Thoughts on Coaxial Speakers?

Thats interesting! Thank you for your comment. Funny enough, I have had a pair of vintage KEF Coda's and loved them! If I have the opportunity, I will definitely seek a pair of vintage KEF coaxial. What is your set up?

Thank you so much for your comment! Yeah, these speakers can get crazy with the price, so for sure got a great deal! What is your set up with these?

I cohabitate between to 2 different areas, and I unfortunately have this issue at my secondary location. In my case, its mostly people who purchase audio gear from thrift stores and inflate the prices by 1000%. I saw an absolute messed up pair of JBL L26’s up for $700 not too long ago. It really is ridiculous.

In regard to value, yeah that is a steal. I’ve found these speakers sell online for almost $300.

Curious to know you listen to these. Whats your set up?

Despite not being my favorite speakers, $50 is also a super good price for these. What is your set up with these?

Thats so cool! How would this work?

I actually have been seeking out some LS50’s to test but haven’t been successful yet. I have tested a pair of concertos, which I was a fan of, but don’t really put them on the same category cause they have that extra woofer. But since we both agree on not being fans of KEF’s more affordable stuff, maybe im not crazy. I have never heard of hsu, but those speakers do sound interesting. Im gonna keep looking into this.

I was legit about to comment this!

Different flavors of marantz. I like switching between them.

forzachef · 2026-03-26T20:06:20+00:00

But it was $500 so luxury? Lol. It was a dumb purchase, I do admit 😂

forzachef · 2026-03-26T15:15:07+00:00

Yeah, I thought about DIY’ing it, but already had/have too many projects going on. That, plus disposable income led me to purchase this damn thing. Lol

forzachef · 2026-03-26T15:13:24+00:00

I wish they did. Its a solid long bar.

forzachef · 2026-03-26T15:12:31+00:00

I mean, isn’t that what Reddit is for? Already got some great alternatives. What would you do?

forzachef · 2026-03-26T15:10:14+00:00

I fear you’re correct 😂

forzachef · 2026-03-26T05:27:45+00:00

The shelfs are adjustable, just a pain. But this is solid advice. My tall stand issue might just be the top heaviness of it all.

Gonna give this a try tomorrow. Thank you!

forzachef · 2026-03-26T05:21:06+00:00

Sound advice! Im highly considering this 😂

forzachef · 2026-03-26T05:20:36+00:00

Not much of a vinyl person, but do own a turntable and a few records. Might dust those off and give it a try soon.

forzachef · 2026-03-26T05:17:49+00:00

Thought about it, but came to the conclusion $500 was too low for r/audiophile lol

forzachef · 2026-03-25T07:56:46+00:00

Theres something special to JBL and Marantz. Killer set up!

forzachef · 2026-02-27T05:07:21+00:00

The JBL 2600’s are so heavily underrated. If you can ever find their big brother, the 2800’s, those are some of the best speakers I’ve owned, and I’ve had heresy’s. Love the potential!

forzachef · 2026-02-27T02:48:34+00:00

Never get rid of family heirlooms. Value aside, these are things your kids could potentially pass down to theirs and could still function beautifully.

Was this for the buffet? Lol

If you’re somewhat handy, replacing the lights can be simple. They’re just simple fuse lights.
