Yeah there is something going on, they do say single on some and pair on others, but the one that seems to be a real con to me is the "KLIPSCH Forte IV Floorstanding Speaker" as is say neither pair or single, just "speaker" not even "speakers"

 

Cheers George

It’s been wide spread in the US for years/  even hifi stores price speakers with individual rather than the pair price-but they probably won’t sell a single speaker

Yeah but in this Australian auction they are saying single or pair on some, but with ones that matter like the Klipsch Forte and the Cornwall, they don't say either, just speaker.

Have a look https://www.grays.com/sale/5058894/audio-tv-home-theatre/lifestyle-store-liquidation-high-end-audio-equipment-sale

"KLEPSCH" 🙂

Sounds like one of those white van brands

Seems it was a typo, they have corrected the spelling now.

Obviously it was a typo. Funny though, I think I’ll keep using it. 
 

Reminds me of the Yiddish word  “Kvetch”

 

kvetch /kvĕch/

intransitive verb

To complain persistently and whiningly. 

noun

A chronic, whining complainer. 

A nagging complaint.

< Klipschorn vintage speakers suit a collector or audiophile

A$10,000

One of the 15 inch woofers has a torn cone and replaced with the equivalent Crites speaker (arguably better than the original). We have the original 15 inch damaged woofer as well. >

How do I post a link to a significant system listed on FB Marketplace in Brisbane?  No, it's not mine or anyone I know but is valued at 160K and I guarantee stereonet members would be interested.....

 Someone is taking a hit on that sale……we know the value,  but I wonder what the actual purchase price was…..

 

curious though, for someone to have such a high valued system, the environment doesn’t look too flash (looking at the room, the flooring and the reflection in the tv screen) and they are tuned into triple j!!  
 

To me, that system seems out of place……who am I to judge though - I guess it is just a common triple j listener that needs to offload their system to get some cash.

I don’t come on here often these days, I’m just pretty happy enjoying my humble little ML system

 

Not my listing, so hope I’m not breaking any rules here, but I was looking for replacement value on my amp, and stumbled across this Anthem Integrated 225 on eBay AU. 

 

I know how fantastic these amps are, as I struggled to find anything that would power my Martin Logan Motion 60XT’s properly, before this amp. I tried a few, but none really did them justice. I then had someone recommended this amp on here. Winner. I then had another member on here buy one based on my thoughts driving the 60XT’s and their low impedance dips with the ribbon tweeter. That member actually contacted me after purchase to say how happy they were, so there’s a least a few who know of these special things.

 

Powerful, controlled, and will drive almost anything.
 

The new STR model that replaces this is selling for more than $8k new today, so you can get a fair idea of what you’re getting for $1k. 
 

Just thought it may help someone out, who’s looking for something to drive hard to power speakers. A lot of amp for a grand. I may even buy it as a spare yet, they don’t come up often.

Strange thing happened to me the other day.

After trying to place an ad here, that without any comment what so ever did never see the light of day, I put the item on Gumtree.

The ad got approved. Two hours later I got an email from gumtree saying that the ad got deleted. "Someone" put a report in on my ad

and as a result my account got canceled. Hmmmm, this just made me wonder......... 

Mistery happened to me as well, 2-3 days ago I tried to place on stereonet some records (vinyl) for free, nothing published, no communication from anyone. Funny ah?

Ah! Too slow… someone had great buying with these Altec 604’s for $800 

 

There were also Lowthers PM7 for $500 but they seem to be snapped up too.

I'm pretty sure they are Trevor Lees ribbon speakers with subs.

Very cheap if they work and the ribbons are in good condition.

Actually, I think they were designed and developed by Lewis Muratori and Trevor Lees built them to his design.

They can sound very good in a big room.

Pathos TT tube hybrid integrated amp available for sale on Facebook in Hornsby NSW.

 

I had the pleasure of beta testing the Classic One, Logos and TT in the mid 2000's for Gianni Borinato from Pathos. I still consider the TT the best of the bunch. These units really hold their resale value at the $5K mark.
