tigerwoodKhorns Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Go get 'em.

avguytx Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Nice speakers and decent price except they have the wrong passive radiators in them. Or at least one of them does. What they should look like... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Could even be 500s. Looks correct enough to me. Second pic too dark to see much. Grills seller may not have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they should look like... I don't know my tangents at all. For $225 though it is a nice deal for someone. Wish I had found these when I was a teenager for $225 in 1985 dollars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Most definitely...the 5000s look alike, a db more efficient. Yes for 2 bills, a good garage set at any age. Agree!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 Down to $175, $100 might take them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I believe you are correct at least the one has the wrong passive but luckily those 12" passives pop up quite frequently on eBay for the price especially now at $175 I think it's still a great deal these are pretty close to forte level performance from what I remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt. I'd buy them at $175 and build new cabinets for them since those are about as simple of a cabinet as you can make. You could have a set of Heresy II's or Forte's or Tangents. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winglet Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) Look like t500 t5000 has k28 woofers Passive looks like a kg series one maybe. Edited February 8, 2023 by winglet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 These look like a steal. I just can't justify any more speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got_Horns Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) All original, including the radiators. Cabinets are beat to shit. Didn't really see how bad until I took them outside, after money exchanged hands ...but the idea is to make new ones anyway. Lol like I need another project...what can I say, it's a sickness.

Where would I find the specs for sealed volume and such? I'm sure there is a sweet spot on size for these drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabinets are perfect but you know, not that stellar looking. I plan to build some custom cabs for them. I am PM'ing you on another topic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
