Selling the lot!! Consider Linn Classik as PX.

Due to impending house purchase, I am selling all my hifi. Everything is in excellent condition and boxed unless stated.

Sim Moon Eclipse CD Player (four months old, latest model. Rated as one of the finest available alongside the wadia 861 and Levinson 390s. ML like staging with Naim like rythmn) new £5495 sell for £2750

Sim Moon P5/W3 Pre Power (four months old, fabulous! Musical with great timing and tremendous bass weight) new £8000 sell for £4500

Teac P30 (reference Cd transport-no box) new £2895 sell for £1450

Custom JBL subwoofers (music subs, featuring the 1500AL bass driver from the speaker PM considers the best in the world. Placed in a cabinet custom built professionally to a design by Greg Timbers, chief engineer at Harman). These things do what subs should do, just add weight to small speakers. Intensly musical. Not really for AV. new approx £3000 each. I have two, will sell for £1500 each or £2000 the pair. These are passive designs without crossovers. Work superbly with the Tact RCS2.2X

Crown K1 digital amplifier (for subwoofers) 350wpc, great bass. new £1295 sell for £800

Merlin VSM Millenium floorstanding loudspeakers. One of only two pairs in the country, these are without doubt one of the finest small speakers on the planet. Stereophile favourably compared them with the Sonus Faber Amati Homage soundwise, and I think they are better. I have yet to hear a better speaker for a typical UK living enviroment and I had electrostatics before! Check out the feedback at www.merlinmusic.com. Cost new £6000 plus shipping. Sell for £2500.

You could probably trade that lot in for a house Cor blimey.

Do you have anything for less than £20

 

I don't want to move to wales though CM

 

Yeah, but in its favour Wales is a biggish place - i think it could well make a viable house. And with the money that's left over, you could sack the sheep and make a large lamb pudding for all the ZG'ers to enjoy at your Waleswarming bakeoff fest.

 

Merlin, you got PM.

Good luck shifting those subs BTW !
Collect only I would guess .

 

but Jona lived in Whales, must be cool, they wrote a song for him!

 

All that kit seems to hold its value about as well as a NAP500 after WM's been at it...

Paul

 

Paul, the problem is that a NAP500/552/CDX2 would have cost twice as much in the first place, lost just as much money in the interim, and not sounded anywhere near as good whilst listening to music.Who was it who said "It is better to have loved and lost ,than to have never loved at all"

 

Merl,

I take it you've already sold off all of your Shunyatas then?

 

Ah now the intention is to keep those for the AV system you won't beleive how good the picture is on the Panasonic!

 

Holy crap Merlin. What are you going to replace that lot with? I've got a 1985 Naim 42.5/110 combo you can have for £200. You just need to supply a source, a pair of Kans, and some NACA5

-- Ian

 

Ah OK, forgot about your AV system! So you're not going cold turkey after all then. What's the AV amp and speakers your using then?

 

you got pm.

moving anywhere nice ?

 

Source will include an arm and needle by george Ian

Henry, it's just a Rotel integrated with the little Proacs and a denon 2900. Should be fine in the short term

 

Aha! So how is the DENON 2900 with CDs. How does it compare to, say, an Alpha 9?

 

How about a straight swap?

 

Re: Re: Selling the lot!! Consider Linn Classik as PX.

Sounds like a good little basic system, why bother with a Linn Classic too? Is the Rotel just a normal stereo hi-fi amp, is it is a/v too?

LMAO!! No, no, me first, I've a Linn Classic to swap!! :argue:

 

merlin,
why not flog off the electronics of your av system as well and get a classik movie instead?
cheers
