Adelaide Speakers Custom Passive Monitor Speakers (M602TR) Can honestly say these speakers compare very well with other brands @ x2 x3 and x4 times the cost. I know because I did a lot of A/B testing before recently upgrading to SPENDOR Classic 4/5's. These monitors are super accurate and vocals sound particularly sweet through the ribbon tweeters. There are higher level cross-over components, for superb flat, ultra fast response and the ability to produce every micro detail. They're fairly efficient (90dB) given the size and I was pairing them with low powered SET's without any issues - they sounded great. There are some very minor dents and marks on the veneer from moving in an out of small bookshelf space - see pic below for more detail. Technical Specifications Blackwood veneer cabinets Custom version with front bass reflex & contoured response to suit valve amp 300h x 200w x 210d 8 ohms 120wrms (180wmax) 90dB (1W/1M) 58Hz - 40,000Hz +/- 3dB https://www.adelaidespeakers.com/monitors.html *Includes 8 x Atacama Speaker Stand Isolation Gel Pads (black) - stuck under speakers

I bought these Legend speakers from a Stereonet member a few years ago. I was still new to all of this and didn't appreciate the difference between the watts written on the stereo box and current. Needless to say, these little speakers need a fair whack of current. My Yamaha RN-602 had no chance. I recently purchased some more efficient Klipsch speakers which are singing. Interestingly, I took the Legends to Lifestyle Audio in North Parramatta to do a listening test with the Klipsch speakers. Obviously, a proper amp was used. For the first time I understand why these Legend speakers were so special. It wasn't until "rockier" music was played that the 20 year newer Klipsch taught the Legends a lesson. To be honest, I was already sold on the "bronze" speaker cones of the Klipsch. I wanted them. and hence the Legends are for sale. I believe (but do not 100% know) they are Kurre's of approx 1998 vintage as it's very tricky to research. I found these 2 review sites. http://www.legendspeakers.com.au/Backup-old-site/kurre_r2.php http://www.legendspeakers.com.au/reviews/ I bought them from a stereonet member some years ago. I think its excellent buying if you have a decent amp. No point testing at my place as my amp can not drive them properly. If you buy them and they are not what you want, just bring them back within 3 days (in same condition) and I'll refund your money. It's stupid to keep them in storage thinking I will use them one day. I need to start letting go of items. Maybe I'll move onto some of my records soon (way to many double-ups. I can't help myself). They are in good 2nd hand condition with normal minor scratches but nothing serious (BTW the George Benson vinyl is not included. Just there to reference size). Pick up is North Rocks (between Carlingford and North Parramatta). I am often in Manly (NSW) if this helps. BTW - before any smarties suggest the speakers are upside down - they are designed to have the tweeter at the bottom! Kind regards, Kierin

Hi everyone I’m listing my pmc twenty5.23’s for sale as I’m upgrading. I won’t be able to post them until next week but thought I’d throw them up now. I’m happy to take a small deposit and the full amount just prior to me sending them. Hopefully this gives people a little time to get cash together or sell other things to finance them. These speakers changed the game for me. They aren’t big but sound massive. I’ve honestly struggled to find any speakers under 10k (even some over 10k) that even come close. The sound staging is wide and pin point accurate, the sound is extremely balanced and rich and the lower frequencies are more than covered. They are also not fussy with amps or positioning so you can put them anywhere and get a great sound. These are widely regarded as the sweet spot in the pmc range. They also have a 20 year warranty from pmc. The speakers present in mint condition and have been well looked after. I have all the original packaging and happy to ship. I also have a matching PMC centre speaker if you’re keen on the bundle. Add $1500 if you want it. Otherwise I’m happy to keep it. Notes: - free shipping is only to metro locations. Country or international buyers will need to pay difference between the cost of shipping to metro & their location - clause added as I got caught out with someone from Jakarta a few months ago. - take 10% off for local pickup in Canberra. - buyer pays PayPal fees (+3%) or I’m happy to accept cash, bank transfer or trusted PayPal payment. Thanks.

Further information: For sale is a pair of Edifier R1280DB speakers, in black. You can connect via RCA, optical, coaxial or Bluetooth. The power cable is hardwired in, but the speaker's come with speaker cable to connect the left and right speakers, and a remote control. I no longer have the box it came in. The speaker's work fine (remote control is trash mind you), but I bought them earlier this year to see if I wanted to dip my toe into the world of speakers, which I do and have since upgraded.

You have to show how revealing your system is to others with a wide soundstage, 3D imaging & perfected tonal balance. What songs or albums do you play on your system to give it the wow factor?

A thread dedicated to speakers having a rated efficiency of 96db\watt\meter or more. Over the years I have built a number of speakers, mostly single driver, which have been high efficiency. We are all aware that low power valve and SS amps can struggle to produce good volume levels with speakers of efficiency lower then 90db. But team-up you flea power valve amp with a speaker featuring the Fostex FE206En and magic happens. Even SS amps in the 25W range can not always produce the dynamics which more powerful amps will produce into speakers with a more normal 87db rating. I have built four pairs of speakers three using the Fostex FE206En, the driver having a rating of 96db. From simple ported types to the super complex back loaded horn. See images. These have worked extremely well with 2 to 5W SE valve amps but some complain there is no weight behind the music. I think the counter argument to this is that these ultra light weight coned speakers produce better micro-dynamics, general dynamics and detail than there less efficient partners. Weight in notes can be enhanced with the use of active sub-woofers or assisted bass speakers and yet still retain the detail and dynamics of these special drivers. Over the last three or four months I have been using only my DIY 98db efficient 12" Beyma concentric speakers (retro-thermionic - VoXConcentriC). My 5.8W DIY SE 300B plays to ear-bleeding levels when hook-up to the Beymas. They are Tannoy style and with a 2" Titanium tweeter produce reasonable bass to 50hz and bright treble response to 20K+. To pickup a little more weight in the lower register I team them up with 12" active stereo sub-woofers. This way I get bas down to 31hz, crisp micro-dynamics, detail and what appears to be unlimited head room. I have really fallen in love with these speakers. Even my 3W DIY 6V6 SE amp plays to excessive levels with these speakers. Voice, brass, and acoustic instruments sound excellent and alive through these inexpensive speakers. I like these Beymas so much I have ordered the 15" version. Please post your experience, good or bad, with either commercially built or DIY high efficiency speakers. Any projects you may have in the future and would like to discuss here. Images are always good to. Even experiences at shows, demos etc.

Further information: Selling for a local retired friend who doesn't have computer access.

They are in perfect condition and still have the original box, manuals, foam plugs, purchase, receipt etc. Great sounding speakers, check out the review! https://www.whathifi.com/au/dynaudio/emit-m20/review PLEASE Note !

Further information: Now surplus to my needs is this pair of "Made in the USA" Infinity Reference 20 bookshelf speakers. I'm open to offers on these speakers from the late 1990s but which are in great condition. They are finished in black ash and I have owned them from new. They have been very well looked after. Cabinets were polished regularly and look as new. They've been used with several amps over the years, ranging from 20 to 75 watts/ch, and performed well with them all. I sat them on Concorde SP24 stands (which I also have up for sale). The woofers were re-foamed by SpeakerWorks in Sydney in 2013/14 (see post-repair frequency response graphs in pics). I bought these speakers because they were used as the monitors in the small (mainly speech work) sound recording studio I once worked in. Maybe it was because I got so used to them but I found - and still find - they give fatigue-free listening for long periods, especially for speech and vocals. I have to downsize and regrettably they must now go. They come in the original box and packaging. Note: They have been in storage for about a year, and on taking them out to photograph them I noted that in 3 spots the foam has started to lift on the woofers (see pics). They still sound great, but obviously those spots need to be re-glued. Specs: Frequency Response50Hz - 25kHz (+/-2.5dB) Crossover Frequency 3kHz Sensitivity 90dB (2.8V/1 meter) Nominal Impedance 6 ohms Power Handling, RMS 15 -100 watts Woofer 20.3cm IMG Tweeter 2.5 cm polycell Dimensions: 465 mm h x 268 mm w x 252 mm d. Box is 61 x 36 x 55 cm and weighs 18.6 kg. It can be sent by Auspost. As as example, postage to Melbourne 3000 would be $54.90. Delivery might be possible if your are in inner Sydney suburbs or close to the M4, please ask. Will be listed on eBay after a few days. Photos:

Further information: Picked up two sets of these a while back. Hooked a set up in my gaming room and these have been in the box untouched. I think I've opened the box to verify contents but they've never been wired up. Would prefer pick up but can work out shipping. Thanks!

Further information: Very good condition, recently upgraded crossover, poly caps. Comes with front grilles. Sound amazing, happy to demonstrate on pickup. Reason for sale, upgrading. Cash on pickup from Coburg North.
