Item: Rogers RPS-702 portable speaker Location: Gembrook or Knoxfield, VIC Price: $20 Item Condition: Very good Reason for selling: No longer used. JBL Charge2 has taken over. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only. Happy to post at buyers expense. Extra Info: Simple portable speaker with Stereo 3.5mm audio input only. Plug-pack input and USB power input options.

Item: 5.1 RCA Cable. 850mm long Location: Gembrook or Knoxfield, VIC Price: $40 Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: NLR. New AVR doesn't have multi-channel analogue inputs. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only. Happy to post at buyers expense. Extra Info: This cable was used for multi-channel SACD/DVD-Audio playback into a Yamaha AVR that had a 7.1 analogue input. Replacement AVR doesn't have that facility and I'm content with the DACs in the new AVR. Originally a 2m 'Prolink' brand AV cable. I cut it down to make up a custom RCA to D25 cable for a fellow SNA member's Rotel HT processor. I then fitted the Gold Snake RCA connectors to the remaining length to make up this cable for my own use. Pictures:

Item: Marantz NR-1501 7.1 Channel Slimline AVR (Black) Location: Gembrook or Knoxfield, VIC Price: $280 Item Condition: Very good. Reason for selling: Updated to NR-1508 for new features. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only. Happy to pack really well and post at buyers expense. Extra Info: I bought this for my daughter when they moved into their home, but they didn't want to run speaker cables, so opted for a Yamaha sound-bar system. So I happily kept it to replace an old Yamaha Receiver. Recently upgraded to the NR-1508 while they were on clearance, so this unit is no longer required. Comes with all accessories including the setup microphone, AM loop antenna, remote, etc. Supports HDMI V1.3a along with Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD. Lots of features.

Item: Jamo E5CEN.5 compact centre speaker Location: Gembrook or Knoxfield, VIC Price: $100 Item Condition: Very good. Some wear in bottom left corner of grille as shown in photo, but only noticeable from close-up. Reason for selling: Upgraded. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only. Happy to post at buyers expense. Extra Info: 70W RMS. 100W Peak. 8 Ohms. 2x 4" Mid-bass. 1x 1" dome tweeter. 90dB/2.8V/1m. Frequency range: 65-20,000Hz. Shielded drivers. 438 (W) x 136 (H) x 150 (D). 4.4kg This is a great little Centre-channel speaker if you have limited space, which was the reason I purchased it. It's a sealed enclosure, so not too fussy with placement either. Have owned since new and it hasn't been worked hard. Recent changes to my HT system meant that I was able to upgrade to something larger and a little better. Pictures: Jamo E5_brochure.pdf

Item: Heavy duty steel speaker stands Location: Gembrook or Knoxfield, VIC Price: $50 Item Condition: Good Reason for selling: No longer required. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only. Sorry, but due to shape & weight, I prefer not to post/courier unless buyer wants me to drop off at a pack & send at their own expense. Extra Info: I purchased these so I could use my Richter Merlins in our loungeroom for about 9 months while I was building my new speakers. The Merlins have been back in the bungalow for a year, sitting on a pair of low cabinets and I can't see me needing the stands again in the foreseeable future. Don't know what brand they are, but they are very solid and well built. The tops each have 5 little adhesive felt pads on them at present, but these can easily be removed if not required. I will add dimensions tonight. Could deliver to outer eastern suburbs if necessary for a little petrol money. PM with your location. Pictures:

Welcome Ben, I can't help with identifying the speaker, I'm sorry. If you don't get any ideas from other members, you might consider carefully removing one of the mid-bass drivers to see if there are any clues inside, like driver brand/model number or any identifying labels or text on the crossover.

Selby Folk Club kicks off 2019 with Whiskey Dram tonight, Fri 1st Feb. Very entertaining eclectic folky band. Loved their set at an outdoor gig at Emerald Lake Park last Feb, so looking forward to tonight. https://selbyfolkclub.com.au/events/

Hifi Engine is usually a good resource, but this model not listed. There are some other AA models there but nothing that looks like yours. https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/akai.shtml?category=integrated-amplifier You could make an enquiry at Analog Alley and see how you go. http://www.analogalley.com/m_akai.htm Good luck.

It would if there were a lot more brands that offered it. I have a vintage system in my bungalow that was all champagne-gold and all same width consisting of Marantz amp & tuner and Pioneer universal DVD player. Then a Pioneer tuner came along that was too good to resist regardless of colour and size. But it does have some gold trim, buttons and labelling, so it's not too bad!

I always thought the plastic coarse-threaded height adjustment was the main thing that let down the Jaycar and Traveler brand ones that I have used in the past. You say that this one has "easy" height adjustment. Do you mean that it has a nice fine and smooth adjustment?

Wouldn't worry too much about your purchase. The DALI's are well engineered and very good value. I just upgraded my Centre speaker to a DALI Zensor. I had budgeted to spend a bit more, but the Zensor Centre ticked all my boxes and I've had no regrets.
