the complaint ?,,, (the diaphragms were sent without marked polarity....) that is the dumbest thing I've read. At worst this might be a neutral feedback. i don't remember the diaphragms coming with + and - marks. i guess you have to factor in the moron level as of late.

These days it is a full time job to suffer no fools.
In the early days of ebay anybody could leave a feedback comment for anybody else, no transaction necessary.
To date, nice tits! is still perhaps my favorite, classy, etiquette born, ebay feedback comment. ;)
was looking at ebay a while back,
a small fact jumped out. (in a sidebar)
the number one vintage speaker, on ebay -
"Radio Shack Minimus 7 speakers"

Not surprised, even this jaded 'hornie' owns a black pair fresh from the loading dock at introduction and arguably the best bang/buck consumer audio component I've ever owned and currently doing duty as a stereo pair for my TV.
Need caps, but otherwise sound fine to all who hear them. Good fun factor too with them currently mounted flush to the sides of the 511s [apparently somewhat adding a bit of metal horn 'color'] as some folks are 'awed' by how impressive the Altecs sound! :Can't belive it:
Oh well, probably being sincere from folks raised on Walkman and/or cell phone music.

the minimus capacitors,
are 4.7 mf.
i have about 15 pair,
and a few individuals.
on audiokarma,
one guy called them,
"2/3's, of an ok speaker"
a bargain, for sure.

Up to the end of their production probably more M7's were sold than all the rest of Foster/Fostex models. I must have procured 5 or 6 pair over the course of my family's ownership of associate franchise B-204.
In more recent years Fostex has offered some active monitors that are very similar to M7's in form, but probably take it up a notch with their sound in the PM0.3 and PM0.4. Also offer a matching active subwoofer.
Actually put a pair on a boat. It was fun while it lasted.
I'm hoping the PIO caps out of a tube TV are still 'good enough'; if not, may use motor run if cheap enough.Quote:
