- The point of this video is to show you another pathway to saving money on your upgrades.
I’m planning on trading all of these speakers for something more valuable. Hopefully tower or bookshelf speakers, even subwoofers.
Here’s a list of what I have to trade:
Klipsch C-20 Center Channel
Polk CS2 Series II Center Channel
Klipsch RC35 Center Channel
Velodyne DPS3500R Subwoofer
I’m planning of trading or selling up, for better speakers or subs. Audio related only.
Should be fun to see what I can do, in six to eight weeks. Wish me luck!

Really Great Idea, I'll be hooked if it isn't a dozen episodes 'till the end. 🔈🔉🔊
Thanks! Maybe I’ll be able to turn this little pile of speakers into some Martin Logan towers. Haha
Thanks for the encouragement, my friend!
Suggestion, take it or leave it.. leave a little space at the end of your vids with an outro.. gives some time for people to hit the "like". I know I tend to hit the thumbs up at the end of vids I watch. Good luck!
I’ve had people reach out to me, volunteering to help me with an intro/outro but I just haven’t really given it much thought.
A part of me likes keeping things simple but when I go back and watch, I also think it would make my videos more professional.
I truly do appreciate the suggestion though! It’s something I’ve been thinking about:)
I have lots of systems that come and go but I keep my SVS big system and my LSIM office system. Everything else is up for grabs. Sonus Faber, Magico etc etc.
Love your videos. Keep them coming!
What kind of SVS?
@Zack Mutnik SVS Ultra Towers, Ultra 16 subs x 6, Ultra Center. Focal in ceiling, rears and sides all in wall.
As you probably know, UA-cam does have a library of royalty free music that is free of charge, but it’s not the greatest of music. There are subscription services such as epidemic sound and art list that have better options but you have to pay a monthly fee and once you end the subscription you can no longer use the music so I guess that means old videos would be blocked? I just use the music offered on UA-cam, but that is mainly for background music, I don’t do any sound demos for this very reason. 7:42
Hey man! I always appreciate your feedback, so thank you sgain for stopping by.
I’m really wanting to keep my demo music on a CD, for quality and ease of sharing. Hopefully Techno Dad can hook me up:)
Cheers, my friend!
i just found a sansui au 317 intergrated amplifier, a tu 217 tuner, and the matching cassette tape player, and top it all off a Optimus 10 band equilizer in perfect condition and i mean perfect !!!all for $500.00talk about lucked out! been looking for 2 years, it is unreal how clean the sound is!! oh i have a set of Sansui SP-X8900 speakers the one's with the 17 inch speakers in them! these are 4 way speakers! 100 decibles at 1 watt at 1 meter. cant turn past 3 or its too loud! my neighbors hate me !!
I bought some monitor audio silver after watching your video on your used find of Monitor Audio speakers! Great deal on eBay. One owner, mint condition.
Excellent! I don’t pretend to know everything but I love sharing my experiences with everyone here, in hopes that people make educated decisions, when it comes to using their cold hard cash, to upgrade their sound.
Monitor Audio has and will always be one of my favorite speaker brands.
What model did you snag?

Great job
Ivlove looking for deals but unfortunately i have the least tambor matched home theater on planet earth probably. Tambor is not the be all end all ive realized though, in fact not even close as long as your buying good speakers and not mixing horns with standard tweeters. I now have a 9.1.6 with 7 subs. Every time i add or replace a Speaker for a better one the experience gets better. I prefer doing it this way because your constantly improving sound and getting enjoyment from amazing bang for buck deals out there. Plus its boring to buy the same speakers for everything.
I hope you get the right amount of money you want or a fair barter trade.Thanks again for the content.
Hey Nana! It’s been a little slow unloading these but I’m sure someone out there is willing to trade. Hopefully sooner, rather than later:)
Cool idea. I got a great deal on an used areandal 1961 center a couple months ago. Just got a REL HT1205 on their closeout sale. Lots of great deals to be found.
I’m REALLY intrigued by Arendal. How do you like it?
I also ordered a pair of REL HT/1205 last week but I canceled my order this morning. It’s such a great deal that I almost talked myself into it but I’ve decided to keep my 1508 Predators instead, and just move things around to accommodate them.
@@blazermdx It is great compared to my Klipsch R34c. Everything sounds more natural and doesn't get shouty
Great video bro
These copy right claims suck, there is copy right free music at the UA-cam library but all of them are not good
Yeah, they sure aren’t fun. I’ve been playing audio in my videos ever since I started this channel so more than 50% of my content has been demonetized. Not the end of the world m, since I wasn’t sure the direction of the channel.
I actually reached out to Techno Dad, to see if he’d be willing to make me a copyright free CD, with a couple songs I can use. He responded so we are working things out, via email.
Thanks for the suggestion, my man!
@@blazermdx That's cool! Hopefully thing work out with TechnoDad!
Craigslist and eBay.
I don't know why you don't try to make money flipping gear. I told you about the Martin Logan Dynamo 500 sub I got but I don't know if I told you I picked it up for $50 in mint shape. It retailed for $500 as well as a pair of Castle Knight speakers (also in mint shape) that retailed for $550/pair I got for $80 and part of the reason I bought them is to flip them for a profit. I haven't sold either yet partly because i'm lazy but also because I still enjoy listening to them but you always say you sell your gear for whatever you paid but if you get a great deal, why not try to make a few bucks as well?
I have miller&kresel. Powerd sub.mx-350 THX.
MX-S-150 THX
8820 linear phase
Studio monitor
2 Marantz mono Amp
Ma 700 thx.
4 Marantz mono Amp.
MA 500. What' and were. May I sell them
Where do you store your unused gear
I sell 95% of the equipment I review locally, right after the video is published. If the equipment doesn’t end up in my system but I don’t want to sell it, it ends up in my storage unit.
I just have too many speakers and not enough room:(
I feel ya. You need a house like Zeos has otherwise in a small apt, we be swimming in gear if we dont sell
@@kcr2365 I was happy when he moved into a house. He’s still swimming in audio equipment but it’s a much better space.
If I move into a larger space, I’ll just fill it with subs and amps, so I’m not in a big rush. Haha
What do you do for a living if you don’t mind
Without getting too specific here, I’m in Real Estate. Been in this industry about 11 years now.
Nice! I hope bad state of economy doesn’t affect you. On the IT end, people losing jobs like crazy
