Hi All, Since this is my favorite and just all-around best forum I’m a member of, I’m going to ask an ‘off-topic’ question…. I’m in Burbank CA. I want to learn about electricity and amplifier construction and repair. Can someone suggest a professional or organization that would teach me these things? You can direct message me or reply here if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

coop_301I have a used pair of C6’s. Both my midranges buzz occasionally. Sometimes due to under amplification and sometimes just at certain passages rarely in certain songs. I’m certain I need new drivers. My pair cost $2,500 in 2019. Still, these buzzings are rare. These are the most natural, honest, powerful and nuanced speakers I’ve had in my system. |
jafant , brettmcee Thanks very much for the feedback! I've only recently gotten more serious about hifi so have picked up a few rigs over the past few months, and I would consider the CS6 to be better than most speakers I've heard recently. I'm hopeful that Rob can offer some good advice this week and help guide my decision, because I don't imagine there will be too many CS6s local to me. The seller's requesting 2500 which seems reasonable, but not if the repair will be another 500. I potentially have some 3.6 to audition this weekend as well, but I'm still more excited about the 6 to be honest. Regarding the amp, I'm on the east coast. I'd be curious to hear people's take on pairing modern amps compared to the 23.5. In this case, it hasn't had any work done to it but looks in good shape at least. I see amps pop up on CL that look good on paper and cost less, how do you know when you've found a solid pairing for your speakers? I like how classic the amp is and the speakers sounded great with it, but he wants 2500 for that also, and it sounds like a tuneup would be quite pricey. Thanks again for the perspectives, glad to have found the thread! |
