WANTED: Speakers $150 and under
« on: February 24, 2015, 11:59:06 AM »
Hi guys,

I have a friend who is looking for some speakers for his living room, he is primarily into hard rock/classic metal.  He is a musician so he has a decent ear, but doesn't need anything insanely high end.  He wants to stay under $150.  I was thinking Cerwin Vegas, but not solely looking for this brand.. Anyone have something for sale that would fit his needs?  Thanks a lot

I have a pair of VS-120's I want to sell. 

Was going to ask $200 though.

Does he need pounding bass?   If not, I have a pair of EPI 180s I was just getting ready to refoam.   I also have a pair of EPI 100s that I could have ready to go tomorrow, just need a driver swap.   Those have the original boxes.

They would be $125 and $60, respectively.

I'm pretty sure he would want something more bass dominant.  EPI's are cool I have M-201's.  I am going to have to talk with him tonight or tomorrow and see exactly what he is looking for.  Sorry for not being able to be more specific

I haven't heard the 180s yet, but with dual 8"s, I don't imagine they will be thin, just not heavy.

Might want to look for a pair of NHTs. Even the SuperOnes have a big sound and go down below 40htz just a thought

a bunch of nice sounding stuff. Nice that I'm finally able to actually listen to file music for the first time...

There is always the Large Advent, which depending on condition and cabinet can be found for $150/pair.

Perhaps VS-100s based on the stated dimensions.
