Very Nice, cabinets are in beautiful shape wonder what they will go for, they are quite rare.
Not quite as interesting, but good starter set?

Would really love to have a pair of the passive three way crossovers from the 9861's, 1200hz & 8000hz.
Seems 1200hz is a little steep for 411-8A's.
These are pretty interesting to me too for selfish reasons. I want to know what 288B's are going for these days....:D

1200 seems extremely steep for a 411. That speaker had me scratching my headQuote:

How 101 can you get...................

These were one of the things the Japanese market wanted. The 902-8A with 811B would be much better replaced with a large format driver (say, a 288 w/511E),IMHO, if it would fit. The cabinet is probably not deep enough without cutting the backboard for the driver (sans early 846's w/ 804/806 & 811). A 500 or 800hz crossover seems fitting for the 411 in the 9861, as in the 873A Barcelona. Maybe the horn load yielded some civilization for 1200hz.Quote:

In his ebay add "one is not responding". Any idea what might be wrong with it? I can't find any specific specs on what's inside to "have it gone through" at GPA. I'm about a 90 minute drive from him and was considering buying them.Quote:

Best case? Bad input jack.Quote:

Bear in mid the horn adds a lot to the mid bass.
Maybe as much as 6 dB.
I'd like to see curves and charts.

Hmmm...I thought the 288B's could be modified by GPA to use an updated 'phragm.Quote:

Yup that's exactly what happened for the life of me I can't understand Why??? people bid on shit they never intend on paying for.:rolleyes:
Because ebay went out of their way to make it possible by removing seller's ability to post negative feedback for deadbeat bidders.Quote:
I can't understand Why???
In the old days you could review a bidders feedback and if they had very many negatives for bidding and NOT paying, you were privy to these bidders' potential failure to perform and could block them from bidding on your auction. It was a more level playing field and did much to encourage bidders to follow thru if they wanted to continue to do business on ebay.
Now, just like in the country as a whole, it's a deadbeat free for all.

I think that many probably do intend to pay when they place the bid, but after a little time the reality and/or remorse kicks in. There are a lot of compulsive folks out there who get caught up in the bidding, their compulsion writes checks their account can't cash.
That's why they have no business being there in the first place.When you take into account that the seller then has to go through eBay to get refunds for final sale price and such and relist more insertion fees refunds it is a PIA for the seller.All my feedbacks say the same thing Quick Payment,Fast payment,Great Communication,etc.. I take pride in maintaining a 100% positive feedback on eBay or anywhere or with anyone for that matter.Quote:

As do probably 99.9% of the regular contributors on this and similar forums. Problem is, that all of us added together only present a very small minority of the general public.Quote:

IMO&E, there's never been a more widespread sense of entitlement among the general public than what we're living in now. But, maybe my views are skewed.
Maybe a Smidgen, ;) :D But on things that cost a lot of money I just think people should refrain if they can't afford it, if they feel the need to bid go to the dollar store do they have one of those on eBay they seem to be everywhere these days, anyway they can bid all day long and still feel that they are in the game.;)Quote:
