Item: Acoustic Research AR-2ax Location: Canberra ACT Price: $95 Item Condition: Need some TLC Reason for selling: Not getting any TLC Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Classic early 70s Acoustic Research speakers. Pretty uncommon in Australia as far as I can tell. These are largely in working order, but definitely need some love. Could be a stunning pair of classic speakers with a bit of work. Sold as is. Feel free to ask for extra photos/details. All drivers are original and functioning, although woofers need new surrounds and at least one tweeter appear to have been rewired at some point (see pics) 1 of the ceramic tone pots is half missing and I think has been bypassed. The other three appear to be okay. For some unknown reason, the previous owner cut some pieces out of the back of the cabinets to access the tone controls (see pics) There's at least one crack in one of the grills, can feel it when you take the grills off but can't see it I have a real soft spot for Acoustic Research speakers, but after having these sit around for a couple of years, I think it's time to admit to myself that I'm probably not going to get around to fixing them up any time soon. Would strongly prefer local pickup given the size and weight of these. Photos:

Bump and price drop!

Just messaged you.

Let's just say he hasn't been borrowing any more speakers 🙄

Exactly what CT-7567 said. Thanks!

Item: Acoustic Energy Radiance 1 Standmount Speakers Location: Canberra, ACT Price: $250 $220 Item Condition: Generally good - dent in one woofer, priced accordingly. Reason for selling: Upgraded to the Reference 1s. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Bought these ex-demo in 2014 and used them in my main system for about four years. Retail price at the time was more than $1500. They have some serious presence for a small bookshelf speaker and a lovely detailed top-end. They like power and really thrive with some good quality amplification. I'm only selling as I've upgraded to some higher end Acoustic Energy speakers. Condition-wise, there are a couple of chips off the veneer on the top of the speakers and a dent in one of the woofers (due to a transport mishap when lent to a friend) - I think it looks worse in the pictures than in real life. I can't guarantee that this doesn't affect the sound, but I could never detect any issues. I believe I've priced the pair accordingly (honestly I think they're stupendous speakers at the price). I have the original packaging and manual, happy to post at buyer's expense. Photos:

Item: NHT SuperTwo Location: Canberra Price: $300 Item Condition: Excellent. Piano finish looks great. Foam driver surrounds going strong. Small hole in one of the grills Reason for selling: Moving Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Great sounding speakers for the price. Plenty of bass thanks to the downwards firing sub drivers. Would rather not post at the moment as I don't have any boxes for them. May reconsider if anyone can suggest an easy place to get suitable packaging. Pictures:

Pm sent. Will take these if you will post.

Pm sent with intent to purchase

Sorry to revive an old thread but thought I'd try before starting a new one. I recently got a Freya and was wondering if anyone could confirm either way - will I get any sound from the balanced outs if I'm in passive/JFET mode and running from an RCA input? Keen to know before I bother investing in XLRs. Thanks in advance!

Item: Tag Mclaren PA10 Preamplifier Location: Canberra Price: $330 + postage Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: Trying out valves Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: This is a lovely transparent class A preamp. Essentially a souped-up UK made Audiolab. Has 5 line level inputs, including three tape loops. Has an excellent built-in switchable moving magnet/moving coil phono stage as well as a dedicated headphone amplifier. I've used this amp almost daily for over 4 years and during that time it hasn't missed a beat. I'm only selling as I'm trying out something with valves and don't have the room for multiple amps. Will try and post some better photos soon. Postage at buyers expense but feel free to make me an offer. Pictures:

Item: Jamo D 4Cen Centre Speaker (Light Apple) Location: ACT Canberra Price: $160 (including $10 donation to site) Item Condition: Very Good Reason for selling: Not being used Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Nice Danish Made Jamo centre speaker. This model was just under $1000 when new. Tested and sounds great. It has a pretty noticeable indent line on top of the cabinet and a few marks and scratches on the bottom. Otherwise in very good condition. It came with some floor-standers I bought, but I don't have a home theatre set-up has no need for it.
