QUOTES (Google search):
"Fishers new DCS-M44 ($899) has completely separate components, is rated 22 watts -per -channel and has a 7 band equalizer. Today's bookshelf systems simply deliver great sound. They are the maximum minis."
Price comparison, from the same brochure:
"The JVC UX-1($599) uses Active Hyper -Bass circuitry to pump a big sound from a small system.
Pioneer also has a full line of minis, ranging from the CCS-530 ($1,150) to the CCS-330 ($725).
Yamaha's YST-NC1($799) and YST-99CD ($399) have Active Servo Technology (AST) to get top sound from small speakers.
Proton's new attractive mini system is the Al -3200 ($799)."
***********************************************************************************
Local buyer much preferred (cash on pickup); e-transfer is possible, but unpredictable, takes from 1min to 30 min waiting to go through, depending on bank, time of the day and day of the week.
I will ship in Canada if paid by Interac e-transfer, packed nicely with PP foam/styrofoam, insured and tracked.
Shipping costs without the speakers: $39 ON/QC, $52 to Alberta.
Shipping costs with the speakers: $57 ON/QC, $72 to Alberta.
Pickup or shipping only, no deliveries.
I've been collecting vintage stereos for a long time, so trades for old receiver, amplifier, CD player, speakers, equalizer, tape deck, turntable in any condition will be considered.
