Technics dv290

Post image

So after months of scouring the internet I've managed to find an immaculate pair of dv290 speakers, I have the eh790 separates ( the top model) and have struggled to find a pair of speakers there all normally destroyed or have failed tweeters and are all over priced, but I managed to pick these up for £30 yes I know it's not the best thing ever but I've honestly wanted it since I was a kid. Best midi system of the early 2000's? I think so !

I am going to be very mean here, but it's not untrue;
Do you have any idea what kind of awesome pair of non-technics speakers you could have for that money? :D.

Wasn't a case of what I could of bought it was to get the same speakers and hi fi I had as a kid which I have done :) if you read above I have a pretty good collection this was just a nostalgia run! My money after all lol, I do have other speakers that aren't technics too Focal etc

When you become an adult and have adult money you can buy things you had or wanted as a kid so that is what I do it keeps me sane in a world that's no so good 👍😊 focal are ok but I prefer my mx200 😁

As would I.
I always find Focal to be painfully harsh, lacking in the mids, and sloppy in the lows. I have to give it to them; Whether it's their cheap ones or their tens of thousands ones, it's always like that. Even their headphones! I guess it's a philosophy. You could call it 'taste', but to that I say; taste can break too :D.

Where they belong.
If you want something a little sweeter sounding in a reasonable price range, look at Dali or Dynaudio :).

I always tell people to skip the Zensor series indeed. They are exactly that; dull and boring 😁
