JD1 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Okay Thanks Pete. Seems may be above board and with the advertised warrantees guaranteed then. They have PayPal so hopefully is safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, Electronic Forefront are grey importers - if the MF stuff is grey import you may be relying on them, rather than the local distributor for warranty and parts. Not saying you shouldn't buy from them, just letting you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD1 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Oh okay will take under consideration then. The grey import puts a dark side into the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grey import puts a dark side into the deal. i wouldnt touch it quite frankly. these are heavy bulky gear. and wouldnt want to be stuck with no local support or warranty.... buying from ebay grey importers is risky as basically as a retailers they can go awol and you are then stuck holding the gear.... the authorised local importer havent setup their business to be supporting things not brought in by them and have no obligation to have any care factor with regards the gear. better off contact local authorised retailers who will likely do yo ua deal. in anycase mf gear is priced quite attractively usually vs overseas. certainly over the years we have seen better prices than uk or us ! so no real need to buy grey import in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD1 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Thanks so much guys. This is the help I was after. Glad I posted here for some good advice. My last MF amp lasted me 25 years so I know they make good gear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexie Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Two Alesis M1 speakers and four Peak Audio PSM-250a active monitors at Wesburn tip shop https://yrrs.com.au No idea whether they work, but for someone who is capable of testing and fixing, might be a bit of fun.

kelossus Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Just now, romekaff said: Maybe if they were 5k it would be a worth while project. My exact thoughts. I am sure someone will see value in them at their listed price though. If all the drivers work and your willing to spend some $$$ on the cabinets it's not bad buying, particularly if you REALLY want a pair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jakeyb77 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Those 4435 are from Sing Sing records and were used to master a lot of your favourite Aussie records I bet. They were situated in their old studio then moved to the new one in Church Street 2 of my 2234 are from that very set of speakers Edited July 5, 2020 by jakeyb77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
