For anybody looking- THIS is the only pair of NHT 2.9's for sale I could find. They are in South Central... Virginia... Brodnax, VA. in particular.

Nicely done! Now, you MUST get your hands on a pair of Tekton Pendragon's. I'd really like to read your comparison to the 2.9's. Oh, and maybe some Snell's, if any surface in your area. Try using Summer Madness by Kool and the Gang as a test song. Intense bass hits and high synth notes will challenge any speaker.

The search for used should start with https://www.hifishark.com/. Although I would consider new... not a lot of people wish to part with Tekton speakers.

The relays on the speaker terminal board SP-508 are in need of replacement, no doubt, along with a plethora of electrolytic caps, plus R635 needs to be 3.3KΩ 1W. Spend the time to check for shorted or open caps! Fix the main amp board MA-508A first, then the smaller boards. Leave the main tuner board TIM-510A and Noise Reduction board CNR-527D for last. Give the two switches for TAPE functions on FEQ-508A a good shot of DeoxIt.

$1500. Kinda pricey for me at the moment.

Set up my bedroom system, SoundStream System 1, DA-1, C-1, T-1 with Sony CDP-X33ES disc player. For speakers, I decided on playing a pair of ADS L730's I've had kicking around for about 10 years. Ugly! Someone rolled tan paint on them in the past. I sanded them and did a quick gloss black spray paint to them. Damn, it sounds really, really good. ADS speakers really defined my speaker direction, soft dome tweeters and mids. To me, just right! Then, I come across a pair of 910's, monster ADS speakers, just a few miles from here, same guy I bought the Snell D's I brought to CarverFest 18. I really want them, but no place to put them! Those are 10" woofers!

Oppo. Don't look back.

I'm good for 4 in 2XL men's T's, 2 in charcoal heather, two in purple.

WHAT? What did you say? Didn't quite catch that...

Just say NO to anything that looks like these.

Most PA speakers are made for sound reinforcement, a whole different set of parameters than for home stereo. I've tried to adapt many, just never could get them to sound right. Tend to be "Shouty", in your face, because you are too close. Now, if your listening room happens to be 150' on a side, go for it! I had Klipsch LaScala's that sounded their best from 1/4 mile away. While I was in a rowboat, on a lake. Deep Purple, Smoke on the Water, really nice!

Which JBL's?

I have been on the speaker search for over 20 years. Owning almost all of the popular ones by Klipsch, Infinity, JBL, Polk, AR, KEF, Mission, Mirage, Carver, ADS, Realistic, Bose, Magnapan and many many more. Sometimes I've had multiples of each. Several years ago I settled on one brand, Snell. Quite happy was I for a long time. Last year I was intrigued by a newcomer, Tekton. Bought a pair of Pendragons and haven't looked back. What did my journey teach me? I do not like ribbons nor horns very much, but truly enjoy soft domes. If you can say something similar, try the Tekton's. Truly a great design. Vintage is no longer a good word to put with speakers in my book.

Bit long in the tooth...

DD- Welcome! There is a world of difference in upgrading those two fine Carver's. You will not be disappointed! Enjoy the music.

Nice to see someone put in this kind of effort. I've given up on making speaker cabinets for the foreseeable future. Low power, single driver stuff just not doing it for me anymore. Amazing sound quality when it's right, no doubt rewarding. Enjoy!

Polk monitor series are always worth buying cheap. I’ve had about 20 pairs. RT and RTA are fine as well. RT-35’S make great test bench speakers. I still own six.

PWK would be proud, Rod!

Exactly!

Highly unlikely!
