Well! I consider myself a lucky bugger. Dad has asked me (well, maybe I kind of ENTHUSIASTICALLY offered) to put together a better sounding replacement to his ailing boom-box POS.

I’ve been searching high and low for the best deal I could find… best performance to buck ratio… and I think I’ve found it! I found (and acquired) a pair of Energy Connoisseur C-2s for $60!

Now, the cabinets are scratched and one of the grills needs to have the cloth replaced (which I will take care of) but sonically these are excellent! My audio testing (both before purchase and then with my own receiver at home) revealed no issues. Circa 1996 these speakers sold for over $700 a pair. Here’s a review from Please Login or Register to see the link.. I think they’re a steal.

I’ve removed the sticky tape residue and given the cabinets a polish to look a little better. Once I get the grill cloth replaced I’ll be able to send these to Dad.

All I need now is a receiver to go along with…
