Current vintage audio stuff for sale in Vancouver

My collection is pretty good and deep right now and I need to sell a few gems.

Speakers for sale from  my collection:

EPI 100V, Classic old school speaker fully refurbished with Solen caps, how they should have made it originally.
Absolute pristine condition. $150.00. Stands not included.

SOLD



Celestion Ditton DM110, Great British loudspeaker, made even better with new Solen Caps. Excellent sound stage made even better post upgrade. Stands not included $120.00. Grills in perfect condition.



Camber 2.5 Speakers, A well made Canadian classic that can rival an Energy 22. Super deep bass for a 7 inch woofer and a perfect sound stage image. Mirror imaged and an exceptional build quality. $120.00 stand not included. Grill in perfect condition.

SOLD




Well matched Rotel RX-830 receiver with a pair re capped Mission 700 Leading Edge speakers with Solen caps. I can not say enough about these two pieces together, you would swear the musicians are right in front of you. $200.00 gets you on the road to great vintage sound.








Aurex SA-5000, Same as the Toshiba SA-5000. 50 watts per channel of Direct Coupled goodness. Seriously well built amp from when Toshiba was at their best in home audio/visual. Toshiba is not as well known but made exceptional products in the 80's. $120.00





JVC R-S33 Receiver, second from the top of the line, this JVC receiver is a strong 40 watts per channel that runs "Class A" amp with "Class B", like a hybrid. The best in design and aesthetics from JVC in the 80's. $120.00

Camber 2.5 Speakers


This wonderful pair of Camber 2.5 speakers showed up today, this is the second time have owned a pair of Camber speakers. The first pair was a set of Camber 3.5's prior to starting this blog. The bigger brother with 8" woofers.

Camber 2.5's are a 2 way speakers with an 6.5" woofer and a Vifa T-27D tweeter, these are built to rival perhaps Paradigm 7SE's, if not at least the 5Se in the early to mid 80's. They may even compete against the Mission speaker line during that time.

These speakers sound absolutely wonderful, the ported design compliments the 6.5" woofer as the bass is tight and full. In fact I am in awe at how much bass is coming from the diminutive woofer. The mid range is a little laid back but extremely smooth and the Vifa tweeters hit all the highs without any hints brashness, these Vifa tweeters are good.


The build quality of the cabinets and mid bass driver is outstanding. The Bextrene woofer has rubber surrounds that will last for years.

I am super excited to have these speakers again in the rotation as they look as good as they sound.

Any time Camber or Rega Camber speakers appear in a thrift store or Craigslist they are well worth picking up, they are that good.

These Camber speakers remind me of the Paradigm Control Monitors that graced my presence.
