Just a quick Google search shows these speakers are from early to mid 1970's. I wasn't even born. These are probably going to sound pretty fantastic with vinyl... but I'm not so sure about modern games and music. Make sure you do an audition and listen to them first. And frankly, with ~40 year old speakers.... they've probably seen better days.

 

It might be a little tough finding anyone who has experience with these speakers. At $240, you can get close to massive speakers that would blow these Bose away. Look into the RF-62 ii from Klipsch. They review very well, and I own two. I paid $300 a pop new, but I've seen quite a number on Craigslist for $300 a pair. I felt pretty stupid after buying them new. Oh well you live and learn, right?

OK.

I'll have to see what my budget is and what I'm spending on stuff. I have about 400-500$ now but I want other stuff too, need to figure out what I want to spend where

Picking speakers is definitely a tough choice. Even now after I bought all of my speakers, I look at some internet direct websites and I shake my head at myself. But that's hardly to say that I don't enjoy what I've purchased. I've actually been meaning to take pictures and post them to my gallery.... along with my PC. I actually ordered a sub about three weeks ago. It's finally shipping this Friday. I cannot fricking wait!

 

Too bad we live on opposite sides of the country. I have a few pairs of speakers that I wouldn't mind getting rid of.

901 those where awesome speakers at the time and are probably still good if the speakers didn't dry up with time

Yeah but there seems to be a decent selection of speakers near me.

Because right now my speakers are tiny.

Not sure why we changed from big to tiny speakers.

We also used to have a nice extra pair in a different room wired to the extra front channel on our old receiver, but replaced that with not very good wireless (staticy) small speakers the same time we replaced the other big with small.

But I don't really remember that, I was like 6

Wives eventually want their space back, and husbands can't rock out when there's a house full of kids.

 

I have a sad feeling I'm going to be parting with my speakers when I have children. My subwoofer that hasn't even arrived yet is doomed  -_-

Maybe for exhibition, lol....   That was a good one. Yea, go look at those high quality drivers in those pieces of wood. I'd only take those for free to light on fire.

looks nice for a good price, but i would have to use them as rear speakers, as there is a desk in front of me.
