A premium prologue (better than the classic) was listed for $1250 and it was in good shape. ebay tell the guy “he’s dreaming” The Prologue Premium you're referring to was a screaming bargain IMO, not really a good indication of their 2nd hand market price.

surprisetech Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Denon TU-1500 AM/FM Tuner. This tuner gets recommended a lot on this forum and this one looks to be in pristine condition. Was going to buy it, but then realised it lacks a Hi-Blend switch. Not an issue for the vast majority of folk, but I'm in a fringe reception area and it's a feature I use on some of the low-powered public stations I listen to. It's located in ACT, but seller is willing to post. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/griffith/radios-receivers/tuner-denon-tu-1500/1209007761 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cafad Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) And quite a bit cheaper than the model after. http://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=383844243 Buy it now for just over $7K aud.

Not exactly a bargain but so rare it still rates a mention. Is it three times better than a Limited, NRA or MR in the SQ's, probably not Jeff but the extra built quality is amazing. You could buy all three amps mentioned above for that price [emoji848] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget the postage too, since they are also significantly heavier than the integrated amps. Still, I found myself moved to get one, and you know my stance on amplifiers! The only way to get more Sansui watts than a 907 is with one of these puppies. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit hard to gauge as these date back to 1999 and Greg has changed the driver configuration several times since. Are they the Reference model? Original price would depend on a few factors. Still, a fantastic speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice The ones on ebay look to be an early iteration of the Epitome Towers which included the extra bass driver to obtain the same effect as the bass bins, but all in the one cabinet. The focal tweeter would be a plus. Seems to be a colony of Osborns up in the Dandenongs Edited September 8, 2019 by lemarquis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So like that speaker with the bass bin incorporated into a tower. The ones you posted are just the Epitome. The extra bass bins look like this.

Hard to tell from the pics on ebay but the 2 mid - bass drivers look about the same size compared to the Osborn website. Might be a trick of the light or different surrounds on the smaller driver. As Greg has changed the drivers a few times it's hard to say. In any case superb units, but I think you did well to get those bass units! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha I’d been eyeballing those as I’ve been after the bins! There is quite a bit of variation, but the older ones with the focal tweeters are highly regarded. Mine are sunbleached beauties!
