    Guillaume Lemaire

    :'( Condolences to his family.  Met him many years ago for one of his LP service and setups on my deck, together with his Hercules PS.  A huge loss to our local AV community. RIP

    Yeah that's definitely true.

    Asking Prices for Speakers

    :clap:....yip can't argue with that. :) While some have, others haven't.  And some were price related clearly, while others are often product related.  Some gear is not popular or recognised and tends to be rather slow, whether new, relatively new or older models.

    Asking Prices for Speakers

    A more appropriate response would probably be justified.... But....This is an open forum for discussions on a variety of topics all of which are based on opinion and sharing.  I purposefully did not comment on any Sales Thread, but under General Discussion as I would agree, that is not the...

    Asking Prices for Speakers

    Of course willing seller/buyer scenario. It's not a gripe from me to be fair, just commenting on something which appears to be a bit of trend IMO. For example I paid R8,5k for my 704's about 5 years ago ..... granted beach and not the more popular Rosenut. :)

    Thoughts on a new preamplifier

    I'm with Francois and his selections, but my personal favourite Valve Audio Black Widow Pre....all the way.  And if you wanna buy and never think to look around again, but spend on Power next, while I know it's just a Rotel Power amp, but even a VA Genesis Pre.  :notworthy:

    Clearly.... but I'm suggesting is that sellers are going in too high as a conversation starter... :)

    Asking Prices for Speakers

    Is it just me, or are people expecting way too much for speakers that are 15 to 20yrs plus old?  In some cases expecting to get almost the same as they paid? I realise speakers and amps age better than many of the other products, which are more radically impacted by tech innovation, etc., but...
