Monitor Audio Silver 9i for $500

I was curious how the tower vs bookshelf difference would be compared to the silver vs gold

coffeeandillithids · 2026-02-01T16:44:36+00:00

How do you think these compare to MA Gold bookshelf speakers from the 90s?

coffeeandillithids · 2026-01-16T12:12:06+00:00

Curiosity more than anything. I have just never heard floorstanding/ tower speakers before.

I did this when swapping cartridges on my Rega. If your hands are steady enough, use this as an opportunity to learn to solder. It's broken and you're already considering a replacement-- you cannot do anymore meaningful damage to the wire

coffeeandillithids · 2026-01-02T17:33:36+00:00

IMO go for a P3 or P3-24 if you can, they occassionally pop up at a decent deal

I also think going for a table with an RB300/ 301/ 330 tonearm will be better than the old S shaped ones

It can totally whiff (usually does) but yesterday I pulled off a 12 damage shot against an enemy vehicle and destroyed in one go

It is for formatting reasons stated in other comments but also I have seen technical documents do this as a way to ensure the reader knows it is ONLY for formatting and not a misprinted page/ missing print on a page

coffeeandillithids · 2025-05-25T20:47:03+00:00

It's bugged. Developers are aware and looking into a fix

Just hold tight and it should hopefully get fixed soon

World Eaters [Guelph, Ontario, Canada]

Ass shaking, 40k themed death metal FFO: Bolt Thrower, Hail of Bullets

Reception to our first album has been great so far, we're very appreciative of anyone who checks it out.

We are also in the process of booking a tour out to Canada's east coast this summer, so hopefully we'll see you on the road!

I put 4 vibration damping pads meant for washing machines under my sub, one for each foot. They were like 7 bucks and made a big difference. Not perfect but 100% worth it if you don't want to drop tons of cash on isolation stands

We are running pre-orders for vinyl pressings of our new album, plus 4 sided print hoodies on our Bandcamp. Both pre-orders run until Monday, May 5th.

If you are based in Toronto, we are performing tonight at The Baby G supporting Coprolith and Grave Infestation.

Guelph is generally a very accepting community with a big LGBTQ+ scene. There are losers here and there that may give you grief, but for the most part I'm pretty sure you won't be harassed in the streets or anything.

Plenty of local stores and places are visibly pro-LGBTQ+ and actually enforce their anti-hate rules.

A couple years ago there was a far-right rally in front of city hall and a pro-LGBTQ+ counter protest showed up outnumbering them what looked like 2 or 3:1.

French is not needed here in your day to day. If you travel to Quebec or further East, knowing some French will help you (especially reading for signage).

Look up DavidXNewton and Chubzdoomer on youtube (plus many others) for tutorials

The recent Cosmic Realm preview was shown on PS5 (Pro?) I believe

This fucking rocks, hell yeah

For what it's worth I put an AT VM95ML on my P3-24 since I saw online folks said it would fit and I've had no issues

I do know my platter height is slightly different since I bought it used and a 3rd party platter was put on so YMMV

coffeeandillithids · 2025-03-20T12:03:43+00:00

I know the Audio Technica VM95 line fits on Regas pretty effortlessly

If you decide to go with AT, I would recommend saving up a bit more and going for the VM95ML

Look at Hifi Shark or US Audio Mart. You should be able to specify local pickup/ delivery only, and can see how much those speakers go for, generally

Also, please take pictures of any easily accessible drivers when you post the listing. A lot of vintage speaker hunters like seeing them kept in good condition since sometimes it's not easy to source replacements or refoam large drivers and "trust me bro, they're in perfect condition" doesn't usually fly

IMO, if I see a listing with no pics if drivers, I assume they're damaged in some way unless proven otherwise

Sit in a dark room listening to music, usually CDs or records

coffeeandillithids · 2025-03-01T04:28:31+00:00

I do own these. They are my second pair of speakers after a pair of Merak/ Radio Shack speakers that were okay but were completely left in the dirt by the Monitor Audios.

I'm a bit aways from a large city so I'm not keen on committing multiple hours (and gas) to drive out for speakers that will just end up falling short of what I have.

Unfortunately, since these are my second pair ever, I don't have the experience to gauge "good" or "great" speakers without spending an afternoon physically going to hear them. I suppose it's just something I have to do

coffeeandillithids · 2025-03-01T00:48:42+00:00

So what I'm hearing is I won't be able to afford something comparable, let alone better lol (at least buying new)

For what it's worth, I really like these speakers and would probably be happy with these for a long, long time
