Your story resonates with me a lot! I buy and sell audio gear (also in canada) but moreso as a hobby. Just 2 months ago I ended up getting a barn find pair of Altec Lansing model 19s for $100. Cabinets need to be refinished but drivers work flawlessly. Super excited to fix them up. Replacing a pair of Forte IIs I also got super cheap :))

@@Network-o7c amazing! The Alec 19's are absolutely stunning speakers ! Congratulations 🎉 if you need spare parts for anything feel free to reach out I can get most stuff through my friend. Thanks for the comment

Nice

[@belfort777]

dude, those needs some serious power amp

[@daytonszalay1993]

Definitely, the Akai is 220 wpc and I have many other power amplifiers I can buy amp with !

You are a VERY lucky man.!!!

[@daytonszalay1993]

It was an amazing opportunity, I'm very grateful to have been able to experience these legendary speakers.

I swore-off Asian HiFi components, they all share the same parts, & all sound the same. Clean sound but no real clarity. Try those 801’s with a vintage Threshold amp & preamp. You’ll hear the major improvements & never go back. You’ll likely sell-off all that gear, & get into selling real audiophile components.

[@daytonszalay1993]

I hope to score some Mac gear one day just waiting for that crazy deal to come up or classe, krell, sonic frontier and so on but I'll keep the Threshold in mind. Thanks for the advice. Hope you enjoyed the video.

The stock Xover's were garbage and cheap along with the binding posts and EQ box. It'll take some bucks to get them to world-class.

[@daytonszalay1993]

I enjoy them as is but if I ever wanted to upgrade them I have the budget room since I got them for free
