FS: Monitor 7Bs, speaker cables, Preamp

[AndyGwis]

Hey Guys,

I'm going to be moving here in the not too distant future, so I'm trying to "trim the fat" on my audio inventory. Lighten the load, if you will. Paypal preferred at no extra charge. Money Order or Cash (local pickup) cool as well.

Monitor 7Bs - All original drivers, tweeters, etc. Second owner. Bought off Agon sometime ago for $130 + $35 stands + delivery charge. Solid 8/10 on Audiogon scale. Local pickup only. Love them, but haven't used them in a long time and don't want to risk having them damaged when I move. They've been sitting in my storage closet for months safely packaged. Grills are 100%, couldn't find tears or anything.

Price: $150 with stands local pickup only (Speakers sold to Russ, stands to MillerLight (pending disassembly :) currently, pending details and such)

Kenwood Preamp KC-207 - Not hifi by any means, but a solid little performer that would be perfect for that second rig, garage setup, outdoor speakers, etc. Tons of very nice features (remote controllable with universal, phono input, equalizer, lighted display that can be turned on and off, etc.). Even have the manual for this bad boy.

Price: $60 shipped, $50 local pickup

AudioQuest Type-2 Speaker cables - 8ft pair in great condition, 9/10. Manned my HT fronts for a year or so and performed very well. Naners all around. Great braid finish, typical AQ high quality product. A very economical way to upgrade from cheapo wire / DIY to get the look, feel, and sound your system deserves.

Sold to Stereo_lover, congrats!!!

QED Classic BiWire - 8ft BiWire speaker cables factory terminated with naners all around, 9/10. Like the AQ type-2, a very economical way to get into a decent speaker cable. Sound is very detailed and bass is controlled and punchy. About the cheapest biwire you can find with factory termination, so give it a shot! Bought for $50 + shipping new off ebay last year. Wanted to use in bedroom setup, but A35R doesn't take naners.

Price: $40 shipped, $35 local pickup

Let me know if you have any questions. I'm in North Dallas (Addison area) near Beltline and the Tollway.

Someone jump on those 7Bs! Those are very nice, especially with the peerless tweeters. I wish I were local.

[AndyGwis]

Sorry, I forgot to rotate two of the pics. Rotate your head and it will work well :)

These have the peerless, and the fuse in the back (the preferred version of them) and are pretty minty for being 30 years old. Hopefully they come out of the closet in as good of shape.

Wow, that sounded like a gay reference. Not sure of speakers' sexual orientation, but I bet they would be happy to please anyone (sonically, that is).

[MillerLiteScott]

I want a pair of 7's. I love the 5's I have now. I wish I was local.:D

[AndyGwis]

wish I was local.:D

That's easy. . . move to Dallas and you will be local.

[george daniel]

if you decide to ship the 7b's,,, :) I'll take em

[AndyGwis]

How about I meet you in Mississippi. . . bring the LSi15s and we can trade straight up :)

[jakelm]

The drivers may freeze up in shipping..Local pick up is the smart move.

[george daniel]

How about I meet you in Mississippi. . . bring the LSi15s and we can trade straight up :)


Uh,,let me think,,,,nope :) ,seriously,, if you cant/don't sell them please pm me,,I have an employee coming to Dallas in april,but he is flying ,,do you think these will pass as carry on? :D

[stereo_luver]

PM sent on the AudioQuest Cables

[stereo_luver]

You wanna meet in Mississippi with the Monitor 7's?...LOL...I'm there in a flash!!

[AndyGwis]

PM responded to. AQs Sold pending payment which I'm told will be so fast my head will spin :)

[zombie boy 2000]

That's how Senor Stereo_luver pays... like The Flash and Speedy Gonzales had a baby while snorting trucker pills.

[RuSsMaN]

I'm interested in the 7's, do I have to take the stands?

[stereo_luver]

PAID!!!...sorry it took so long. I had my internet connection slow down on me. I'll try harder next time.

Thanks for the cables
Feedback left when item arrives...or whatever???

[MillerLiteScott]

I'm interested in the 7's, do I have to take the stands?

Russ,

I am interested in the stands for my Monitor 5's. Maybe we can work a combo package deal? And first dibs on the Monitor 7's when and if you decide to sell.

Scott

[AndyGwis]

WHOA, Russ might be buying something FROM me?!?! Isn't that ass backwards?

Are we at the nexxus of the universe here?!?

Russ, you've got mail. We should chat.

MillerLite, I'll look into shipping the stands your way if I can take them apart or something. They'd be a bit bulky for shipping in their current state.


Andy

[MillerLiteScott]

Cool, Thanks.

Scott

[AndyGwis]

Bump for those taking an afternoon break from work. No price break with this mid-day bump. . . but I will give you some entertainment. An oldie but goodie:

[AndyGwis]

Soooo. . . how bout that Terry Tate video? Pretty sweet, huh?

[RuSsMaN]

Mark 'em sold sans stands Andy, we'll figure out the details.

[AndyGwis]

TGIF, ladies and gents.

The Kenwood Pre and QED biwire cables are still up for grabs.

[AndyGwis]

Update as of 2:30 pm CST, 3/23:

Stands shipped UPS to Miller.
AQs shipped UPS to Stereo.
Monitors disinfected and partially deurinized for Russ.

[MillerLiteScott]

Cool.

Thanks Andy

Check your email. I have directed my accountant to cut you a check and send it off snail mail.

Thanks,

Scott

[AndyGwis]

I have directed my butler to notify me when the check arrives.

[MillerLiteScott]

Wow you have a butler also. I will make sure my butler mails the check.

:cool:

Scott

[MillerLiteScott]

Andy my butler put the check in the mail today.

Thanks

Scott

[AndyGwis]

Great. My Butler told the live-in maid to tell the chef to tell my stylist that the package would be there Wednesday.

[RuSsMaN]

I've seen you in person, you need to fire your stylist.

[Ricardo]

I want a 25 years old live-in maid :cool: :cool:

[AndyGwis]

Ouch, Russ. . . major ouch.

Besides a questionable IceMan / Val Kilmeresque flat-top look so many years ago, I'd have to categorically object to your statement.

[RuSsMaN]

Years ago?

Last time you came over you were chewing gum (loudly), and when I asked if you wanted to buy some speaker cables also - you 'snapped' your jaw closed at me and said: "You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you go talking about audio, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous."

That's right! Ice... man. I am dangerous.

Cheers,
Maverick

[AndyGwis]

God, I love that sequence. I act that out quite often with friends and co-workers. . . and I always play the role of Ice Man, and play it well. Man, it's too bad Val had to pass away so young. What, Val's still alive you say?!? Noooooo way. . .

Also a lot of high five, windmill, reverse low-fiving going on around here.

When you getting these speakers? I'm going to go check out the 2e's over lunch.

[zombie boy 2000]

I see an unnecessary shirtless volleyball sequence in the Forum's future...

[MillerLiteScott]

Andy I received the stands today in perfect condition and excellent packaging.

I had my butler put them together and got to listen to a song or 2 and they give the speakers great mid bass and midrange. Bass was also quite punchy. All good.

Those Monitor series Polks just look at home sitting on those stands.

Thanks,

Scott

[AndyGwis]

Maybe the extra midbass was just your butler humming along to the tracks. I usually have to tell mine to shut up before I do critical listening.

Glad you got them and are enjoying.

Stereo, did you get your cables yet?
