Title: Hey you! Wanna trade? You want speakers? I want headphones.
Post by: SunnyDaze on November 11, 2010, 09:26:08 PM
I don't really want to put these on ePay and mess with boxing them and shipping them. I don't particularly feel the need to change any gear in my setup. I do, however, love headphones. If you've got a set of Beyer / Grado / Sens / AKG's and are willing to trade me for these puppies, get at me.

Cosmetically, I'd give them a 7.5 / 10. Functionally, I'd give them a 10/10. I recently replaced the super-tweeter and the horn tweeter in one of the speakers. There are a few scuff marks on the corners, and a few other minor cosmetic detractors. The grilles and lattice are in perfect shape. All drivers are flawless and operating perfectly. If you want better pictures, just ask.

These speakers sound awesome. If anyone is interested, I can bring them up to the shop for a test-drive. The last set went on ePay for $152 + $75 shipping.

PM me with an offer and we'll talk.

  I have three pair, first a brand new, unopened pair of Sennheiser HD-202, A factory rebuilt pair of Koss Pro 4AA, A pair of rat shack Titanium cans, sound real nice. Made by Koss, about 4 years old.

We can do one of two things, we can meet at the shop and listen to each others offerings and decide, or we can meet at your place. I live an hour south of the city, so the less I have to drive, the better. Maybe tomorrow? I have to go to Guitar Center in Monroeville go pick up my girlfriends ukulele anyhow.

Where do you live at?

Are those RS titanium cans open? I think they're the same as the Koss titaniums?

The rs cans are the same as Koss, they are used, but in good shape and sound good. The HD-202's are the ones still sealed.
   I am not allowed out after dark, so meeting may be a problem.
 I live on RT. 28N of the city, exit 15.

Yeah dude, you live WAY up there. I can meet you at the shop pretty much whenever next week. Would that be okay? School's out, so I'm free until Jan 18. Was that you who I remember saying had a set of electrostats?

Now I need to fabricate some reason to visit the shop.

I sold them.  Schools not out for my kids, so we would have to meet by noon, so I could be home to pick kids up....  and we would have to make sure it is cool with Tom so he could be at the shop.
I will pm you my phone number so we could arrange.

Well, if it's that complicated, I can just come to you. Plus hearing your system wouldn't suck.

How good of shape are those 4AA's in? Those are what I'm really interested in. Do you think it'd be possible for to get some more pictures of them if it's not a huge pain in the toucas?

 Are the RS Titanium phones actually metal? I remember them having an actual "Titanium" phone, and a folding plastic version that looked similar.

We have HD202's at school, they're a bit tiny on my monster mellon, but, that's life.

The 4AA's are factory rebuilt, under the lifetime warranty, the are minty!!! New drivers, foam headband, and surrounds.
  The rat shacks are plastic, non folding. They do sound good, I think anyway.
