    Good set up ?

    I just recently obtained some vintage hardware and am looking to complete my system. My main components are a Macintosh C26 preamp and a Macintosh MC2105 amplifier. I am currently working with a KLH model-18 tuner and other various inputs. My item I am lacking is speakers.... so, My question for discussion is : I have te opportunity to purchase a set of Jamo Cornet 100's (approx $200) ... will this do my system justice or should I be looking something a bit higher end (money is always an object).

    thanks for any input.
    Any one trying to get rid any speakers??

    Thanks, Radwints

          Mark, what qualities are you looking for in a speaker? That will help us make more useful suggestions.

              Radwints the classified area is at the bottom of the forum and is called the Pawn Shop. You might also want to visit www.audiogon.com and www.ebay.com as other sites to find used gear. Audiogon would be my suggestion over eBay though if you must purchase over the web. Many audio shops also take in trades which might also be a great venue to purchase used or demo products with the added advantage being that you get to hear them first.

              Of that list though the only ones I'd look at are the Klipsch.

              What's your budget and what are you planning on using as an amp and CD source?

                Thanks Andrew,

                I checked out Audiogon.... WOW some high end stuff there, a bit out of my league unless I cash in on the lottery.
                I have been searching Ebay and will browse the Pawn shop.
                The Amp I'm using to drive with is a McIntosh MC2105 (105 w/ch) and my CD/DVD unit is a combo but am looking at upgrading.

                The klipsch 3.2 are looking good for about $200 or I can get the Hersey's locally for about $400.

                No opinion on the bulldogs ??

                Again Thanks for the Links

                  Faulty Jamo 6510sub
                  by directitstore
                  Bought this $900+ dollar sub as part of the Jamo PDD.5 system from Harvey Norman, Auburn, Aust only a month or so ago.

                  Anyway, while watching the T.V (on a low power level) this loud buzzing noise was apparent, with no bass sound output just this LOUD buzzing noise.

                  After...

                  Jamo speaker advise needed
                  by paisley
                  Hi,

                  I am looking for some feedback on the Jamo PJ-HCS4500 Home Cinema 5 speaker set.

                  Is it a decent set of speakers for music and home theatre?

                  thanks in advance

                  I'm happy to see more commercial dipole speakers! :P Could it be a Revelator tweeter with Seas Excel mid and SLS 15" woofers?

                  A-51 with KLH and JBL speakers?
                  by Jman78
                  So in May I took the plunge into Parasound land. I went from an Onkyo receiver TX-DS797 (which I'm now using as a pre/pro) to the A-51. After months of researching and lots of forum surfing, I couldn't resist all the accolades and purchased the A-51 unauditioned. No regrets there, I was amazed by...

                  Heard at the CES - JAMO R909
                  by oneoldude
                  The R in R909 stands for Reference. This speaker is the current flagship for Jamo. It is beautifully put together in a Danish modern sort of way.

                  Dimensions are 50.2"X19.2"X21.3". The finish is piano gloss in black, red or yellow. Speaker compliment is two custom 15"...
