| POS Speakers I just picked up a nice stereo at walmart, an Emerson MS9600 Home Entertainment Stystem for a frugal $80 American. It's got a double cassette deck, an ergonomical panel, and a pimp-ass SIX disc CD changer. Best of all, a remote for all cd AND tuner functions. As I expected it has some crappy-ass speakers. I dont know if they were just cheap, or if I blew them out listing to a song called Instruments Of Destruction at max volume w/ bass. Anywoo, the speakers get REALLY fuzzy anywhere below 20 volume notches. Sooo.... Does anyone know of some high-quality stereo speakers i could get at a nice price? A name, price, and pic would be nice. ------------------   |

| I have a pair of Mordaunt-Short Festival II. They are absolutely incredible. They're really high-end speakers from the 70s... I played a 40Hz test tone through them pretty loud, could barely hear it in my room, but the windows of my house and the house next door were flexing and wobbling, pretty amazing. Just to chip in on a 7-year-old thread, haha. ------------------  Long live the first 20 members! - I'm number 15 *duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhuhuuuhuhuhuhuhhhuuh* |

Just to chip in on a 7-year-old thread, haha. Got DAMN- this thread really is 7 years old! Almost 8 years old! Unbelievable! Vintage stereos are awesome. My setup is just what I've found in my garage- basically my parent's old stuff. The speakers are Omega which is a good brand I guess (though maybe that only applies to watches), but they sound like 'meh' and the paper cones are old torn up. For me, the only thing going for my vintage setup is the fact that it's vintage- not for the sound quality. So, Jerome, to have a vintage setup that actually SOUNDS GOOD, that's freakin awesome. My better-quality-more-modern stereo is actually still pretty old... but not as old as this thread. In my OP I'm talking about an Emerson stereo... I don't remember what the problem I had with that was, but for some reason, I ended up returning it, and I got this basic Sony combo thing. I never really listen to music on it anymore though- all I use it for is watching movies on my laptop with. Now, all my music listening is either done with my shitty laptop speakers, my iPod, or my car stereo. EDIT: I actually just READ my OP, and I explain why I returned the Emerson stereo. When I returned it, I got the Sony stereo that I still have today. So my good stereo is exactly as old as this thread, minus a few weeks. Huh... myself from 8 years in the past just explained something to myself in the present. ------------------ |

| This is exactly what I have, the one I got 7 years ago after returning the one I referred to in the OP. There was an option for a $40 subwoofer, but I didn't get that and never needed it. Recently one of the cassette drives stopped working. Interesting thing about this stereo is Sony has been hawking basically the same thing for years. I think first they got rid of one cassette deck, then both. For awhile, it looked like this:  Recently I was walking through Wal-Mart and saw the latest generation of it, it had an iPod dock. ------------------ |

Just to chip in on a 7-year-old thread, haha. Late as usual, but at least it's nice to see somebody else with that unexplainable love to old stereos: My current setup:  The amp is probably from the late 70's, I found it 10 years ago when cleaning out an attic. I like the wierd throwaway handles on the side and the old style flick switches, it's so totally 70s design. Brand name says "Electown", apparently it was a brand used by Daewoo in the 1970s for the european market. CD Player was probably built around 2000, I recently bought that one on ebay as the old one was making wierd noises.  Record player... also a late 70's Technics, got as a gift from my grandma as she doesn't need it any more.  Speakers: no brand, as I built them myself in 2003. Picture is rather old, taken in my previous flat. I've got various other old stereo parts lying around, just no pictures right now, maybe I'll take some when there is more light outside. ------------------ -temporary placeholder for a new cool signature- |
