Supposedly, these are an absolute tremendous value for the $; a true deal of the century type of thing. Just ordered a pair cuz I needed a new cheap pair of IEM's for the gym.

Paging BRANDON especially.

yeah, you know I just realized that my listening spot is like 4.5' from the speakers ... nearfield Ken?

Yep. Damn son.

and here I am wasting my time with shit ... i can just get those studio monitors ... (in another 2 weeks)
another realization dawned on me ... i have no rack to put all this shit on ... especially one that's crayon stabbing proof.

rack

 

[Krilons Resa]

yea but if your situation ever changes, youre stuck with them. id get something a bit more versatile. however, i dont know how something that cheap can be considered a "monitor." near field is deemed anything less than 5 feet if i remember correctly.

 

[lurch70]

dude, I have craigslist ... i never get stuck with anything.
sold that Velodyne sub in one day with totally dried driver.

 

[lurch70]

rack

or most likely this kind of cheap shit

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40105340/

not buying anything major while we still live in this apartment ... maybe next year ... IF we both still have steady income.

 

[dorian gray]

yeah, I was 'bout to reco IKEA.
If ya gots the bling, Room and Board is my go-to for high-end furniture.

 

[lurch70]

i think i just got totally dissed in that last post

 

[dorian gray]

haha! no, no I was trying to say that if you want something expensive, then Room and Board is the place to get it. There's one in Soho. Check it out.
In the meantime...IKEA

 

[lurch70]

never hear of room and board until 2 posts ago ... interesting as with a name like that i was expecting some good values ... instead I got STICKER SHOCK!

[Krilons Resa]

i think i have a bit of eBay fever again.
just the preamp i scored a few weeks ago sold on eBay from another seller yesterday for $161

not to mention i found 2 other "moving out" treasure audio rigs on craigslist yesterday that were listed for like 1/4 of what they are going on eBay. awaiting to hear from the sellers.

i don't know if you guys know but I used to own a retail ebay drop-off store about 8 years ago with a partner ...

all we know is that you are some shadowy eastern block fellow with some kind of import/export business
