White M70 speakers installed........

[eldorado]

quality work

 

[Superduper]

melly that m70 looks way cool certainly better than all the rest i have seen whats an rx7700 hope its not the box i had as it sounded way shiat

Melvin was listening to my RX-7700 when he last visited and he/I both agree it's one sweet sounding box, possessing a warmth and depth of sound clearly lacking on most boomboxes.

"total hijack"

Norm the m90 speakers are 6 ohms i once had a pair rated at 3w and they were origionals so go figure.

skippy had one of ira's he also wasnt keen so im not sure what to think, it certainly diddn't come close to the m90, also redbenjoe said to me the sanyo 920 sounded better than the 7700 and while i dont think the sanyo is the best box

 

[redbenjoe]

tim -- LOTS of boxes sound better than the 7700 at LOUD volumes --
but -- its as CLEAR as my sennheisers at lower volumes --

so its hard to compare

anyway --this is all fftopic: fftopic:

 

[Radio raheem]

ira yes it was clear at low volumes but the FACT remains the sanyo920 sounds better and the m90 is in a different legue

 

[redbenjoe]

YOU are in a different league

 

[Radio raheem]

ira it's all good thing is if the 7700 had sounded good i wouldn't have given it away and i would have had it repaired but i wasn't gunna spend a fortune on a red herring.

... ...and Sennheisers are my headphone of choice as well...both over the ear and in ear nothing else comes close...

whats this pick on me week i have had headphones like grado 1's get a pair then you will know what headphones sound like

 

[Superduper]

Ira, Tim is not hearing you. Maybe his modded M90 is too loud, 20% distortion and all. You need to speak English through your sennheisers!

Melly lets just say there not headphones for boomboxes there like $1000 headphones for real gear the ones you have are prolly best for boomers

 

[Master Z]

Great assessment Superdupe!
Love the insight. Boomboxes vs HiFi are apples to oranges as usual and I love em both!
And again melly good job on them speakers! What paint did you use?

 

[monchito]

wow that together with a case color change nice job

...I have a set of studio quality Sennheisers that I plug into my Denon reciever when I want to hear audiophile quality music. I don't use headphones on my boomers. But I will try the phones you suggested, the price doesn't bother me. I paid $1400 for my Sennheiser HD800's so paying $1000 would be a bargain. You can't put a price on quality. I will do some research on headphones and get back to you....and by the way the Grado GS1000's are far superior to the R1's. This would be a good general chat subject....what are the best audiophile quality headphones regardless of price??

...I used Ceramcoat acrylic paint. It is water based and easy to use. I thinned the paint for easier use and a smooth even coat.
