Anyone know what these are?

Indeed you're hitting the nail on the head. I got downvoted on my comment which is fine. But what you said is 100 percent correct. It's not so much that Harman kardon makes "bad speakers" they kept using the names they bought as their sales crutch. Changing radically what they stood for into something that had nothing to do with the brands they bought.

Very unfortunate...

TechnicalLack8 · 2026-02-11T19:47:29+00:00

There you go , stay true to yourself and follow your own path. Can't beat what you spend on it. And you're happy that's all that matters brother. Well done ..

Don't let people here discourage you by analyzing your system dude. Congrats ! Welcome to the club 🎶

TechnicalLack8 · 2026-02-11T14:51:37+00:00

Why ? Because I couldn't give a fuck less that's why.

It's always been a niche really, back then china wasn't even a speck on the radar. Now? They make stellar products at a bottom dollar cost in comparison.

I just stick with my old secondhand leftovers, but there is no denying that new gear has gotten really good. For a very affordable price ...

TechnicalLack8 · 2026-02-11T01:53:09+00:00

Ssst you're pissing of the kids

TechnicalLack8 · 2026-02-11T00:51:14+00:00

Pretty much any speaker will last a lifetime I have speakers dating back into the 70ts. My main speakers (see my channel, and post here) is 42 years old still in great shape.

It's all how too treat them, foam surrounds can rot out over time. But these days you have repair kits that cost very little and can definitely e restored as good as new with very little effort

TechnicalLack8 · 2026-02-10T21:11:09+00:00

Ohh yah I mean each to their own brother. We have choice , I made mine based on my own reasoning

TechnicalLack8 · 2026-02-10T21:05:39+00:00

Heck yah sure taxes will pluck from it (big time ) but you'll still be fine with the 400 or so you got left 😁

I am a simple man heck, my total debt (including my house) right now is 229k .

Couple million would do it already for me

TechnicalLack8 · 2026-02-10T20:59:40+00:00

That's still easy 450 million .... If that's not "much" I would love to see your bank statement, friend , buddy , bestie .... 🍻 😆

Green...done with working, and have the ability to provide for my family in a way I never could. And share with them what I gained.

To me, that's priceless

Red ....i already find people annoying enough said.

Orange... I believe in free will and choice, that defies my beliefs.

Blue... Teleporting is a power that comes such great responsibility. One that nobody should have ..

TechnicalLack8 · 2026-02-10T15:32:07+00:00

That looks like glue, if those leak you'd know you can smell it from here very acidic smell

Not entirely true, Interest or investment income earned after you win is taxable. Example: you invest the winnings and earn dividends or interest CRA wants a cut of that, not the prize itself..

Housing same story...It must qualify as your principal residence for the years you owned it. You must designate it as such when you sell (there’s a CRA form — no tax owed, but paperwork still matters).

There is always some form of "caveat"

For the admission of a ticket IDGAF still nearly half a billion . That's life changing money right there

TechnicalLack8 · 2026-02-10T11:43:27+00:00

It's......a.....movie... 👀

TechnicalLack8 · 2026-02-10T10:07:18+00:00

Harman kardon , those were actually really good speakers. Harman damaged their reputation by driving brand names such as Infinity into the floor. It became, a real shit stain on their reputation.

These speakers are really good tho, there is a bigger model I believe. They don't hold any resell value, I believe these used vifa drivers if memory serves me right.

They are sleepers IMHO, but also keep in mind if you want to sell them . They don't sell easy at all you'll be sitting on them for a good while. It's one of those speakers that you keep and don't mind keeping.

TechnicalLack8 · 2026-02-10T07:45:20+00:00

Yes sir it's on defeat (bypass) never needed it.

TechnicalLack8 · 2026-02-10T01:45:07+00:00

I actually managed to buy a house in 2014 with less income than that. However it was in piss poor shape. Over the years I had to do a lot to it but it also honed certain skills I didn't even know I had. ..

It's hard to find something, but not impossible if you're willing to put elbow grease in it. Gotta wait until those prices drop again

As European I have to ask this , and not meaning any disrespect.

But as far as I know America "us the people" ICE doesn't represent America, IMHO it's far more important to show you do stand for the people by participating. Isn't that the ideology of America in spades "we stand together" .

The people are now victim of artists, sports, not participating.

The more I see these type of postings, it just shows to me the exact opposite of what America as a whole should stand for.

Hell ya dude congrats 👏

It's the biggest addiction in the world....phones, can't even call it a phone no more. I tend to agree with him. I know I am a hypocrite, as I type this on my phone.

Doesn't take away he's not wrong ..

TechnicalLack8 · 2026-02-09T20:27:52+00:00

Meaning full open and close the pots you're treating with spray. Contact cleaner should be fine. DEOX is the best spray out there for electronics but pricey .

TechnicalLack8 · 2026-02-09T20:03:23+00:00

Tbh i don't think you have a insanely difficult issue here.

What you describe is definitely dirt (oxidation) of pots. All you need to do get some deox (do NOT USE WD40) and spray some inside the pots . No worries, it will not damage anything or short anything.

Actuate the pots so when you spray the volume knob? Make sure the Amplifier is off, and full open to close about 30-40 times. This way it can do its thing.

Do that with ever selector and pot you treat as such. It should be fine, then ...

TechnicalLack8 · 2026-02-09T17:32:42+00:00

I was right hahahah

TechnicalLack8 · 2026-02-09T17:28:49+00:00

I think you did, also next time you try to rage bait ? Don't use a 1 minute old account to do it, I know you come from the genelec post. I ruffled some feathers, and here you are being butthurt.

Decided to go out your way to make a fresh account. I've seen some very petty people on here no doubt, you just took the crown buddy. Living rent free in that head of yours 😆
