It will take me a few months to get enough free funds to sustainably get a set but in the meanwhile, i will try demoing more speakers! I have picked my amp out though! I would be buying speakers first, and then finding an amp to match. Not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suopermanni Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Well, I have decided to go with an amp I'm familiar with but no longer have as I gave it to my parents as a gift for the new TV (as well as tower speakers) It's similar to the NASKA amp but does not require construction on my part.

Gremrock Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 If you are still looking for speakers I have a set of the aforementioned ML1's here you are welcome to bring your amp out for a play if you are up for a drive at some point (I'm about 3 hours from brissy). I may be looking to sell them soonish, otherwise I think Mike will have a second hand set for sale soon too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suopermanni Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 While I'd love to do that, I currently lack access to a car. Also, I'm still in the process of saving up for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldSchool1 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Op do try Dynaudio 200XD:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAMO 1147 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 You'd have to demo the LS50 wireless when you get the dosh together. Amp matching all done! Toma at tweed area kef dealer not sure who in Brisbane will have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakey72 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) @Suopermanni You're going to laugh at this but if you can get hold of a pair of Usher S-520's http://www.usheraudio.com.tw/product/s-520-bookshelf/ and something like this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sansui-AU-3900-Amplifier-/122405546091?hash=item1c7ff0686b:g:7xYAAOSwuLZYzzNO for around $600 you will be absolutely gobsmacked. I'm running an AU-4900 with my Ushers and it's divine. You don't need to spend $5k to get good sound. Want to know how good this combo is? I have a pair of PMC TB2S+'s, a Plinius 9200 and a Plinius CD101. I hardly ever listen to it anymore. I walk in the room and put the Sansui/Ushers on. Sad but true.

blakey72 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 And I'll take the Pepsi Challange on that combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suopermanni Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 That's a rather interesting take, blakey72! Currently, I'm out of the market atm. Concentrating on finding more suitable and permanent employment as well as other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakey72 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Well if you get $600 together give it a try! I bet you'll be amazed at the performance to cost ratio. You'll lose nothing out of it either. Sansui's will always give your money back and Ushers are hard to find so you'll have no problem offloading them. I bet you'll keep it though. Even as a second system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPSHELF Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Guy's whilst the advice is great and of benefit to others in this position suopermanni pulled the funds quite a while back. Mate hope the situation changes for you soon. Without a regular income I'd be about 16 weeks away from hitting the wall. And first off the rank to be sold would be the hifi..... It's a luxury indeed.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suopermanni Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 I've got employment but it's just a temporary position. I'd like a more permanent one but they don't seem to be coming easily. I'm also trying to reskill/upskill to get a better outcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something will come along if you're keen enough. Upskilling is a wise way to go. I'm 44 and still at uni haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
