Lol, yeah he found out what he has. I'd be like this, coming that close to snatching up an awesome pair of speakers.

I would have, 100 bucks! They looked good from the pics. 12" driver's mounted in each Tower.

WELL??

I'm telling you right now I might be willing to pay to ship it depending on what it is. What model of Marantz is it? You said it's a receiver right?

*Edit: Hell, my son just moved into his own place and doesn't have a stereo system at all. I have some spare speakers I'm planning to gift to him, and a Marantz receiver to power them would be really nice. So even if I can't use it he definitely could!

Yeah, I didn''t get any notifications until literally just now about all this. It's a SR-5006. Older model, from 2013. And sure, I'm happy to find a box and some packing material (I lack for neither) around here somewhere and ship it to ya if you're willing to pick up that specific tab.

 

[Jerkface]

Yeah, bro post up a photo of that amp. Like Pogre stated more than likely a AH member will be willing to take it off your hands.

Like I said, I got no notifications until just now. It's an older amp, but it's not like it's a 6.1 or something.

If Pogre doesn't want it (since he's been the most persistent), maybe someone a little more local (I'm in Central FL) will be interested and we can just do a handoff.

@zieglj01 What does the 8,000+ reviews have to say? You be the judge. If that is your budget, buy and see if the sound fits your ears or not.

I am retired, and I will not spend 3 days reading 8,000 reviews from Amazon ... so instead I purchased the Presonus HD-7

I think that I have found my happy place with the Elac BS41 speakers ... in my room even with them about 12 inches from the back wall and even more from the side walls, the rear port was a bit too much ... a sock in the port effects it too much ... so I put poly-batten in the rear ports, that way some air can still pass through ... so with that and the tweeter grill removed this is an all around better sounding speaker and some good sounding budget-friendly speakers

Well one more time ... Well after doing more so called analytical listening today ... I decided that after taming the sort of over-ripe port, that the overall sound seemed to be a little off balance ... so I put them Tweeter grills back on and this brought more overall balance ... So for me with the port full open, the tweeter grill needed to come off ... And with the port tamed the tweeter grill needs to be back on ... all in all for me, this is an impressive set of budget speakers and they are keeping the modified Cambridge speakers out of duty for now.

Thank you for getting back to us! I'm afraid that unit won't be up to date enough for my son's use so I'm gonna pass. If it had more updated connections I'd have taken you up on it tho!

Wow, your son has been spoiled if this receiver isn't going to fit for his first one! I know folks who could use it but as I'm in Canada, I expect the Freight and Customs hassle would be a pain, or I'd go for it. I wonder what this gift would cost to ship to Vancouver?

He has devices with more modern HDMI connections.

Thanks @Pogre for the explanation. Some time ago, I gave one of my brothers a very old Denon I had (with HDMI) but it just died. He doesn't need the latest (think immersive) so this could work.

 

[zieglj01]

Well as the Amazon World Turns ... the Elac BS41 has gone from $68 up to $149

Ballparking the weight at about 45 pounds (probably a gross exaggeration, but I didn't have a scale handy) you're looking at a hundred bucks. I posted it up in Classified if you want to see a photo.

Hey now, these look very interesting! KEF Reference 201XL large bookshelf speakers or mini towers with the original stands for $1200. These were pretty pricey (tri-ampable even!) new. The stands weren't cheap either at $1200 for them alone per the ad.

I used to drool over those at my local shop. Would probably grab them just for nostalgia sake.

$750 for a used older 10" sub?

It's the Let's Go Brandon pricing on used gear.

I just saw a 7 channel Aragon amp for sale @ $2200. Kurt and I sold one back and forth for $750. Now I wanna buy it back for $750 if he doesn't want it anymore. I knew I shoulda bought more amps before covid.

They're really cool looking speakers. I know that whole reference line is generally sought after. Does that model have the internal chamber for bass drivers like its big brothers?

The ones with crescent shaped ports don't have internal woofers.

Um, a pair of Maggie MG1's for $100? Not much in the description and out of town, but that seems really low for Magnepans if in good condition, no?

Can't tell much from the piss-poor pics or the description, but no obvious signs of damage or mention of being beat up or inoperable.
