The shelves are filling up nicely! I may have to stop making trips to the basement . . . nah–plenty of room!

Is this the correct thread if I've been hitting paydirt on FB Marketplace with speakers lately?
Took a good 4 hours when all was said and done, but Tuesday night's haul off of FB Marketplace from two sellers.
Acoustic Research TSW 110, $40/pair
Utah A-90, $75/pair
They're not quite cosmetically flawless, but close.
They're a little bit of an upgrade over my previous pairing of Synergistics S-22 mains and Optimus LX-7 surrounds...

I promise I'll stop buying good speakers for a bit, now. But I did find another $40 pair to round out my basement a little more, once I replace the foam.
I'm getting VU Meter envy again!
They are purdy!
Price two years ago was about 4900 dollars.
Last fall my music server computer got killed by one of Florida's famous
lightning strikes. It also took out my Marantz AV7703 Pre/Pro, and a few other smaller
items. I replaced the Marantz with an on-sale Denon X4700H and the computer was temp
replaced with an ancient tower being thrown out by a friend.
A few weeks back another friend and member here (@boondocks) generously offered me a used Gigabyte motherboard & i7 cpu. It took me a couple
weeks to get a few more pieces together but now it's up and running in my old CoolerMaster
giant tower. It's turned out to be an awesome box here, handling all my needs while holding my 12TB of SSD's and including serving up 4k video concerts & movies without a blink.
Thank God for the good people of this world.

I love computer porn. I have built a few nothing like this
What is your power supply?
Where are the LED colored lights?

Power supply is an older (2008) 700 watt unit from OCZ
No colored lights or other computer porn here, can't see anything and
only hear very little when I put the sound deadened side panels on.
Good to read this update. I've been curious how things were turning out since your electro-disaster. I can't help but wonder... did insurance pay anything? And did you lose any data or just hardware?
It seemed likely to me that @boondocks would have both the generosity and parts on hand to help you out. Good on him!
My main rig is also built into a Coolermaster Cosmos. Besides the panels being noise reducing I love how easy they slip off & back on. Good air flow. I've been through three builds with it. Your wiring is much neater than mine!

Coolermaster Cosmos goes on my shopping list. Learned something new today.....
Nope, not a penny, act of God and all that. I didn't press it anyway.
Just lost the hardware, nothing on my SSD drives thank goodness. \
@boondocks is the best, can't ask for a better friend!
They're great cases. The Cosmos line are built like tanks and will last a lifetime.
They are getting a bit pricey in todays market.
Just added a Parasound Halo a51. Really happy with it so far!
Yea, you should be. An excellent 5 channel, John Curl designed A/B capable of high power.
Congrats!

well, it's not AUDIO gear but it's equally important...and OMG is it COMFYYYYY...woke up and ,as usual I opened the shades to do dishes and make brekky and HEY, WHAZZAT IN MY PORCH? .. a HUGE BOX with my new lovely Embody chair!
And, the best thing, NO ASSEMBLY REQUIRED! Open the box and , ROLL IT OUT!...and for $1,600 -after 20% discount- I think it's rather lovely! The personI chetted with told me that , if it ever starts making any noise that they would send me a new part to replace it!
Of course , i am now sitting on it...ahhhhhhh!!!

Nice! And expensive! It's the perfect chair for listening to those few multichannel mixes where they mistakenly swapped the fronts with the rears. One of those is the DTS version of A Space In Time. The new SDE limited edition with the correct quad channel placement, new 5.1 and Atmos mixes probably sells for as much as your new chair.
