pete_mac Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) Hi all, Speakers A good mate of mine heard my setup recently and really liked it, so he's now after a nice pair of speakers. Something similar in size to my Usher S-520s would be great (about 300mm high x 180mm wide). He is considering a pair of Ushers, so if anyone has a used pair in a black or white finish, great!. I just figured that I'd test the water and see if anybody has some second-hand, higher-spec speakers that they'd sell for $200-400. Condition must be excellent. A black (or white) finish is desirable, as a timber veneer finish will not suit his decor. However, he will consider anything, so don't be shy. Amp He is also looking for either an integrated amp or power amp (2 channel) suitable for running the abovementioned speakers. Something with a bit of grunt/current capacity and at least 50WRMS or so would be desirable. Again, he will consider anything up to $200. Condition must be excellent. Black or siliver finish is suitable - not fussed. Location Pick-up from Sydney is required - the closer to the city the better, but he will travel if necessary. If you have anything that you think may be suitable, post here or drop me a PM! cheers! Edited July 10, 2011 by pete_mac

pete_mac Posted July 10, 2011 Author Posted July 10, 2011 Hi mate, thanks for the offers, but my friend cannot spend that much. As per the thread title, he is looking at $400 or less for the speakers, and $200 or less for the amp. I will amend the first post to make this clearer.
pete_mac Posted July 13, 2011 Author Posted July 13, 2011 Bump for speakers... we may have the amp aspect covered.
playful79 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Hi there. I have a Pioneer A-400X i'd be happy to offload if your interested.
pete_mac Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 I appreciate the offer mate! My friend will be trialling a few amps over the coming weeks, and if they don't suit him, I will be in touch!
pete_mac Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 Nobody has a pair of black or white Ushers or a pair of black Wharfedale 10.1's gathering dust in the cupboard?
A J Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 I have a pair of Paradigm Atom 5's which sound pretty good? can post photos in the weekend if interested? I also have some small floorstanders that you may be interested in as well, these sound spectacular and provide a stronger bottom end. PM me if you like
