Vinyl Sound

Vinyl Sound

Ah, that's where I'd probably buy them from if the used pair I'm looking at doesn't pan out. (Should know by the end of the weekend.) Looking for tips on how you managed to get $200 off

Mrs. Hollywood is tired of seeing all those damn records on the ground therefore my sales pitch was related easy if you know what I mean

Hope you enjoy them! Their sound is a lot of fun. They sound good out of the box but at about 200 hours they really begin to show what they can do!

Honestly it's just a matter of perfect timing, stars aligning that sort of stuff

Haha there is no secret. He told me he had one pair left in stock of the walnut finish with matching stands and that they typically did not discount them but that he was willing to knock off $100 with free shipping...then I offered to e-transfer him the money right away if he was willing to take off an additional $100 and the rest is history as they say

K, if you don't have any use for them in your tool box, just get them for your speaker grills...............don't use a butter knife (@marshall), lol

I was careful and it worked!!!

I thought I’d read they can be removed easily with magnets? Am I making that up?

There’s a review out there that says the grilles are attached magnetically. The review is very incorrect.

As I'm anxiously awaiting the arrivals of my new Wharfedale Lintons, I've been watching a ton of YT vids about them and I'm amazed at how many people take off the grills when listening

I would initially be concerned about placement, trying tweeters in/out, and break-in.

I would keep the grilles on, they were designed that way as HFG said and it will keep accidents from happening

i think people on youtube just like showing off the speakers without grills, but i have never had the desire to take them off. i love how they look with the grills on.
