Congratulations! Sounds like you got a great deal!

Without pictures it's hard to judge but it sounds like you may have one 10A with a Peerless and one with a Polk SL1000 tweeter. These are...

These are amazing speakers. Sound and look great. I'm sorry you have to part with them. Good luck with the sale!!!

I stopped by an estate sale over the weekend and was lucky to find a clean Bowers & Wilkins ASW600 subwoofer for sale for $110. I grabbed it and headed home immediately.

Plugged into my HT system...

Thanks for this write up - I have a set of 7bs at home that I am getting ready to mod in the same fashion (rings, tape, new caps and resistors) and I'm happy to hear that you liked the result.

This is a cool thread!

I'm interested to see that your KLH 6s continue to win out, even over the KG4s. I do recall that when we back-to-back tested your KLH 6s with mine, yours had more bass and...

+1 on the JB Weld. Don't gamble with your new woofer. i lost two myself -one on a 5B and one on a 7B. Now all of them are welded tight!

Hey all,

I wanted to share my enthusiasm for my latest pickup - a Boston Acoustic VR12 center channel!

I found it in great shape in the local CL- It came packed in its original box, plastic,...

Are the new speakers going to be on the same system as the Polk 75s or another system? If these are surrounds on the same system, I agree and would go for the Polks - while surround speakers put out...

Thanks for the information! I'll think about sending you the inductors - I'd likely just send along the entire crossover/mounting cup because I haven't taken anything apart.

Hello all,

I've been reading the posts here and in other places about inductors and have a few more questions - hope I'm not repeating something that's been stated somewhere else...

I have a...

Great job! And congratulations on bringing a piece of family history back to life!

I had a Realistic STA-790 receiver (a few years newer) that I really liked. I also now have a pair of Realistic...

I'm going to hold on to the B&Ws for sure. The Denon is interesting but I really don't have a use for it. I'll find some time to A/B the B&Ws on the Denon and my Pioneer VSX-820K to see what I like....

Just had to share now - sorry there are no pictures yet....

My wife took me Goodwill hunting yesterday and I'm glad she did - I found a pair of B&W DM601s for $35, and then a Denon AVR-1907...

Bump - still looking for these...

Thanks!

The grilles are different between models, at least between the 7B and 7C for sure. The 7Bs are wooden frames with the grille material stapled on. They fully cover the front of the speaker. I don't...

Amazing! Is there any way that so many drivers could sound good or is this just abstract art?

It may be blasphemy on this forum to mention, but CNET gave the latest Pioneer home theater combo great reviews (SP-PK22BS and SP-PK52FS). I would be very interested to hear from anyone on this forum...

I have a pair of AR2AXs at home that are waiting for restoration. To get inside, you need to remove the speaker grilles and pull out the drivers, which are screwed in to the front panel. The speaker...

Looks great! Congratulations!

Thanks!

I ended up finding another tweeter from someone else on the Polk Forum but by the time it got to me it had developed a buzz. I eventually replaced both tweeters in the pair with...

Do the 6510s have the magnet-shifting problems of the other midbass drivers? I can't remember what I have in my Polk 7As and 5As (6501s I think) but I've lost 3 drivers when the magnets shifted. Now...

+1. I have one of those Lepais. A great little amp. I would say ideal for near-field listening. Would be great for outdoor setups too - small, easy to bring in and out, and not a catastrophe if it...

I put a small bead around the top and bottom of the magnet where it meets the washers.

I would recommend a Harman Kardon 3380 or 3490 receiver. Modern, 2-channel, but with a great sound and plenty of power for your 10s. It has a good phono stage too. This way you get a clean design,...
