Salk Soundscape center channel - $2,000.00

This is essentially an
“as new” center channel - I had it for just a few months. This speaker sells
for $3,000 new factory direct (wait time 2 months), but uses equivalent
components (e.g. Acuton midrange, RAAL ribbon
tweeter), and has better build quality than brands like Avalon.

This dual monoblock power amplifier comes with original box, manual
and shielded power cord. This brute has had very little use and is completely
blemish free. Perfect as a bass amp in a bi-amped system or great as a
stand-alone amp.
Paradigm Studio 60 v.3's.
- These clear-sounding units can be had for $950.
·
In use only 40 hours -
they're not even broken in! Naturally they will be in their original boxes with
all accessories (floor spikes, jumpers and manuals). These are great speakers,
but I upgraded on very short notice.
Wharfedale W45s - I have $75 in them and would like to break even. You
get my work for free.

A 3 way system, these
vintage speakers have updated crossovers and upgraded tweeters (Peerless domes
as replacements for original paper tweeters).

This unit still performs
as well as new save for one idiosyncrasy: occasionally the drawer will go back
in instead of staying out. Just push the button again. It comes with the
remote, user's manual and power cord.

Legacy Audio Focus
speakers (Original). $1800
·
These speakers have 3 -
12" woofers, 2 on the front and one on the back. They are rated to
play down to 18 hertz. They also have 2 - 6.5" German made Kevlar
mid-range drivers and these hand off to a soft dome tweeter and a 4"
ribbon tweeter. The cabinets are custom cherry stained ribbon
mahogany. They are beautiful to see and hear! I am the original
owner and they have never been moved from the room that they are in now.
They were my reference for about 16 years. There are no noticeable marks
on the speakers and they look new. Legacy still makes the Focus, but it
has been revised with different drivers. I think a new pair will sell for
$6000 or more depending on cabinet finish. You can go to their web site
and read many reviews done on the Focus over the years. They are noted
for being dynamic, effortless and easy to drive. I do have pictures of
them if anyone is interested. We can arrange an audition at my home
also. I will let these go for $1800 for the pair. You cannot get
anything close to these for that price.
·
This was their last and
best processor. It was designed first for sound quality, so they put the
Aurum preamp inside the Stage One, and the aurum was their best preamp.
It makes a great 2 channel preamp if that is all that you do with it. It
does have decoding for the Dolby digital and DTS codecs.
It does not have the newest decoding for the hi-def. audio codecs
associated with Bluray. It does have 7.1 analog
inputs, so if you have an Oppo or other player that
does internal decoding with analog outputs, then you are set. This
processor retailed new for $4000. I will let it go for $900. I am
the original owner and have the manual and box for it. My unit is black
in color and has no noticeable marks on it.

NOTE (I’ve replaced my
entire speaker set with Axiom speakers, so I’m selling off my entire mixed
brand 5.1 setup. Obviously I’d prefer to sell
the whole package at once, but if no one wants that I’ll gladly sell
pieces. I purchased all of these products new, so they’re just one-owner
items. I have the original boxes for the Athenas,
the Mirage subwoofer and the stands. I may have boxes for the BIC and Wharfedales, but I’m not sure. All of the speaker
items add up to $495, but if one person takes everything I’ll let it go for
$425 including the stands.)

Has AM Stereo capability… no one knows why! ;-) I have
no idea what I paid for this but I think it was about $150. On the web I found
a review that showed $200-300 as original price range. That sounds a little
high. Found one on eBay for $75. Will sell mine for $50. Has excellent ability
to pick up local and distant stations. Blows away most Receiver tuners and has
remote control PLUS, it’s a MARANTZ Tuner! For those of you who may not
remember, at one time, Marantz made the best tuners
money could buy and the Marantz 10B is legendary…
period! This isn’t one of those legendary tuners, but it’s still pretty darn
good!

Each Neo features two
vertically positioned 3"x 3" Planars for
the top frequencies up to 25kHz, a 3" x 24"
planar covers the midrange utilizing a passive 250Hz and 8kHz crossover. The
Neo is primarily a front radiator in the mids and
treble, yet due to cabinet design there is sufficient amount of rear radiated
energy to enhance ambiance. The 12" downfiring, underhung woofer with 32-lb. magnet structure. The woofer
is mounted in a sealed sub-enclosure. This is an impressive loudspeaker with
performance to match.
