Wharfedale Diamond 9.6's & DCM TF350's for Trade
« on: March 28, 2013, 10:23:07 AM »
Got two sets of speakers to trade. Basically just looking for a change. I'll trade both for a cool set of speakers or maybe trade a set plus some cash to boot for a better set. Let me know what you've got. I'm in Parkersburg, WV but wouldn't mind taking the trip to the Pittsburgh area for something interesting. Sorry for the crappy iphone pics. These come from a clean, non-smoking home. Thanks, Shayne

First off Wharfedale Diamond 9.6 towers. 8" bass driver, 8" mid bass driver and dome mid and tweets. Black cherry finish with black base and spikes. I'm the original owner and they are in really nice shape. The only thing worth mentioning is a little bit of a rash in the veneer on the back of one of them. It met with a brick wall when I was moving them. Not visible from the front. Functionally perfect. Well reviewed!




On to the DCM's. These are the Time Frame (TF350) transmission line system. 6.5" woofer, .75" tweeter. Very impressive for size. I bought these from the original owner. I have the original shipping crates. Condition is great with only a couple snags and spots on the grill cloth here and there. Very presentable. The original woofers had foam rot. I intended to just replace the foam, but one of the drivers had some issues so I opted to replace the drivers with Peerless units. Sound great and ready to go.

I'm sure sometime Saturday would be cool. I know we are having an Easter dinner at the house Saturday, but maybe before or after that. I'll get back to you soon.

I have a guy who wants to trade a guitar i've got for a set of Boelender Gabener Radia 520i's ribbon speakers. Anyone know anything about those? If the trade goes down, these speakers will still be available but I would consider selling them outright.

Stephen came over Saturday night to listen to these. He has some trade bait that I need to go check out. He wasn't interested in the DCM's, so still available. Wharfedales pending for the moment.

The deal with the Bohlender Grabener's has apparently fallen through. The deal was made but the guy with the speakers wanted to meet half way, I offered to drive the whole distance to his place so I could hear the speakers and now.....silence. Either they were f'd up or the guy was nervous to have a stranger at his place. Oh well.

Still available, will trade one or both sets and possibly add cash for some cool speakers. Hit me with a cash or trade offer.
