Are These Finds Good Deals?

Now that's interesting. There's a very similar deal for a pair of Outlaw subs out here too.

I'm still agonizing over the HSUs man, but I think I've talked myself back from the ledge. I don't know that I'd really gain anything. I already have a really good bass response with the 2 I have now, and they're both still under warranty. One of the ones he's selling is 5 years old, so out of warranty.

What makes it tougher to resist is I have the cash on hand right now. I stashed my speaker money in the bedroom from selling my Ultras. Of course the idea is to use that for my new center. Which hasn't shipped yet... sigh.
I think you are good you don't need those Hsu. BTW are you in a house or apt? don't remember. I had the 8 inch outlaw, but sold it.

Oh no... I just found a pair of Hsu VTF-15Hs for a thousand bucks!

Holy poop this is so tempting! I'd have four 15" HSU's! Or I could keep the 15Hs and sell my VTF-3 MK5s for about the same amount!

Man oh man oh man, someone buy these before I do!
Read this very carefully, @Pogre . In fact stare. Take it all in; revel in it:

Do it.
You deserve it.
It will be the best thing. EVER!


Got it? ;)

I'm in a house and have never had a complaint. I have room for 2 more big subs too. Multiple spots in fact. I can even hide 2 of them!

Go for it then if the wife accepts it. Those Outlaws are tempting me, but no space for them unless I sell some stuff again. Those new PB1Kpro also tempting.

Might pay 500 for the MK2 but I doubt he'd do that. My MK5s are better subs than the 15H so it'd only drag me down.

I got all excited and skipped right over the fact that they're 2 different models, and there are significant upgrades with the MK2.

You could always make an offer on the one, start at 5, maybe go to 550. ;)
I'd love to experiment with a third Sub in my room! :D
I have room too... there's a spot in a corner behind the sectional sofa, out in the kitchen behind me opposite the 2 up front, lots of room in the den off to my right...

It's a good deal if he'll play ball. If not, whatevs. :)

Just sent him an email and offered 500 for the MK2. Well see if he bites!

If he replies fast enough I can run out and grab it before the missus gets home. I'll stash it behind the couch. She might not see it for a day or 2 that way... :p

"What new Sub, Babe?"
...
"Oh, that thing behind the couch? I've had that for a while: just decided to try it out and fix that hole in my FR."
...
"Nah, Hon. You know I wouldn't do that without checking first!"

I was wondering why they looked like they were two different sizes in the photo. Wasn't sure if it was just perspective or that I need more sleep. lol

More interesting with a model number but could be interesting anyways..... https://eugene.craigslist.org/ele/d/eugene-speakers-big-and-heavy/7284423964.html
They could be the SB-7000A ... for $25 or free, they can be fixed up ... replace the crossover parts with new ones should be one need

Anyone know anything about these Marantz monoblocks? I've never seen them before. They look old enough that I wouldn't roll the dice but curious all the same.

The price is right!

I usually skip over those old vintage style speakers, but those at least have a chance of being decent coming from JBL. Er, Technics? Hm. Might be resellable fixed up.
For you

Ha, when I said that 99% of anything from Technics was junk the other day, these were the the 1% good I was thinking about. :p

Sheeeit... I just saw that HD could get those free just for getting them off the seller's hands! They don't look like there's a lot of fixing up to do aside from a little cosmetic work. I might even bite if that was local.
