SPR08Y Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) Hi all, Any thoughts on these? Found by a mate in his grandparent’s garage! Worth doing up? Worth moving on? Kind regards, Michael Edited May 12, 2021 by SPR08Y 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehuty Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Love my Goodmans Axiom 80. I also like Triaxiom a lot. Have a number of Goodmans drivers and it keeps on growing in my collection. They are quality drivers, some say they are even better than vintage Tannoys. The ones you got can fetch a lot of money on eBay. Your grandparents got good taste in audio. You don't need to do much, just clean up the wire connections and the dust and slowly powering them up to check if they're working. You could clean up the cabinets too. I like them because they look retro. One more thing, check the cabinets if you could find ARU ports. They are worth about $200 each on eBay, depending on condition. But looking at your pictures, I reckon they would be in good condition, if you find them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPR08Y Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 Thanks for info! Anyone else have anything to offer? What amp would anyone suggest? Apparently there was an amp and turntable that went with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehuty Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I was very impressed with a highly modified Leak Stereo 20 driving Goodmans Triaxiom, see pic. As you can see, we're a bunch of Leak Stereo 20 fan and at the top centre and left hand corner of the picture are the Triaxioms with Goodmans ARU vent. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPR08Y Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Update: think my mate will keep them! Yay! He just needs a nice old vintage amp to play around with them. I’m going to loan him my daughter’s Sansui Au 101, might be a good match... Cheers, Michael 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those Sansui AU-101 amps are sweet sounding to listen to as well, very underrated ...how efficient are these Goodmans?!? If high efficiency the 101's will have no prob driving them... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8or Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Fantastic find! I would borrow a tube amp from Eric McChanson, hook it up and hear the beauty of these speakers. Oh crap - you guys are located in Sydney. I’m coming over with my Uber delivery of valve amps instead. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPR08Y Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 Hi all, finally made it down to my mates place with my daughter’s Sansui AU101 and hooked it up to the Axioms. Sounded great! Seemed to have enough punch for them. He’s found this at his dad’s: what do you think? A good match with the Axioms?
