Acoustat Speakers
« on: November 10, 2011, 01:38:43 pm »
Greetings Forum members,
Does anyone have a set of Acoustat speakers which I may listen to?
Failing which, is there someone with a faulty set of these speakers he/she wishes to get rid of (in other words) sell.
I thank you in advance

Mike

Acoustat "3", 30 yrs young playing like a charm (to my ears). Your profile doesn't say where you are?

Very true. But even at less-than full potential, they sound magnificent.
I hope to know soon what FW-F5 and Geco-NAC200 will be able to do with them.

@ fdlsys,

My apologies, I am in Centurion, so a trip to Randburg will work for me.

This saturday I will be attending the DIY expo thing and I hope to meet Rudi there and maybe if you are going to be there I will meet you too and we can then arrange for a listen at a time which will suit you.
Thanks again, can't wait for my ears to absorb the sweet sounds of your Acoustats

Please make sure everyone there takes out at least three subs each. I have a hungry cat to feed.

Thanks for what? It was an absolute pleasure and you know that you are welcome any time my friend!

Heehheee - I warned you. Remember, I had Maggies (Francois, reading this?) before the Acoustats. Once I got used to the sound of Acoustats and learned to live with the 10x10cm sweet spot (1 week), and after that compared them to Maggies, Maggies got folded away...

@Andrew - Darn! There goes my plan of bringing my pet hamster with!

No, bring it - we can have an auction to raise more money. I won't be there, I'll be down South at the yard being scorched by the sun, but I think Joel is coming through.
