Used speakers

Thanks to all for your comments. I've sent the amp and pre-amp for his birthday and will be sending him a tuner and speakers for Christmas. In honor of his 16th birthday I'm listening to Iggy Pop, Beausoleil and Hugh Masekela at high volume. Plus "This Guy's In Love" by Herb Albert. I can't figure out if I wish I were sixteen again or if I'd never been sixteen.

i HAVE A PAIR OF klh MODEL17's that can't be beat! - classic sounding vintage collector's item in very very near mint condition- Clean and shiny- natural wood finish - asking $100+ shipping12"Wx23.25"Hx9"D with 8" woofer & 3 1/2" tweeter [email protected] http://homestead.juno.com/lolo13/files/100.4.JPG

Polk 10's from the early 80's... I believe they can be had used in this range. I use to run them "back-n-the-day" with a DH-200, and they sounded very very nice.

Outstanding Speakers in the used range for a Rock'n'Roll bass lover could be DCM KX series which can be found for very little money on the used market (sub $200) for 12" three ways, or if you can find them' the Infinity SM 120's built in the late 80's for $250-$300 range they are very efficent and require little power. Although they may not have the finesse of the more expensive AR, either will get very loud. If you are REALLY lucky, you might be abe to score a used pair of Vanderstteen 1B's for about $300 for an older set. They may sound a little forward on the halfler amplifier but definately will work for a long term investment if your nephews music tastes evolve into different kinds of music over time. P.S. Don't blow them up because the state of the art VIFA tweeter and cast woofer are not cheap to replace. Even the 10-year old unupdated units will still blow away brand new $600 speakers sold at Best Buy, if played in a small to medium sized room with decent electronics,(which you have). Good luck in your search for your tunes!

tm12... the Klipsch Heresy's have a 12 inch woofer not 15 inch. The Cornwalls, Belle Klipsch and Corner Horns use the 15 inch.FYI only
