Picked up a pair of B&W speakers today. I haven't heard them yet but I have high expectations. I've read nothing but great things about them.
Vintage? What are they
They are DM602 S2 bookshelf speakers. I got a great deal on them because one of the tweeters has a small dent in it. Replacement diaphragms for these hard to come by but there are aftermarket ones that cost around $15.00. I figured they were worth checking out.
So far, I have only played a few songs through them. I can't hear any distortion from that tweeter. In fact, I think they sound very good. Lots of bass and a lot of detail. They will probably end up getting used as near field monitors in my home studio.

Those domes get damaged by heavy breathing. It's ridiculous. I recall reading that there should be no audible effect, just visual. I have a pair of 602s and one is bent. I can't tell.

Yeah, they seem pretty delicate. I have been playing them tonight and I can't hear any issues. I might dig into them at some point but they seem fine for now.
How do you like your 602s? Do you think they compare well to some of the other speakers you've had?

Got a steal on this early 90’s JVC XL-Z451. Inside is clean af!! Aside from the top cover it appears almost new. Sounds incredible to my hearing damaged ears!

Dark Matter gets the honorable first spin.
Very cool! Those are great players and very feature-rich. A buddy of mine has one and it sounds very good, indeed. Congrats!

Gifts from my friends parents and one of their friends…. The speakers came from my buddy’s parents. The sansui sp2000’s he bought in Vietnam and had shipped back to the states. The boxes were housing them. Next to those boxes are the actual Sansui lm330’s. I have no idea what the wicker surround speakers are. They look like speakers you’d hang in a studio. I’m unsure of those.
The Marantz 1250 came from the friends parents’ friend. There were other components but those haven’t been found yet.
Haven’t tested squat yet. Happy to have them though. I’ll give them a good home.

I'm also getting an itch. I spent meeting time yesterday shopping tube preamps. Thinking about going with a hybrid system.
what piece was the gift?
