Snell Type JIII speakers with original stands - $350/pr.

 The original Vifa M21WN-07-04 woofers were refoamed by yours truly using the Euro kit from Simply Speakers. 

For more details, please read my three part series covering restoration + thoughts on these classics. 

I probably would've settled with these speakers driven by an EL34 amp (see below 😊) if I didn't get into Altecs and SE amps.

Full disclosure: one unit has a slight blemish at the rear bottom corner.

Watch the Snell JIIIs play Lou Donaldson driven by my Choke-Capacitance Coupled SE300B mono blocks.😊

Music Reference RM9 Amplifier - $1,750 or your best offer!

This is a very clean sample of Roger Modjeski's classic Music Reference RM9 dual channel power amplifier from the early 90s. The push-pull parallel EL34 (4 per channel) output pentodes were factory wired as triodes driven by 4 x 6DJ8 (2 per channel) input tubes. I measured 35 watts per channel before visible clipping and idle current is very stable at 2 amps, an indication of healthy capacitors.

Although the amp looks great with the tubes exposed, it also comes with the original cage.

I'm located in the Philadelphia metro area and willing to demo to those who express serious interest! 

Since I don't have the original packing materials for these components, cash + local sale only. 

Please leave me a message in the comment section with your email. It won't be published and I'll reply to you directly. 

I'm always on the lookout for classic Altec drivers, vacuum tubes, chokes, SE OPT and power transformers, idler driven turntables, tonearms, etc.

Let me know what you have. Maybe we can work out a trade.
