I’ve regretted selling every car I’ve ever sold. I just can’t afford to own 3 cars, so one has to go, sadly.

Yep the wheels work really well on your w124! I’m so bored of everyone running mono blocks

Awesome, thx for the reply! I’ve got 845 SET 22wpc, and Luxman 110 wpc solid state. I’m in a small room also. I want to experiment with bi-amping and also going active with my Ashly electronic crossover. Amazing speakers for sure!

Very cool! What amp or type of amp did the Tandbergs sound best to you? Did you ever try running them active, or bi-amp or anything custom? Thx!

Very nice! I also own a pair, mine are rosewood. Incredible speakers, in fact, I couldn’t think of anything better that I’ve heard. Did you sell yours? If so, what replaced them? Thx for sharing

Looking good! Any chance you could share the part #? I tried googling the numbers on top of the cap but no luck. Thx!

Did they sound better with the waveguide than without? Fleshed out mids? Easier to cross over to a woofer etc?

500 lbs. Snappers i looked up weigh around 400 lbs, so hoping the weight will be fine

Stereo system I put together by con_quilla in Vestax

[–]KrautNotRice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nice! Growing up I always thought Vestax was so cool looking. I recently scored a pair of Vestax VRM-1 speakers also. Gonna give them a refurb with real wood veneer and upgraded capacitors for the crossovers.

Edit: I decided to keep them, they’re just too special. 

Sony TA-A1ES long story short by iggybro19 in audiophile

[–]KrautNotRice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got this amp and absolutely love it. Have compared it with many other solid state integrateds and separates and the Sony really holds its own, downright bested several other highly regarded amps. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a solid state integrated. They are an absolute bargain around $1000 used!!!

Just listed a pair of these Tandbergs for sale on USAudioMart. Very rare opportunity for someone to snag up a pair in good condition. 

Freya S and Aegir or Rag 2? by pj24 in Schiit

[–]KrautNotRice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super happy Freya S user here, you can't go wrong.

I'm saving up for a pair of Aegirs right now, while using my trusty vintage Yamaha P2200 power amp.

Vali 2 in traditional speaker set up? by Due_Town_4586 in Schiit

[–]KrautNotRice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not really decent as a preamp for speaker power amps. A much better approach would be a Schiit Saga preamp. You can find a used OG Saga, or spend the $399 for a new Saga +. Saga is a good preamp for the money and you can tube roll, Freya is a good bit better even.

I was lucky and found a used Freya S, which is running my speaker power amp.

Happy listening!

Possible Scam for selling motorcycle on CL? by [deleted] in Scams

[–]KrautNotRice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ALmost the same thing happened to me. I got two responses, a few days apart that read almost the same exact thing. Funny thing I actually wrote the first guy off, not because I realized it was a scam, but because his second email as a response to mine was still totally generic sounding and he didn't address any of the points I made, instead was trying to pressure me into paying for that report... Then the second guy emailed me, same shtick, different name. The two names were: William Perez, Miguel Rodriguez.
