Go fund me for Dr. Dave.

Watching this video makes me sad. Here we have the good Dr. showing off all his cool gear. Now, sadly in the background he has his stereo. We see the Doc has been around college students far too long. No speaker stands, no shelves for his receiver. I'm not the most tech savvy so maybe someone else can help set it up. He's retired now and probably just getting those S.S. checks
Should we help him out?

Sometimes you just find speakers that you like. I have some that sure aren't lookers, but they do sound great for pool.

A set of pair Legacy floor speakers would be a good donation. But seriously I'm using the AudioEngine pill shaped BT speaker. It blew my hairpiece off.

Billy Joel said all you need is a cheap set of speakers.

 

[couldnthinkof01]

I have 2 old sansui floor speakers with 15", 8", 6.5", and horn tweeters from '81ish collecting dust. Pioneer sx1250 for power. Shame I haven't got the basement set up yet Dave you need some boom!

Compared to me, Dr. Dave is choppin' high cotton. I don't have a "stereo" of any type in my pool room. Or anywhere in the house, for that matter. I guess maybe I could use my phone, but I don't have any music on it.

"No bar, no pinball machines, no bowling alleys, no music, just pool... nothing else. This is Banger's mister."

Waiting for video of Dave's "other stereo".

I don’t think he is old enough to be drawing SS. He’s obviously taking good care of himself…as for the speakers, well I think his priorities are in the right place.

You guys reminded me that I need to get my vintage Pioneer equipment serviced and get my old JBL L-100s out here in the pool room. Right now I’m just using a little Bose box, it’s okay, but not good by any stretch.

Edit: Dr. Dave what is your secret to good health? I’m going to guess that you are a runner, or cyclist? You are doing great, whatever it is.

I have my vintage 1969 KLH Model 5's propped up on individual IKEA Kallax boxes in my homeroom - cheap "floor stands" but get the job done (and double as storage to boot). Powered by a Pioneer SX 828 and Technics SL 1700.

Glad this was Monday humor.....I was nervous when I clicked this!

I didn't know KLH went back that far. Nice.

Dumb luck find on Craigslist. I bought both the Pioneer and KLH's for $50. The tweeters on the KLH's weren't working at the time, so I popped them open and they're stamped 1969. A simple recap on the crossover got everything working fine. That's my one and only "got this for a steal" story. Everything else (cues, stereos, vintage guitars / amps / effects) I feel like I pay 20% premium lol.

Same. I had Crutchfield on the line.

Looking at the very fuzzy shaped logo on the speaker, I am guessing it's an AR, Acoustic Research speaker, pretty good brand. What one would expect of a geek that likes to research equipment

There is also what looks like a cigar box on top of the speaker, we should make sure he is getting the right quality cigar as well! Dr Dave, what's in the house?

From what Dr. Dave has told us, he is in his upper 50s, is a cycling enthusiast, and has a good metabolism. We're probably going to have to put up with him for another 40 years or so.

Those Pioneer SX1250 receivers are awesome. They bring more now on eBay than they did back when they were new.

Can you imagine the shipping? That thing
feels like 200lbs.

It has made me not buy any receiver off of ebay. The shipping price kills the deal basically. Even if you get a good deal, the shipping / taxes erase it.
