warrantyDCM "TIME WINDOW" #...6872 / 6873 STEREO SPEAKERS CIRCA 1980-84 MADE IN THE USA for sale One of most famous of the late '70's thru the '80's "audiophile" level stereo speakers. The DCM "Time Window". I worked at a DCM dealer for a few years while these were current. We generally sold the lesser "Time Frame 350" models, simply due to the lower price of the "Frames". Most folks only dreamt of the "Windows". I have heard Time Windows on many different amps including Crown DC-300a's, McIntosh MC-30's and 75's, Missions, GAS "Son of Amp-zilla's", just about all the Carvers, Hafler DH-500's, NAD's and many others. Never disappointing. I am currently running my personal pair on a Hafler 225. Time Window's are very forgiving on placement, but really like to be along an un-cluttered wall. While I am not much of a fan of speaking to "critical listening" when it comes to home theater applications, these also work well as "front channel" speakers, but coupling them with most "Class-D", "gutless", modern home theater receivers / amps would be a sacrilege (sorry just had to get that out). Great speaker for detail & balance. These have been completely tested and put through exhaustive paces on our test system. All drivers in great shape and cabinets are structurally sound. Even the unique, open-cell foam grills are still in great shape with not snags, tears or deterioration. The only cosmetic issue is that one of the wood veneer tops has some bubbling under the clear-coat. We lemon oiled them both, but you can see the darker striations in the top (see lower, right photo above). Features include: - 2-way, Ported, Transmission Line design - Elliptically shaped cabinet to reduce bass nodes / anomalies -Dual, 6.5" Low Frequency Drivers (woofer) arranged asymmetrically with non-deteriorating Butyl Rubber suspension (no foam to worry about years down the road) -Dual, 1" Philips Tweeters - Real Wood veneer tops Specs: Frequency Response: 25-18kHz Efficiency: 89dB 1w @ 1m Nominal Impedance: 5 Ohms minimum 6-8 Ohms nominal Dispersion: 180 horizontal x 60 vertical Recommended Power amplifier rating: 10 watts with a max peak of 200 watts "Specifications do not tell the whole story, listening does. The Time Windows due to their configuration can be literally tuned to any room. That is due to their shape. This was a brilliantly executed design that has remained faithful all these years." * Again, with the exception of the above mentioned finish issue on one tope (see lower right photos above) these speakers are in great, original shape. Great speaker for up to mid-high volume levels. Again, these are more "detail" oriented speakers not "Power Pounding Party" speakers. If that's what you're looking for then don't buy these. These are "high definition" speakers. If you're looking for "true" wide frequency response, balance and detail then these may be the speaker for you (great for most all types of recordings; R&R, POP, RAP, Jazz and new-country, acoustic guitar recordings & classical / symphonic / string music. Very accurate, detailed sound!!! This is also a consecutively serial numbered pair. Cabinets measure 36" H x 14.75" W x 11.75" D and weighs a hefty 32 lbs each. Includes our standard 90 day limited warranty (excluding problems due to under / over powering).

warrantyPRE-APPRECIATED YAMAHA NS-3500A NS-A3500A "CONCERT SERIES" STEREO SPEAKERS Circa 1999 Made in Canada for sale We aren't typically very interested in A/V speakers, but these were some of Yamaha's "flag ships". The Yamaha NS-A3500A's. This speaker is large enough, that even though it is a modern, A/V cabinet, it sounds great on an "old school", 2-channel amp! Great speaker for detail, balance and that big "wall-o-sound" presence. Handles power VERY WELL! One of the most "fun to listen to" speakers I have auditioned in a long time. Currently on the "Number 1" position of our "Big System" switcher as I love listening to them. Features include: - 3-way, 4-Driver, Bass-Reflex design - Dual 8", Polypropylene, magnetically shielded Low Frequency Drivers (woofer) -4" Polypropylene, magnetically shielded Mid- Range with coated cloth surrounds -1" Soft Dome, Mylar Tweeter Specs: Frequency Response: 50-20,000Hz +- 2dB Efficiency: ~88-89 dB 1w @ 1m Nominal Impedance: 8Ω each Recommended Minimum Power amplifier rating: 10 watts Max power rating: 160 watts While these speakers are physically large, it is not without reason. The large cabinet allows maximum bass reproduction. Secondly the tall stature of the Yamaha NS-3500A puts the tweeter more on plane with your ears, instead of your knees. The "Piano-Black" gloss finish in great shape with a few tops scuffs and some minor edge peeling. The original black knit grills also in good shape with a couple small .5 inch snags (see far right photos above). Grill frames perfect with not broken or repaired parts. There are a few, obligatory dust-cap dents in the drivers (See right photos above. Cosmetics only and do not affect the sound). Both woofer surrounds in great shape for years of trouble-free service. Great speaker for up to fairly high volume levels. These are "detail" oriented speakers that can also get loud and fill a room. Great for about any type of music. We tested them extensively and have temporarily added them to our audition line-up because we were so impressed. These are "definitive" classic Boston speakers. If you're looking for "true" wide frequency response, balance and detail and a speaker that can handle power well too, then these may be the speaker for you. They ROCK!!! Cabinets measure 43" H x 10.5" W x 14.25" D and weigh a hefty 55 lbs each. Includes our standard 90 day limited warranty (excluding problems due to under / over powering). YAMAHA NS-A3500A NSA3500A NS3500A NS-3500A Cond. 8.5 $599. pair (Due to the nature of these speakers, S,H & I will be a considerable expense.

warrantyREALISTIC MACH ONE CAT. 40-4024 STEREO SPEAKERS CIRCA 1975-81 for sale One of the most famous speakers ever sold. The Realistic "Mach One". This was Radio Shack's "flagship" and is still in incredible performer. In 13 years of dealing audio, Mach One's have been elusive. We just purchased 4 pair from one audio fan who bought them all when new. I have been a dealer for just about everyone over the past 25 years. I have sold and / or auditioned speakers priced from $80 a pair to $120,000 a pair Genelecs. I can usually "sum up" my opinion of a pair of speakers, good, bad or indifferent, in about 5-8 minutes of listening. Now I am not comparing these to speakers priced anywhere close to $100,000 plus, but I did spend about 3 hours listening to the Mach One's in our test system and was completely impressed. Great "Wall of Sound" at all volume / power levels and can certainly get loud with no handling problems. We have completely gone through these, not only addressing new woofer foam (and yes, Mach One suspensions did "age well" and would appear not to need to be replaced, but they have become stiff and require specific "Mach One / Two" series foam), but also discovering an issue with compressed horn / driver gaskets that will allow these to buzz and vibrate at certain frequencies. We installed new gaskets on them which solved the issue which was very elusive to figure out. We also disassembled the mid horn drivers and removed any accumulated debris / dust for distortion free performance (amazing what can find it's way in there after 20+ years). After installing the new foam, each woofer was AF swept from 2000 Hz all the way down to 18 Hz! Likely just like you, I remember seeing these in the Radio Shack catalog and then seeing the price, thinking maybe "someday". Well maybe "someday" is here. Features include: - 3-way, Bass-Reflex design -15" Low Frequency Driver (woofer) with 4-Layer, brass VC capable of frequencies to 20 Hz. Cone is molded with asymmetrical ribs to reduce power robbing "eddy currents" -Multi-Cell, 30 x 90 Mid horn with Dome diaphragm driver -Horn Tweeter with Compression Phase Plug - Mid and Tweeter Attenuators with infinitely variable L-Pads ranging from -6 to +6 dB Specs: Frequency Response: 20-25,000Hz Efficiency: 90dB 1w @ 1m Nominal Impedance: 8Ω each Cross-over frequencies: at 800Hz & 8kHz Recommended Power amplifier rating: 100+ watts The real wood, dark Walnut veneer cabinets in great shape with a few minor veneer chips at the corners. The original brown, acoustically transparent grills are in great shape as well. Grill frames perfect with no broken or repaired parts. Tweeter / Attenuator mounting plates have a few cracks around the screw holes that seem to be common on most of these. Not a "sonic" performance issue. Both woofer surrounds just replaced with new foam for years of trouble-free service. The Walnut wood veneer cabinets have just had a fresh coat of lemon oil rubbed in to bring out their original luster. Great speaker for just about any volume level and any genre of music. Perfectly happy as back ground music reproducers or for "peeling paint off the walls" at your next party! Look, work and sound great!. Cabinets measure 28.5" H x 17.5" W x 12" D and weighs a hefty 52 lbs each. Includes our standard 90 day limited warranty (excluding problems due to under / over powering.

Their expansive baffle board serves to reduce any "out of phase" reflections / wave anomalies from neighboring surfaces. This way the speaker can "control" it's sonic results, instead of having it's environment as the major contributor. Secondly the tall stature of the A200 puts the tweeter more on plane with your ears, instead of your knees. The real wood, dark Oak veneer in great shape, as are the original black knit grills. Grill frames perfect with not broken or repaired parts. Both woofer surrounds just replaced with new foam for years of trouble-free service. Great speaker for up to mid volume levels.

VINTAGE SANSUI SP-200 SP200 STEREO SPEAKERS Circa 1974-76 FOR SALE Another from the early SP-XXX line, the SP-200 Hi-Fi speakers. At the time this was the second from the top of the line, that Sansui ever built. Very efficient design, so they are good for making smaller amps sound HUGE! Features: - 3-Way, 5 driver design - 12" woofer with non-deteriorating cloth surround - Dual 5" cone type Mids with sealed backs. This design allows no influence from the woofer, thus more efficient mids. - Dual 2" radial horn tweeters - 6" tuned port to extend bass even further than the woofer already produces - "Real" internal cross-over with Hi and Mid Frequency attenuation controls Specs: Freq Response: 30-20,000 Hz Impedance: 8Ω Crossover points: 1500Hz and 5KHz with 12dB / octave roll-off Recommended Power Rating: 40 watt max power rating These speakers produce "Deep" and "Tight" bass and are conservatively rated at 40 watts. While their power rating might seem low, they are from an era when "efficiency" was king and most super high-end systems were rated from 5-30 watts utilizing "single-ended" tube amps. We auditioned them and most of our speakers, with our channel Hafler Semi-Pro power amp that bench tested at 203 watts per channel, if that give's you an idea of the flexibility of power ratings on speakers. These were brought back by a G.I. who served in Viet Nam. He purchased 3 pair of speakers, including this pair of SP-200's. They have all been taken care of very well over the years. These look almost NEW! Cabinet finish is real Walnut wood veneer. The real wood lattice grills are also in great shape as well, with only minor chips that have been re-stained to disappear (see lower set of photos above). All drivers work and sound fine! Tested for all frequencies with a sweep generator. All drivers work and sound fine! Cosmetics great for age, with only normal, most minor of wear. These are the cleanest 200's we've had and this is about our 3rd or 4th pair in 13 years. Speakers look and sound GREAT! We also cleaned the attenuators for distortion / drop-out free performance. You won't be disappointed. Each cabinet measures 25.25"h x 15.25"w x 12.5"d and weigh 41 lbs each unpacked. Includes our standard 30 day limited warranty ( excluding problems due to under / over powering). SANSUI SP-200 Cond. 8.5+++ $389. Pair.
