a) like any forum, the success of tirnahifi is entirely dependent on discussion. All members are encouraged to participate in discussion of music, hifi, etc.
b) tirnahifi is not designed to be, nor intended to be, a marketplace. Any member who uses the site merely for selling will be looked on suspiciously.
c) those members who choose to sell on the site should be aware that the mods do keep an eye on the stuff for sale, plus the demeanour of the seller. Sometimes we may lock/delete/ban a sales thread on this basis.
d) honesty is paramount in all selling transactions. Commercial sellers who label themselves as such are accepted at the discretion of the moderating team.
e) All ads have to include information about age, price, provenance, etc.

Re: Fostex based floorstanders
That's a beautifully realised project. Well done! An awful pity you're selling/swapping them on. I built a two box valve phono stage one time and even though I seldom use it I wouldn't sell/swap it for the world.
Re: Fostex based floorstanders
Beautiful speakers, I’m not in the market, but I can appreciate the work you put into these.
A lovely job and a steal for that asking price.
Best of luck with the sale.

Re: Fostex based floorstanders
Very nice project. I have a pair here I built with some FE206 that I'm very fond of. I built the Sachiko variant, double mounted back loaded horn. Beautiful sound, very tuneful bass.
i would agree, great pricing there for someone who wants to try out a triode amp, or a low wattage amp.

Re: Fostex based floorstanders
very tempted :)
Re: Fostex based floorstanders
ooops, I may have just bought these, now to figure out a way to get them :) without incurring the wrath of the guards
Re: Fostex based floorstanders
I have only just now realised you meant the ACTUAL Guards, rather than the gatekeepers at home...!
