Shopping at Goodwill anyone?


I check out Goodwill a couple times a month for CD's . the audio equipment is not much to speak of ...until today. I saw this pair of Yamaha NX-E150 bookshelf speakers. All wood thick cabinet, 4.5" coned woofer and 1" tweeter.  I picked them up and they felt pretty substantial by weight.  hum...$6.99 each what do I have to lose.  Got home and set them up , put on my favorite B S and Tears SACD and WOW!  I was blown away...great imaging and soundstage.  They sound 4x as big as they are!   Happy Hunting today!

My Goodwill had a nice pair of JM Lab tower speakers in good condition for $100 recently.  I was tempted but have more speakers than I probably really need already.   You never know what might pop up....

I have found at my local Goodwill, a pair of KLH Seventeens for $1 ea., a Thorens TD-165 for $3.50, a pair of Pioneer HPM-40 for $.50 ea.(needed new surrounds), and a Sansui AU-517 for a decent price that I can't recall right now.

I check it out a couple times a week.
Yea i will be stopping by more often.  I have 4 or five within a 5 mile radius
I go to several Goodwill stores here in AZ once a week, but no luck with quality audio gear. Most of my scores are mid century ceramics from California, great signed handmade pottery, and other decorative stuff from Italy and other European countries. Incredible prices. 
Love Goodwill!  Shop there often for CDs and the occasional surprise.  Best finds: NAD 3020, DCM TimeFrame TF600s, Acoustic Energy 24" cast iron speaker stands, Sony component Minidisc recorder, and a Sherwood vintage receiver.  Lately though they seem to be getting wise and are putting their best stuff on eBay for higher prices.  Too bad for us.
