Mike Lindsey Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 I just sent him an Email as well since he only lives about 10 minutes from me. I asked him if it was OK for me to come over to his house and check it out personally. Will let you guys know how it looks (and sounds if possible)...

myram Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 Someone better hit the "buy it now" quickly. At that price I am tempted to get it and put it back on there for $550 and double my money. Don't wait for the bidding to end.....it's going to be gone long before that. ------------------ Home Theater Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 I hear you Steve, but I won't buy it without seeing pictures first... Mike ------------------ My Music Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discusman Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 i hear you too mike .... now will you really tell us how it looks and sounds before you bid the max price ... now that you know we're on the lookout as well. i'm just kidding. you're just in luck that it's so close to you. plus you're a good guy so you deserve it. besides, right now I'm more interested in the cornwall that's about 2 hours drive from me. i've not decided on it yet since i have 2 pairs of chorus II's - what in the world am i going to do if i liked the cornwalls better?. Please ... somebody tell me that the chorus' are better than the cornwalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 discus, He just gave me his number and I left a message. To be honest, as much as I would like to get one of these, it's just not that important at the moment. I really don't have the money with Christmas and all, and besides, I do have a center at the moment. If I didn't have one, I would probably persue it. If I can swing by and see it tomorrow, I will let you know how it looks... Mike ------------------ My Music Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discusman Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 thanks mike ... you're right though. we need to watch our expenses since christmas is coming up. i remember this time last year ... my wife let me buy my first home theather system ... Klipsch Quintets. i've upgraded everything a few times since then. maybe time to chill out for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawk92 Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 So....who picked this beauty up? Using the "Buy it now" was a great deal! If it wasn't so close to Xmas, I'd have thought about bidding on that one myself, but it would have been nice to have some pics. Any luck Mike?

Mike Lindsey Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Rob Curran was the only board member I recognized that was bidding on it. I called the guy but never got to talk to him. Oh well... there will be another and the crazyness will start all over again. Mike ------------------ My Music Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthfreek Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 This brings up a little topic I've always wondered about. Can you guys believe some of the merchandise offered on eBay without pictures???!!! I mean come on. I see CARS on eBay without pics. Go buy a $50 digital camera for Christ's sake. I rarely if ever buy anything without a pic and I buy a lot of stuff from eBay.

jhawk92 Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 Mike- I had asked for pics on the Fortes, but he didn't have any. Made me concerned not to see them. But, someone got a good deal on the Academy. Besides, even if there are a few minor scratches, it will be up on the TV, so probably not too noticable.

Curmudgeon Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Hello everyone, I was reading various posts on the forum and ventured over to the home theater section only to notice the Academy topic. Started reading and got the eerie feeling that it was just too familiar so I hit the eBay link to discover that I bought the speaker being discussed here. I had been looking for a decent Academy for a while and decided to go for this one, apparently from the other postings I got a fairly decent deal on it. I mailed out payment yesterday so hopefully I'll have it in a week or so. I got this to go with my Cornwall II's due to my recent decision to move them from 2-channel to home theater duty. I'm currently using a Cerwin-Vega LS6C which matched up OK but not great so I can't wait to hear the system with the properly matched center. If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations on the Academy speaker I would be glad to hear them. Hope everyone has a nice holiday! 2-CHANNEL Mobile Fidelity UltrAmp (Michael Yee PA-1) amp Rotel RC-1070 preamp Rega Planet CD player Linn Sondek LP12 turntable Denon DR-F7 cassette deck B&W CDM9NT speakers HOME THEATER Sherwood R-956 (utilized as a pre-pro) Acurus A125X5 amp Sony DVP-S330 DVD Sony CDP-C725 CD Toshiba W704 VHS Klipsch Cornwall II main's (Birch) Klipsch KSW12 sub Cerwin-Vega LS6C center (Academy on the way!)

jhawk92 Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Audio- Congrats! You got a great price. You will have to let us know how it looks once you hook it up. The speaker should do great with Cornwalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
