Speakers Bought Brand New For The Cost Of A Good Night Out, That "Kick Ass".

Around 3 1/2 year ago bought a Pr. of the "Andrew Jones" Pioneer SP- FS52's at a Clearance Centre in Australia for $222 for my Kitchen System. Great value as they now retail at $699 over here. Good for a small area but don't go real loud.

Just recently purchased a Pr. of Pure Accoustics Super Nova 5's for $99! These little beauty's absolutely "kick ass" for the money. Much bigger sounding than the Pioneers, with a more thumping bass response, although not quite as refined. Very happy with these for such little money. Will use these or the Pioneers in a Patio set up, and the other in the kitchen set-up, which will eventually be System #7. I am using Electronics well above what would normally be used which helps.

Anyone else picked up a "brand new" set of bargain Speakers and been blown away?

Guitar Center often has some nice deals on traded-in studio monitors if you go to the local store (they don't seem to always show up on the online search).

Well, I'm not going to swap out my Revel Ultima Studios or Nakamichi Dragon Slayer Stat's etc. for the Pure Accoustics! LOL! But as I've suggested, for the cost of a night out, these are a great little fun Speaker, for a kitchen system or the like, where you can do a few chores and have something belting away. Helps that I'm not running some crappy Receiver or a little piss-ant Integrated with them but a fairly reasonable Tube Pre, and a high current 170W. $3.5K Power Amp. No "nutless" Amps allowed here. Put on some high octane R n R and have some fun while doing a few chores!

I bought a two pair of Pure acoustics 2-ways, not the Novas. One pair are in use by a friend and the other by my daughter and son-in-law. Thought them to be great for under $100. Better can be had for 2x the price, however not all 2x speakers.
