers, there will be some who might not prefer their sound.

Edit - correction, it was $219 instead of $229

 

[j_garcia]

I think $219 was their normal price, but AA and a few other places used to put them on sale a few times a year for $199.

 

[afterlife2]

I remember Amazon had them for $219 as well. If these go even lower than $179 I'll have to get them. They will be my Carnegie's.

 

[j_garcia]

Those Oak S70s look like a decent deal too at $129 ea. They look better in black IMO, but they want $40/ea. more for the black. If they were a little less...

 

[afterlife2]

^^Just think of it as + shipping price.

 

[j_garcia]

Yes, the free shipping is a bonus on the towers.
