    Clearing out some things I’m not using and since I’ve gotten great prices here I’m paying it forward. Prices are for friends and contributors.

    I built this LXMini last year when I was looking for a project and I’ve enjoyed them for what they are but I found a good local deal for some Forte IIs and they’ve displaced them for my listening. I painted them green and they’ve sustained some chipping but I’ll touch that up. The biggest issue with them is that there is a dent on one of the drivers. I’m keeping the miniDSP unless I get a nice offer for it. Asking for $450 with local pickup in Boston, or I can meet someone halfway within 300 miles. I’d rather not ship because I have no idea how well this would fare.

    I also have a 3M Cardas Cross cable for the HD6X0. I like how it feels but it’s single ended and all the amps I care to use here are 4 pin only. Selling elsewhere for $149 but will sell for $99 shipped here for friends and contributors.

    And the last thing for now is something more for team vintage: a Peerless PMB85 Double Action. This is a Jecklin-derived frame with two dynamic drivers on each side. It took me over 10 years to find one and now that I have it…I never use it. I’ve been using it as a decoration piece but I realized I’d rather buy actual pieces of decoration for my apartment. Selling for $199 shipped SOLD obo which is what I ended up paying for this after shipping from Europe twice. I’d rather not dip too low because at some price point I’d rather have it around for laughs but if there’s anyone in Team Sturzhelm still around that is interested, make an offer. Alternatively, if people just want to hear it and make fun of it I’m also cool with just doing a tour.

    Also listing Radian 850 compression drivers. Bought these for a project but ran into a pair of Klipsch Fortes locally that I’m happy enough with. Info here: https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/swap-meet/369350-radian-research-850-compression-drivers.html I can take more pictures for those interested. I listed for $300 on DIYA and since I used these for an hour I don’t want to lose much but can cover CONUS shipping for SBAF friends and contributors or sell for $275 plus shipping for international Friends/contributors.

    One more addition: a DIY Tortuga LDR3V2 purchased from this listing: https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/swa...diy-ldr-controllers-displays-buffers-etc.html. The morning after I paid for this I bought an Exogal Comet+ and the volume control in that is good enough for me so this can go to someone else who has more of a use for it than me. It’s ugly but works fine and includes an Apple remote and the firmware update board. Selling for $200 shipped SOLD for Friends and Contributors, everyone else pays shipping.

    Quick pic to show it turns on, can take more if requested.

    Can you fix the dent with the tape trick?

    edit: did a quick googling, here's a video I found of it: (skip to 2:35)

    Yes it is! I’ve been meaning to write a more in depth thing about this but I haven’t been too motivated to write anything more than what I wrote there.


    I’ve tried that and unfortunately since it’s an aluminum cone I think it’s less workable because nothing I’ve done to try to remove it has changed anything. If I could attack it from the back that might do the trick but I’m too worried about doing further damage.

    EDIT: added Radian 850 drivers

    Tortuga and Peerless headphone sold, feel free to make offers or local (MA/CT/maybe beyond area) trades for the speakers, open to price offers for the cable and drivers.
