  6. Item: Osborn F1 custom speakers Location: Clifton Hill, Vic Price: $200 Item Condition: Used, in good condition Reason for selling: not being used Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal Extra Info: Greg originally made these F1 speakers (Focal drivers) for us with a face plate only (open baffle). They were made so we could flush mount them as rear speakers in the wall. After not being used for a few years they were put into a box in as a spare set. These would make a good project for someone wanting to rebox them. Photos:
  7. Looking for some advice on new speakers please. I thought I had it all figured out until I read an article on Darko's site by Srajan Ebaen http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2014/02/kih-6-loading-the-room/%C2'> I've been saving up for some floorstanding speakers at around $3K, probably second hand. They will go in a surround system, but my real focus for sound quality is for two channel, not surround. I currently don't have a sub but am also looking to add one of those, probably about $1K, e.g. SVS SB2000. My room is about 7m x 5m x 2.7m (22x16x9 feet), with lots of hard surfaces and few opportunities for treatments. I have a young family, so moderate listening levels will be the reality 95% of the time. I listen to a wide range of music, but folk, rock, blues would be a good ball park. Using RRPs, one example might be Kef R500 ($3,700) vs. Kef R300 ($2,600) + SVS SB2000 ($1,000). So will I be more likely to get better sound from floorstanders or standmounts plus sub? Pros and cons of each set-up? Thanks Corey

  9. Hi all, inspired by http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-57439115-47/build-your-own-desktop-stereo-for-under-$70/ I am looking for good cheap bookshelf speaker to go with either Lepai 2020+ or Topping TP20 (not decided yet). Having done some research, my options come down to: Dayton B652, Sony SS-B1000 and Micca SB42X. All of them around USD 60-70. Unfortunately the shipping from US is so expensive that it is more expensive than the speakers. Looking at JBHifi, I found Wharfedale AT-200 for less than AUD150 which in the end will cost me the same as those speakers above, except with Wharfedale, all the cost goes to the speakers. Can I expect Wharfedale AT-200 sounds significantly better than those three speakers? Anyone has any experience with any of dayton, sony or micca? Also, if you can suggest between Lepai 2020+ vs Topping TP20. Thank you.
  10. Item: B&W 685 Bookshelf Speakers (Black Ash) Location: Melbourne Eastern-ish suburbs (Balwyn) Price: SOLD Item Condition: Immaculate as new Reason for selling: Surplus to my needs Payment Method: Pickup - Cash if picking up, DD if posting Extra Info: These were purchased 11/02/14 from Clef HiFi. They are a fantastic bookshelf speaker in immaculate as new condition, not a single mark on them and as you'd expect sound fantastic. Run from the Burson Audio Conductor and Timekeeper since new and in a child/pet/smoke free home. Very regretful sale but my wedding is heading over budget, something has to give and my loss is your gain. All original packaging still available. Will sell as a package deal with my Immaculate <3 month old Burson Audion Timekeeper power amp for a package deal price of $2500 and will throw in a 3m pair of Chord Silver Screen speaker cable. That's less than the cost of the Timekeeper alone! Pictures:
  11. Item: One pair of Eos Bookshelf speakers by Greg Osborn (These are the standard model finished in Jarrah.) Location: Bowen Nth Qld Price: $1250 (including postage anywhere in Oz) Item Condition: Excellent, no external marks visible. Reason for selling: I'm starting to force myself to face reality, having a pair of spare speakers that I almost never use is just not practical. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD or direct deposit (assuming the buyer is happy to do so) Extra Info: Purchased from Greg Osborn in August last year, approx 250 hours on them so they are probably not finished running in yet. They sound very good but I'm going to keep my Lenehans and move these on. I'll pack these speakers back in the original boxes and packing, I haven't managed to find the receipt yet but I'm looking. If anyone is interested I can also offer an integrated amp for $750 (that will do these little beauties justice) cd player (for $500) and cabling ($100) to suit. The only item I can't offer is a pair of stands. Pictures: A comparison shot with my S2Rs. And grill-less. And this is where they have lived for most of the last 18 months.
  12. I am new to the world of speakers and need some help in finding a nice 2.0 system. All my audio gear has been focused on my headphone systems so I am going to need either active speakers or a small(ish) amp as well. The room these speakers are going into is 3.0 x 3.3m and this is in a share house so I would prefer to avoid a subwoofer. The speakers I currently have are Swan M200 MkIII, but they are not as high fidelity as I would like. Budget: $2,000 - 3,000 incl. amp....but I if there is something worth reaching for let me know. I guess I have a slight preference for active speakers just because it means I don't need to find more space for another amp, but other than that I guess I would prefer them to sit on top of my desk although I could possibly fit speaker stands/narrow floorstanders in a pinch. Because I am wanting to avoid a sub I would prefer to have a frequency response that is as wide as possible (within reason). I also prefer timber finishes on speakers....an aesthetics thing . I listen to an extremely broad range of music, but to help narrow things let's say the main ones are classical, orchestral, jazz and electronic. I am not overly concerned about creating an accurate soundstage and I am not interested in room treatments. The main points are clarity and musicallity. I would prefer that the instruments sound more "real" (in particular the piano) rather than having wide soundstaging or pinpoint imaging and I like a touch of warmth in the sound. I will be using them with my Eximus DP1 DAC and If I can buy them within Australia that would be preferred (second hand is ok). On a side note, if these speakers were also capable of sounding halfway decent in a large room (say 4.0 x 5.0m) that would be a nice bonus. My apologies if this is a little vague, please ask me to clarify anything I have missed. Thanks in advance. EDIT: 1 - Forget the woodgrain 2 - Let's stick with Active monitors 3 - To clarify "warm sounding", I just want speakers that deliver engaging music. I do not want anaemic, analytical sound. These are not for mixing.
  13. Great Dynaudio Excite X12 bookshelf speakers in gorgeous Cherry finish. Complete with stands and 20 metres+ of cable each. Slight scratch on side of one of speakers (see photo) Pickup from Neutral Bay, NSW $1,100
  14. Hi Guys, Im considering to help others to build DIY speakers. I dont have much talent on finishing other than some shellac and oil finish though. So dont expect wilson/sonus faber level of finishing So here is what i have now : 1. Makita Circ Saw with multiple guides ( 2 KREG and 1 Homemade ) 2. Makita RT0700CX Router with Jasper JIG 3. Compressor (Nail gun, stapler and possible sprayer if needed) 4. DATS (to measure impedance, phase and driver parameters) 5. Omnimic v2 (to measure and simulate passive XO) 6. Behringer ECM8000 calibrated by Cross Spectrum Labs (almost forgot this one ) I usually order my timber pre cut from supplier (birch ply from bruynzeel), and do fine adjustment upon building. Im not sure if this attract anyone, but im taking this opportunity to learn more about speaker building (or just say fine tuning with what i have learnt so far ) My previous project was (not all in Aussie ) : 1. alpair5 TL 2. Alpair10 FR in Pensil 3. Jordan JX92S in ML-TL designed collaborated by Greg Monfort and Jim Griffin. 4. OB with Beyma 12CX and dual 15" by Eminence Beta and Alpha (active in 600mm baffle width) 5. Alpair 10 Bass wide and Alpair 5 in BR 6. Satori, RAAL and Kappalite 3way 7. Exodus Anarchy Tapped Horn (built 4 of these) 8. SB17 and SB29 2way series XO 9. SB15 and SB29 in MTM series XO (2.5way) Im interested to help in the following project : 1. any project involving SB Acoustics drivers (as they have a very good price vs performance) 2. Econowave style (Large woofers with CD waveguides) 3. Line Arrays (as i have few prototype but not yet finished it) 4. PushPull SUB / Dual Opposed SUB 5. Bill Fitzmaurice's Horn Sub 6. Anything with Tapped Horn. 7. Active OB (could be H-frame, U-frame or even plain OB), i consider active, since we will need to deal with EQ and compensation, which is almost impossible to do with passive xo without extensive trial and error. The list above is something that i like to venture on and to get to know more about different types of speakers, but overall im open to experiement or not, if its just a kit. Well PM me if you are interested cheers henry
  15. A few weeks ago I purchased a new set of Dynaudio Focus 160 (from a special at Rio Sound and Vision). FINALLY, I've had the time to unpack out and try them out. Currently, I'm running a Denon AVR 2807 with B&W 603s3 front, LCR 600 centre and B&W LM1 rears. I live in a smallish apartment so no sub (it would be total overkill with the 603s). My main transport is a Logitech Squeezebox Touch linked to a Synology NAS (full of my .flac files) feeding into a Moon 100D DAC. The turntable is a Project Debut Carbon with standard OM10 cartridge feeding into a Moon 110LP Phono amp and Chord Crimson RCA interconnects for both the Phono and DAC. I've heard over and over that Dynaudio speakers require a lengthy run-in time, however, I'll give you my first impressions after 2 hours of medium/high level listening. Also, I've set the Dyns up temporarily sitting on their foam packaging on little Ikea tables and I appreciate this is far from ideal (plan to purchase some stands for them). Specs (from manufacturer) Sensitivity 85 dB IEC Power handling > 200 W Impedance 4 Ω Frequency Response 44 Hz – 21 kHz (± 3 dB) Weight 7.6 kg Dimensions (W x H x D) 202 x 350 x 294 mm 7.9 x 13.8 x 11.6" Build Quality From the moment they were unpacked, these speakers exuded quality. The black piano finish is precise and this is evident by the fact that you can see your own reflection without leaping back three feet after being greeted with a horribly distorted figure. The boxes feel solid weighing 7.6kg each and the overall finish and precise placement of the drivers is second to none. They are rear ported and their rear terminals, although single inputs (no bi-wiring/bi-amping) accept either banana plugs or sufficiently thick bare wires. Aesthetics Beautiful... really! As mentioned above, the piano finish is excellent and the tapered (to the rear) cabinets look smart and I'm sure have a practical function. The detachable grill sits approx 1cm from the cabinet's front face. They have a contemporary look and would fit in with almost any decor given that they are available in a range of finishes. I often hear dynaudio speakers described as being very 'industrial' like design and although I think this is true for the DM series and C1/C2, I think the Focus series is a far more conventional and versatile (not to say that I wouldn't jump at a pair of C1s given the opportunity). Sound Quality (The most important bit) Okay, I'm not adept at reviewing audio gear, but i'll do my best here. I set the the speakers up in an A/B config on my receiver, although I must add that the B&W towers were running in a bi-amped config through the receiver so potentially had an advantage (debatable). Room placement was also different with the Dyns sitting at least 1.5 foot in front of the B&W (this may affect bass response). Firstly, any buyers remorse faded very quickly. The Dyns exhibited a extremely controlled response with seemingly even response across all frequencies (excluding the very low bass <45hz). When I first powered up the Dyns and switched the receiver to 'B' speakers, I had to double check the setting as my girlfriend immediately asked "When can we listen to the new speakers". To my amazement, the settings were correct and we had the Dyns pumping away while the B&Ws sat silent. The treble response is crisp without sounding over-analytical and the finest details are reproduced effortlessly. Even at high volumes, I felt comfortable and not overwhelmed by harsh treble tones. I found the Dyns to a be a more forward sounding speaker over the B&Ws, although their placement woud have contributed. The refined treble meant that listening to these babies at high volumes did not leave you feeling like you'd just had your ears drilled out by a Black & Decker. The mids were smooth and presented vocals in a truly life-like way, which really took Tracy Chapman's self-titled album to a new level for me. I would describe the mids as being realistic and balanced with a focus on vocals. I've often heard speakers that make the vocals sound distant or muffled, the Dyns brought them to life in a way I have never heard. In terms of bass, these little guys do a tremendous job. For this task, I turned to Kraftwerk's 'Electric Cafe' and various rap tracks from 2pac. The first thing I noticed about the bass response was 'controled'. Surprisingly, the little Dyns handled frequencies that I never thought possible from a standmounted speaker. If your primary listening is rap/electro then I would probably suggest a subwoofer, however, I found the lower bass sufficient. The B&Ws definitely have the edge with low-down bass, however, that is to be expected given their 2.5way floorstander design. In saying that though, the Dyns were more than capable of filling my 18ft x 13ft living room. Conclusion Straight out of the box these speakers amazed me particularly with their ability to bring music to life. I would be keen to see if their performance improves from further listening and I think a 2 channel amp upgrade would improve them even further. If you are in the market for speakers in this price range ($3,200 retail), then I would highly recommend placing them on your audition list. Cheers, David
  16. Item: Opera Callas Bookshelf Speakers Location: Sydney CBD Price: $3500 Item Condition: Mint Reason for selling: Floorstanders Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, bank deposit - Can post - have boxes - totally mint! Extra Info: About 1 years old For sale is a mint set of Italian Hand Made Opera Callas bookshelf speakers. They retail for $6,500 here in Aus and are truly amazing for their size http://www.sydneyhificastlehill.com.au/prod156.htm (note price on site excludes GST). They really are one of the best bookshelf speakers I've owned since my old Elac 602's around 10 years ago. These speakers have so much detail, much like an old pair of Sonus Faber guarneri speakers. Remember the old ones with the sexy first order Crossover? Well these have that same smooth lilac velvet sound that seems to sound best with some tubes. I also had really good results from these speakers from my old ME75 amplifier. These speakers just make things listenable; I'd mention more typical Italian designed buzz words but honestly - the speakers 'speak' for themselves. Pictures: See below
  17. Hi all, Our little Signature i90 seem to have been a big hit at the Australian Audio & AV Show in Melbourne. Thanks for all the feedback and the positive posts in that thread. Those who experienced them already know how good they are, however we are getting lots of enquiries about from people who haven't heard them yet but have heard the 'buzz' about them. Their regular price is $999each in black or white. On orders taken from the 3 days between right now up to and including this Friday 8 Nov I'll do them for $699each. So why am I doing this?

Taking orders on Signature i90 for $699 each for 3 days. Go. FreeCall 1800 818 882 or email vaf@vaf.com.au Philip EMAIL - Signature i90 & i49.pdf EMAIL - Signature i90 Preliminary Information.pdf
  18. This design is based on dayton excellent value drivers. The RS180 is 7" alum cone midwoofers and RS28F is a silk dome tweeter, well known in the US for a good performance tweeter with excellent value. Both drivers currently sold by theloudspeakerkit, as i dont see many of 2way builds here in stereonet, i hope this one will suit.

  19. Item: ProAc Response 1SC in cherry Location: Clayton, Melbourne Price: $1350 $1250 $1200 plus postage Item Condition: 7/10 - see below for details. Reason for selling: Making space Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, Direct Deposit Extra Info: The venerable ProAc 1SC. I purchased these last year from another forum member. They are in reasonably good condition, but do have some minor marks scratches on sides and top of both speakers (only visible up close). There is no damage to any of the drivers or rubber surrounds. I'll post my detailed review soon, but in the meantime I'll say that these are a very capable standmount speaker with a sound that is enticing. The speakers do not have their original box, but will come safely packed. Auditions and pickup welcome, shipping within Australia should be $40-50.

  20. Item: Dynaudio Audience 42 (Cherry Wood) with Dynaudio Stands Location: Brisbane Metro Price: $1,000 obo for speakers and stands Item Condition: Near Perfect Reason for selling: Don't use Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Great little speakers. They’re seven or eight years old but have had practically no use. I have the original box and packaging. The stands are currently filled with lead shot and sand. I don't know how much they weigh but I can barely move them! The stands include spikes as well as rubber feet. I’d be happy to ship them (the speakers are no problem) but we would need to find a viable option for the stands Pictures: Sorry for the lousy photos
  21. Item: Kudos Cardea C1 standmount speakers Location: Clayton, Melbourne Price: $999 pickup or buyer pays postage Item Condition: Very good Reason for selling: Making some space Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, Direct Deposit Extra Info: The C1 are Kudos' entry-level standmount speaker, designed by ex-Neat employee Derek Gilligan. They employ SEAS bass drivers and the highly regarded SEAS Excel 25mm fabric dome tweeters, housed in a solid cabinet (and I mean it, it's thick and heavy). It's a simple design where looks are regarded, but I personally think that simple is elegant. In terms of sound, I'd say they're some of the most open sounding speakers I've heard - "sunshine" is the best word I can think of to sum these up. There are no traces of darkness or congestion; rather they project a wonderful sense of space and air. They have ample bass too which you'd expect from larger standmounts such as these. The (very positive) reviews linked below will give you a more in-depth impression of what these sound like. Here's some more recent thoughts: These speakers retail for over $2200AUD in Europe. They will come packed in their original box with grilles etc. Shipping to Australia will be approximately $30-50 via insured courier.

  24. Hi all. I finally joined stereo.net.au and just had an observation and partly a question if you can decipher my puzzle of thoughts. I bought a pair of Usher s-520s a week or so ago and have been listening to music and some movies and tv shows through pc. I am missing some of the midrange richness I get from my shure se535 (very mid forward) and HE-500s (same source). I figured the sound signature would be different but I am finding that I am missing some of that richness. I am getting new cables and an SVS SB12 sub for the lower end, so I am not immediately looking to change the speakers, as I am excited to see how these additions change my experience. Other than that these are fantastic for the price. I will listen longer of course and make up my mind eventually but for now what are people's opinions? Is there another reasonably priced speaker which has all of the Usher's good attributes with perhaps a tad more richness. Wondering what other people's opinions were - does the sound signature will change over time. I suppose I will get used to the sound as it is different and still nice (I'm sure it will be sweeter with the sub coming next week). Btw Deep Hz Audio is a fantastic company to deal with after calling around a few companies down South. But still looking for opinions.
  25. Item: Harbeth Super HL5 30th Anniversary Edition (Rosewood premium finish) PLUS Matching Skylan 18†Speaker stands Price: $old as a package (OR $old for the speakers and $old for the stands) Item Condition: As New. In Pristine/Perfect condition with all original packaging and documentation Location: Sydney (Inner West) Reason for selling: Moved to Active Setup with EQ to address significant room issues + plans to build dedicated music room have now been shelved Payment Method: Local Pickup - Cash, Paypal, Bank transfer. Extra Info: I purchased these new in June 2011 after hearing them at another member’s place and falling in love with the sound. The Skylans were purchased new in August 2011, assembled and then filled with about 20kg of rice (medium grain). The rice will be included, but no claims as their current edibility. The SHL5’s are magic and to my ears the absolute bees knees within Harbeth’s current range, with an effortless and majestic sense of scale that most smaller monitors cannot quite achieve, no matter how sorted. The proviso is that they need space in order to breathe (Caveat: have heard all bar the 40.1’s). They unfortunately did not work as well in my small room. They have been carefully boxed up and stored in the guest bedroom since January this year. (Original plan was to renovate and build a dedicated music room but those plans have now been canned.) I have just taken them out of the box to take these photos here and as you can see, they are in perfect condition, probably hardly run-in. The Harbeths and Skylans partner perfectly and are the recommended solution by Harbeth's Alan Shaw. I highly recommend this pairing and would much prefer to sell them together as a package. Review Link: http://app.audiogon.com/listings/full-range-harbeth-shl5-best-harbeth-for-classical-and-rock-2012-10-30-speakers-80109 Note: Pick up preferred. I can however help arrange couriers for Interstate buyers at cost. Pictures:
