Classic speakers to hunt down used

Get the a/d/s 710 or 810s they are better and feature butyl rubber surrounds that never rot!

Spica T-50

i HAVE BEEN BUYING UP SOME vINTAGE lARGE aDVENTS AND REWORKING THEM. I stick with the Wood cabinet models. I can't believe that they are getting for these on ebay though. I was watching a pair that needed new surrounds go for over $250. Wow
Thay sound great though

Scott,

What do you do to them?
Rebuild the X-over with new capacitors?

Sincere thanks to all those posted - I will hunt them down, and give them to my music students. Sometimes it's hard to convince the parents about spending some for quality hifi gear - many think sony at bestbuy is hifi.

My students really need to hear good music to improve, and buying classic stuff used is the only thing I can think of.

Thank you again !

Ral1,

No this is not for my gym system - but for my students. I have to put together a pretty acceptable system for under a few hundred dollars - so I am turning to old gears.

I like the sound of them anyway.

I have been mating them with sharp 1-bit digital amps - sounds good for the little money.

If someone knows of other ways to get pretty good sound for under $1000, please let me know.

Thanks for the link Ral1 - very interesting sight about classic speakers ! I feel like i have found a gem.
