Curb score 2 houses over
« on: September 23, 2015, 05:42:02 PM »
Hey All,
Anyone that knows me knows It's hard for me to pass anything up. So I'm turned into the subdivision and 2 house over from me I see a pile of trash. I had to investigate.
Well driving up I see 5 speaker cabinets. I see 1 JBL L100 and a pioneer, so I start grabbing them, a lady comes out said I have a receive in the basement. Sansui qrx-6500 she said $50 so I bought it. Don't know much about the receiver but figure I could get me 50 back. So back to the speakers. I loaded up and mentioned I loaded 5 speakers weird someone would only have 5 not 6. She said lets go look, so from behind the recliner sat the other speaker. These where free and on the curb already. 2 pair of JBL L100A's and a pair CS-A700 Pioneer speakers in nice shape other than the overwatering of the plant at one point in there lives.

Score!  ...amazing how people throw out these beautiful big old speakers so they can pay hundreds to listen to an Ipad :-\

It has gotten so bad that kids can't even throw a good rockin' house party anymore....

They will be rocking this weekend. There is a big desire for them, already be offered money for them. I'm pushing some 601's serIII a definitive technology 8 " sub with a 9900s pioneer receiver now. If that won't push them I'm thinking of hooking them up to my Aragon 4004MkII. That amp will make any speaker come alive. I'm sure the sx850 or the sx-1050 would have no problem either. I also have a NAD 2200 amp and 1155 preamp.

Nice, free L100s are always nice. The Sansui sounds like a quad unit that is old enough to at least warrant a recap on the power supply if you want to use it personally. If not you could always find a vintage Sansui collector that would take it off your hands for a few quid.

If you happen to find a set of L300s in that pile, let me know.  ;)

I had to look them up not a JBL user. Those 300's are nice.
