Seldom do I - OK Occasionally do I - OK often do I- Scream about some incredible bargain I got at Thrift Store. Be it the first Modern Lovers album for 99 cents or some Elvis picture sleeves for a quarter I sold for over $100 each, whatever.
Yesterday I came across these....
A pair of Kenwood JL - 601 floor speakers marked at $9.99 each.
I didn't really need speakers. I have a freshly re-coned set of RSL studio monitors on my main setup. Upstairs in my office/record room I'm running a Technics SL-D2 through a Kenwood receiver through some Sony bookshelf speakers. These would be too big for the room, but what the hell, they're less than an overpriced beer at a fancy ass concert venue.
So pounce I did. The clerk insisted it was $9.99 for THE PAIR. Not wanting to swindle a charity, I questioned it. They insisted this was the case. I didn't argue much further. I did, however, insist on getting the over 55 discount.
Bottom line, I have a pair of speakers too big for the room - but great sounding. I'm listening to The Ventures Play Telstar at extreme volume right now.
When my last kid moves out and we turn her bedroom into a media room, these will do quite nicely.
