Hi all, I was hoping someone here could help me out. I was recently burglarized and had all my stereo equipment stolen. The insurance company is trying to shaft me on the value of a pair of speakers I had, but I am having trouble locating a fairly comparable set that's currently available, to show them as a reasonable replacement cost. I figured a forum like this must have lots of experts that might be able to help out.
My old speakers were Yamaha NS-A838 speakers. The insurance Co. is trying to value replacement cost at like $53.00, but I don't think I can find something comparable for that. Everything I've found is either not as good, or much more expensive... so can anyone throw me some suggestions for speakers that might compare that are currently available?
Here's the stats on the old ones, right from Yamaha:
Type Three-Way Acoustic Suspension, Magnetically Shielded Bookshelf
Driver Complement Woofer = 12 in. Hi-polymer Coated Cone, Midrange = 4 in. Cone, Tweeter = 1 in. Dome, Neodymium Magnet
Input Power Nominal = 100W, Music Input = 200W
Frequency Response 40 to 20,000 Hz, +/-3.5dB
Dimensions Width = 14-3/4 in., Height = 22-5/8 in., Depth = 14-7/8 in.
Weight 30.6 lbs. (pair)
They are called bookshelf speakers, but they're 15 lbs a piece and I used them on the floor anyway.
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions!
