(Possible) score- Pioneer SX-580 receiver

[Elite-ist]

Sorry, Jim - it appears this thread has taken a diversion to a pro-Realistic exit.



Miles: I have my original pair of Minimus 7s with mounting brackets (unused) and have a second pair (White) for component testing purposes.

I got this armload of gear for $20 in a past Innovative Audio Garage Sale. Included was a nice Pioneer SX-424 receiver, like Miles had.



Nando.

Was that an "All You could carry" sale Nando?

 

[Miracle Mile]

Nando,

I still own several pairs of them, including the same ones rebranded for TEAC; the LS-X7's....

Lee: Yes, the famous All You Can Carry For $20 at the close of a few successive IA Garage Sales.

This guy made two trips:

This one on the picture isn't the SX-424, but an SX-525 perhaps?

(can't find the exact type number in the rush of things...)

Miles: I didn't know about the Teacs. I also think there was an Audiosonic version. I have a pair of them, too.

You're right, Miles - it was an SX-434 not SX-424.

Ah...

What the heck!

Now that we've ruined J!M's thread and talking about speakers, I can mention that these ones are on top of my wanting list:



The Yamaha NS-10M's....


They are world famous in every studio.

 

[laatsch55]

Why?

 

[Miracle Mile]

Because they sound so goddamn ugly...

If your mix is sounding good on these speakers, it will sound good on anything.


That's the trick...

A lot of studios used the Yamaha NS-10Ms for nearfield monitors when recording.

Yep...

This is becoming a favourite thread...

I'm sure J!M will approve it.

 

[J!m]

What model Polks are you gonna run with it ?

I’d have to dig them out. Nothing special.

Something we have all been accustomed doing best, forum-wise, here on Phoenix - going the wrong way down a one way street. And no police around to get caught. Oops... I am supposed to be the police!

Jim: After all the posts on this thread, you are almost semi-committed to buying the SX-580. Show this thread to the seller for a $10 discount on the price of the receiver.

Nando.

 

[J!m]

I don’t think he’ll give a discount. But I am going to ask if he has other “junk” to get rid of…

And Miles, I have a pair of NS10s, the pre-“M” version; the ones originally chosen for the job.

Haven’t been able to try them yet…

 

[MarkWComer]

Yep,

Like those famous and mighty solid Minumus speakers....



I still have them in use for several purposes and never let me down.

They are still true little miracles.

Remember the “buy one and get the second for 1¢ sale” they had from time to time?
