That SX-n50 series Pioneer must be good it seems to bring good prices on the used market, $20.00. is a good deal.

I will be bringing the Fisher home tomorrow!!
Will need to see the complete rundown that was done but I know the tube sockets were replaced, bias set and the tape switch replaced. Tech indicated it appears to be in very good shape inside.

Unfortunately I leave on a business trip on Sunday and will not get to spend much time with it. Looking forward to hooking it up to the Heresy II's! :6:

Found these little gems on CL. Tangent were an attempt by Klipsch to mass market some of their speakers. Many of the Tangent are slightly modified versions of higher end Klipsch models. My rationale for getting these (besides the price) was that the K-77 tweeter in them is the same as the tweeter used in my Heresy II's. If I ever need to replace one in my Heresy's I am set.

Currently I use a pair of Heresy I's as the front speakers in my main HT so I have decided to use these as the rear surrounds because I think they are sonically closer to the Heresy's than the Klipsch KM2's I had in place.

This model is the T10 with walnut sides. The grills have a few issues but being all black they are not significant and not visible unless you get real close. Soundwise they are very good and I think will make excellent surrounds. High WAF rating with the walnut cabinet.

WOW,nice. I had some Tangents for awhile,they were the 400's they did a good job,little shy on bass for me,but they were real good other wise. Nice pick-up..

Well Kid welcome to the world of valves. Looking forward to hearing your report.

The fisher will be a great combo with the speakers. Hopefully the wife won't be mad for the new addition.

OH,by George I think I've got it:

Kid. this is for you pic of my invisible SX-650.

Alright Now, I can catch up;

Here's another one I grabed back at the end of Jan. Nice sounding Yamaha R-1000.

Nice power,100 wpc,and did a good job with my Tangent 400's,they sounded good togather.:21:

Very nice.

I picked up a Luxman K-112 cassette deck, yesterday. I haven't figured out where to put it. I don't want it on top of my DAC and phono preamp, so I think I'll make another shelf for this IKEA unit.

That is a very nice luxman! Is it 3 head?

It is indeed a 3-head. It has some pretty impressive specs, so I need to find me some quality blank tape to try it out. So far, all I have are pre-recorded tapes picked up from the used books store.

Nice looking cassette deck,have you got to try it out yet?

I played some pre-recorded tapes on it. They sound very nice for tape, but obviously a step down from the turntable and CD player.

Hey look what my wife snagged for me Sunday. I think I'll let her do all my gear shopping now.:biggrin5:

Looks great, where did she get it from?

She said she got it at a indoor flea market,down around Bloomington,In.

And all the lights work. Impressive. You have a swell wife.

Hi ALL!
I just got a hold of a pair of Sherwood s-8500 Floor Speakers, yes speakers, not a receiver of the same name! I can't find out anything about these speakers. Were they any good in the day? Are they of any value today? Or are they just 2 pieces of fake firewood?
Thanks, Ted

Welcome to AR.
I knew Sherwood made a few speakers,but I can honestly say I have never seen any of them in person. Post some pic's of them,lets have a look see. I'll do some checking,see if I can find any info,if so I'll post it for ya.

Hi!
Just to some pix. Just found out that they are "Liquid Cooled".....KOool !

How do they sound? They look like nice cabinets, well made, like they have some girth to them.

Audio Ted II;
Sorry:
Not much luck finding info on these.Found one post on another forum about a different model,S-8200 about the same as yours. From the looks they were sold with a rack system, and not as separates. They look nice,so if you like what you hear,thats all that matters.

I agree if you like them and they work might as well use them for something. The truth is though speakers sold with rack systems, no matter the brand, were typically cheezy.
