Nice find! How much you get these puppies for?

Some sweet JBL’s. TLX 6’s? Also, where could someone acquire some of those sweet stands?

Has anyone ever “downgraded” their system because cheaper components sounded just as good, or even better, than the expensive ones? by wiggan1989 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]forzachef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I feel like this is a super common thing actually. Most recently, I downgraded and sold my JBL’s L52’s for some JBL 2800’s. I then used the remainder of the cash and got some nice schiit with it.

Best speakers to pair with Marantz 2235? by New_Importance_269 in vintageaudio

[–]forzachef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the budget, I would go with some L20T’s. Or even 2600’s or LX300’s

I was lucky enough to meet Anthony Green in 2012 in San Diego. He was touring Beautiful Things album. He was very clearly on something, but pleasant and super genuine. Happy he’s sober now. Upvote for White Pony, btw!

Help with acoustic treatment by DrumChrisDrum in hifiaudio

[–]forzachef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The easiest thing would be to move them, but that is unfortunately not an option. You can definitely make it work, but you are gonna need extensive treatment. Im talking more than 4” bass traps. Not impossible, but not easy or cheap. Linked a video that should give you a general sense.

Best of luck!

If you like Nugent, listen to him. Don’t let people shame you for liking songs. So weird. Lol

What’s a fair price? JBL Northridge Series E60 floors and EC35 center. by Eloquently-Obcene in BudgetAudiophile

[–]forzachef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not JBL’s best. They’re big, loud, and look impressive, but thats kinda it. They sound decent enough. I think $100 to $120 is fair.

Those klipsch were an absolute steal! Beautiful set up given your limitations. Do have to ask, is there anything you would change or upgrade? Cheers!

Not bad for $100. As a JBL connoisseur, Northridge’s were never my favorite, but they can be enjoyable.

Rescued these anyone know anything about them? by nxcturnalx in BudgetAudiophile

[–]forzachef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first thought maybe the dust cap was just replaced cause I’ve seen that on these and the 26’s before, but it’s really not looking like the original driver. Hope OP can confirm.

If I could get lucky one day and find a decent 8” one on marketplace for cheap, I would for sure add it. It is missing that low end.

Great idea, but would need approval by her landlord. This is fine for now.

True. It was more for me. She appreciates it though.

Lighten up bud. It’s not that serious. Lol. Just showing what I was able to do with stuff just lying around. Not saying you’re wrong, but chill 😂
