The German-engineered Thorens TD-206 is a high-quality, manual belt-drive turntable featuring a rigid MDF plinth, an innovative TP 90 tonearm, and an adjustable-tension motor.

This table really pops in the Thorens fire engine red finish.

We have outfitted it with a new Thorens drive belt, a new Grado Prestige Red 4 cartridge, a new set of Pro-Ject Connect-it E grounded RCA cables, a Pro-ject clamp, and a Thorens acrylic platter topper.

This particular cartridge and turntable pairing offers a warm and balanced reproduction and the TD-206 has become a sought-after piece for collectors.

This is an excellent bundle deal at $899.

Stylish as James Bond or Tony Curtis in a white tuxedo, these Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 are the flagship floorstanding speakers in the Venere series.

Borrowing the lyre-shaped cabinet from their top-of-the-line Aida speakers, they also benefit from trickle down technology from the company's speakers that cost four times the retail price.

Sonus Faber's voicing choices for this model lean more toward musical than analytical. They have a wide sound stage and rival much more expensive speakers.

They are complete with glass outrigger plates, spikes, spike shoes, grilles, and factory boxes.
They are in excellent shape and less than a year old.

These look and sound fantastic and are a great deal!

We are asking $1699 for the pair.

The Monitor Audio Radius HD One is a premium, passive three-channel "speaker bar".

Instead of being a traditional all-in-one powered soundbar, it functions as a single, passive, slim cabinet that houses discreet Left, Center, and Right speakers and binding posts requiring a surround receiver and speaker wire.

The Radius One features three pairs of 4" bass drivers and 1" Gold Dome tweeters each operating in their own dedicated, reflex-ported acoustic chamber to prevent channel bleeding.

Just add satellite speakers and a sub for a high quality alternative in compact surround setups.

This speaker is in great shape, and we think it makes a perfect space-saving home theater option.

We are asking $299

The 100 watt-per-channel Bryston 3B solid- state stereo power amplifier is a highly regarded compact powerhouse known for its clean, dynamic, and detailed sound.

Doubling the power into 4 ohms, and bridgeable for more power in mono, it's compact, rackable footprint, stability, and flexibility work well in various setups.

This amp sounds fantastic, and drives speakers with excellent control, clarity, and authority.

Cosmetically, the unit does show some signs of use, top and side discoloration and small marks here and there, but it is in great working order and presents very well overall

For anyone looking for a respected Bryston amplifier that combines strong performance, a compact design, and the classic sound quality the brand is known for, this is an excellent piece.

We are asking $499

This complete vintage HiFi system is a perfect small room setup.

The cool factor starts with the compact, mid-sized Kenwood components from their heyday. Often considered a "giant killer" in the audiophile community for it's warm, analog sound that punches well above its class both in build and performance.

The efficient EPI Model 100 speakers are an excellent match for the Kenwood 40 watt-per-channel integrated amp. The speakers do have some cosmetic issues, but they could be easily restored and they sound fantastic.

This system sounds really great and makes for a really nice, compact, retro HiFi system in a bedroom or den.

* Kenwood KA-3500 Integrated Amp

* Kenwood KT-5300 Tuner (the system sign says 3500, but it is a 5300 which is the correct matching tuner. The 3500 was an older, tube based tuner)

* Sherwood PD-701B Turntable w/ new cartridge

* EPI Model 100 Speakers

(All necessary hook-up cables included)

We are asking $769 on sale.

If you are in the market for a pair of vintage loudspeakers because you are of the mindset that modern speakers can be too bright and analytical, The Bowers & Wilkins 802 Series 80
floorstanding speakers are praised for their natural sound, excellent imaging, dynamic performance, and yet they lack the edginess of brighter modern speakers, and are considered a "best-selling vintage" option.

802 Series 80 features a three-way, sealed, modular acoustic suspension speaker design, which offer tight, punchy bass, and natural, non-fatiguing sound. There are also contour controls on the rear for tuning the speakers to your liking.

They are in really good condition for their age, have only had one owner, and include their grilles.

They sound fantastic, shine at higher volumes, and are considered both an excellent "loudspeaker", as well as performing really well at lower levels.

We are asking $1,899 for the pair.

The original KEF LSX is a highly acclaimed compact wireless HiFi system known for its ability to produce rich, high-fidelity sound from a small form factor.

Encorporating the famous KEF Uni-Q driver array, a Class-D amplifier, a subwoofer output, and wireless streaming supporting dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2, and Tidal direct.

These are an excellent all-in-one solution for a desktop, small room, or office.

Included are the power cables, remote control, KEF B1 wall mount brackets, and an Ethernet cable.

We think they look great in the Carbon Black fabric finish, and we are reminded why the LSX and it's current versions are so popular. They sound really good.

We are asking $449 with the $250 retail wall brackets included.

05/01/2026

The Talon Ravon C floorstanding speakers are an efficient 90db two-way speaker design. They are clear, dynamic, and fast, with a huge center stage and really tight bass. The addition of the large, optional Talon spikes also make a significant difference with regard to bass speed and presence.

These are a prime example of a"loudspeaker" in that they will play very loud and clear with a soundstage that is both large and deep. The Accuton ceramic tweeter is smooth as silk and the ten inch woofer is seemless in its bass integration.

We think these speakers are really awesome, and they are an excellent deal compared to their $8,700 retail price with these spikes.

This pair is in excellent condition with a couple of marks and blems in hard to see places.

We are asking $2,299 for the pair.

It would be very hard to find a speaker as good as these anywhere near this price point.
