speakers for  $ 30,49
« on: February 04, 2003, 04:59:24 am »

I was wake up at 4 this morning by strong winds fantastic rain .
I did some surfing and found this auction ,5 minutes left ,no bid.
Fast fast i entered my credit card number and did the minimum bid...and i got it.
$18,44 for express delevery and they are here.
I do not like standing floor speakers ,i do not like the black color.
There is too much bass to my taste . But i will change the cables.
And now I  can wait until i buy the ones i want - who are never in auction-

They say regular price is $1000. But i do not think so.
At $1000 they are a bad deal. At $500/700 i do think they are fair.
At $30,49 ...nothing to say.....

That's a bargain but if you buy the wood, speakers, wire, and connectors and make then yourself you don't pay much more ( or less it depends) ( speakers with no mark like Sony or other )

Peerless is a well know company fron Denemark -if i am not wrong- doing only loudspeakers ,not speakers.
Here they built the speakers.
Anyway for the next few months it is fine.
After that i will sell them and buy the ones i really want at $1200

I  cleaned all the connections ,put a new cable.. put some cones as small legs- 4-5 centimeters-
And ,in fact they are very very good.
I cannot play at volume 8 like before.
Even me i cannot stand it...... It makes REALLY to much noise.

Let's see if i can explain myself in my bad english  :) , the speakers have only one connector or have 2?
(Conector)


I'm askind that because the speakers i make have two conectors, one for the woofer or internal subwoofer and the other for tweeters and others, and if you have an amp with the sub-woofer output and the normal output but in the same channel

The picture is very dark ,i cannot see .

I have 2 connectors.
If it is what you mean.
At the back        

                              -  +
                              -   +

I do not see any difference using one st or another.
And according to the support service from the speakers company ,they are the same connectors.

My amp is an old one with no frills
Not even bass or treeble   just volume.



But ,my english is bad as well:to much noise means it is to loud ,the music is to loud.

Not that there is noises that are not part of the music.

I use to play music at VERY loud level -i mean it-.
With the other speakers ,amp was never below level 8 .
Now i get the same level with amp at  volume 6.

Now i understand   ;D but for that price i keep saying it's a bargain, here in Portugal it's impossible to find speakers like that at that price already mounted ( assembled ), god luck with your new toy  ;)

Do not forget : it was an auction with no bid on it and 5 minutes left.

Regular price ,as i said is $1000.
Now i am sure it is true , because they are really very good.
I think i will keep them.
Just sand the wood and put some brown vernis instead of the black .

And ,yes it is a real very big bargain at this price.
And yes i started to enjoy it .
I play music average 12 hours a day ,so ...

Hi Zevele, nice choise of speakers, pretty and good, i downloaded the pdf document and i must say i'm impress, specially by the Bass driver with a 150 mm polymer cone, by the way, buy another Amp, and with 2 Amps and that Speakers and the others from the Auction, you don't need nothing more  to enjoy great sound :) . I think that your neighbors don't like my ideia  ;D ;D

I think that your neighbors don't like my ideia  

I did a lot of sonique isolation in the flat ,when i renovated it. So let say that when playing very loud i do not make more noise than someone playing not yet loud.

But what do you want me to do with TWO-2- amps??!!!.
I can plug 4 speakers from my amp.
Anyway ,i do not think i will buy the english ones - not for now-

But they sound just FANTASTIC . And keep in mind they are really small - but very heavy-

They are bookshelf speakers.
Well kind of.....
