I was glad when I blew the midrange and bridged it out of the circuit with a 10 ohm power resistor. They actually sounded better. Find yourself a vintage pair of the original Advent Loudspeaker. |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 1669 Registered: Oct-04 | How dare you recommend that this nice gentleman buy a fancy new pair of speakers, when it entirely practical, not to mention environmentally friendly, to simply repair his classic pair of 70's audio history if & when (hevean forbid), after 30+ years, they bite the dust. You fanboys make me sick! Now if you will, I need to go attend to my smoking Emerson 8-Track player. |

Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 11978 Registered: May-04 | . Check with the guys at Audio Karma. Two thirds of them have that same eight track player and are in the process of refurbishing the unit. |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 1671 Registered: Oct-04 | You see that genuine pressboard! They just don't make them like that anymore.   |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 1672 Registered: Oct-04 | "yea older stereos,kicked any new stereos azz." Any? That's a pretty broad statement. http://www.mcintoshlabs.com/mcprod/shopdisplayproducts.asp?prodid=1174&product=M A7000 http://harmankardon.com/product_detail.aspx?Region=USA&Country=US&Language=ENG&c at=REC&prod=HK%203485&sType=C A 1977 Corvette L82 might be a classic, but you wouldn't want to compare specs, reliability, and conveniences to a 2008 Z06. 30+ years of scientific advancement goes a long long way. "all everybody cares about now is surround sound" Stick around here for a while and I think you'll find otherwise. |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 1673 Registered: Oct-04 | Don't get me wrong, I'd gladly take any spare 70's MAC equipment you have hanging around, or a '77 Vette for that matter, they are classics, but just writing off all new stuff is just wrong, IMHO. $300 goes a very long way today. Excellent receivers, speakers, sources can all be had for a song. Chris, if you haven't had the chance to listen to some new stereo equipment lately, treat yourself and go to a local Hi-Fi shop and see what it is I speak of. Even a Circuit City or Best Buy offers some very nice equipment, but I doubt you'll be able to audition it properly in that environment. And for the record, I have a Kenwood KR6600 (circa 1980) I picked out of the garbage in pristine condition, not a true classic, but very nice nonetheless. |

Gold Member Username: Mike3Wylie, Tx USA Post Number: 1004 Registered: May-06 | Got me, I was thinking of the famous L-88 which was on the '67.  |

Gold Member Username: CblazeRock island, Tenesssee Us Post Number: 1259 Registered: Sep-07 | my town doesnt have a circuit city or best buy lol.i live in a small town that is over crowded.i guess 300 a get me some good speakers what would yall reccomend?atleast a 12 in each speaker box tho |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 1677 Registered: Oct-04 | First I'd say, if you're happy with the Fishers, keep them. I don't know what you listen to, but if $300 is your budget, the Infinity Beta 20 from The Audio Video Source http://www.theaudiovideosource.com/1BetaSeries.html for $250 delivered, or the AV123 X-LS (check their website for prices) are your best choices, IMHO. I have the Beta 20s with my HK3485, and it's an excellent combo, but everyone here is sick of me singing the praises of the Betas, so try & get a listen for yourself if you can. But you can spend as little as this http://www.electronics-expo.com/make-a-store/item/INFPRIMUS152/Infinity/Primus-P 152/42.html and still get improvements, IMO. |
