Lots of bang for the buck on this one. And there's something cool about top loaders.
Pioneer SX-1980
This is a 1978 unit in terrific condition. I am only the second owner. I play it every day, and it sounds remarkably good -- and it is eye candy to beat the band (glass walls here at the office and this monster draws lots of sighs from men over a certain age).
Joseph Audio Pulsar
Yes, they are as good as the reviewers say (but not necessarily in every system). The sound really terrific with the vintage Pioneer, but odly, were not great on my main rig at home (with Pass x250.5, etc.). Go figure.
I purchased and am waiting delivery of the new ATC SCM19's for my home kit, and and wondering if my old ported sub will sound sloppy with the super resolving ATC's. Tell me more about the Velodyne. Would you buy the same one again if starting over?
