DizRotus Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 A couple of weeks ago, an old friend from college (The "old" part is redundant. It’s like saying , “I saw an old Corvair.” Is there another kind?) GAVE me a pair of these vintage Auratone 5RC speakers, as well as a pair of Koss headphones. I immediately gave the phones to my son, who says they’re great. I didn’t pay attention to the model number on the Koss, just re-gifted them to my son. I had charged my friend $130 to repair some crappy mini-blinds (also redundant) in his office. When I returned the repaired blinds and took his check, he presented me with the speakers, the headphones and some CDs. I set the speakers aside and just now got around to putting power to them using an un-refurbished HK730. These little suckers are amazing. Naturally, I Googled “Auratone” and found what a windfall I’d received. The photo attached to this post is from the Google search. It shows how they hook together for easy transport. The photos attached to subsequent posts are the actual speakers. I guess it’s because it’s Sunday. I felt so guilty I went to PayPal and refunded the $130. I sent the following email: Dave, I've refunded your $130 via PayPal. Those little speakers are worth more than that. I don't know how I'll use them, but I love them; you can't have them back. Also, Ross likes the headphones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Iknow there can't be too many photos, especially when nudity is involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 As I type this, I'm enjoying Buffalo Springfiled, For What It's Worth, which is much more than FREE or $130. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Congrats! Every studio had a pair of Auratones to doublecheck their mixes. I think John Albright has a pair, but I'm not sure which model. Not the ones meant for portability, though. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
