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!

Is it heresy to talk about Goodwill on a high end audio forum?  

Speaking of heresy, I'd love to find a pair at Goodwill.

I'm just happy to see I'm not the only one. Still looking for gold, though.

At least twice a week. I do the rounds throughout the town. I have got a couple of good deals on SACD players and cables, but only one of the cables is currently being used. I passed on an early pair of Vandersteens because $300 is a lot to get back in credit if they didn’t work. I am not sad I passed them up.

As for music... too many to list.

mapman: I bought a pair of Heresy's at my local CT GW for $25! Over the years I found many hi-fi bargains at that store! One time I arrived just a few minutes too late and missed buying a pair of JBL 77's! A particularly good score was a pair of JBL 640's for $48!

There are no good deals at my local Goodwill stores. Just a bunch of VCRs, table clocks and speakers with attached cables that used to be part of an all in one system. Not much audio CDs or vinyl neither. Plus vinyl got a lot more expensive.
