We just got a contract on our house and are moving. The buyers want us to replace the speakers I have on the back wall. I am not giving them my WSM xls's, but I will replace them. I have a pair of Ref 0.5's and ELT525 monitors. Which pair would you keep?

Hopefully some TCA products in the near future! -
I'd keep the ELT's definitely. Put the REF's up. They were a fine speaker but I thought the ELT's were much more refined. I had a set of them, my father in law has a set, they're fantastic speakers. Not very efficient but a very smooth overall sound. Plus I've heard this Ninja dude makes awesome upgrades for them :D

Thanks Skeeter. I was thinking the refs since I don't have any, but I hooked up the ELTs to a spare receiver and cranked 'em a little and they sounded much better than powering with the gizmo. Good to hear from you. It's nice to see familiar people over hear. I need to visit much more than I do.Hopefully some TCA products in the near future!Comment

Know anyone that wants a pair of original ELT LRC's and P/BS in rosewood. Still have a nice matching set here for a good home.Better living through Audio Nirvana!Comment

Yeah those are REF's but not the REF REF's. I think the top end on the ELT's is much more refined on those than on the .5's.Originally posted by alembic
This is pretty much where I peruse, and AC. The old crew got pretty split up the last couple years ...

That's a great setup! You have both fronts and center plus the PBS' or just the fronts with the PBS'?Originally posted by HAL

Skeeter, got the pair of 0.5's a little while ago. Man, I didn't know they were so small. I thought they would have been about the size of the ELT's. Hooked 'em up briefly and think I will keep the ELT's for sure. I like my bass and the 0.5's didn't have much. They sure are purty! I hate to have to screw in the bottom of these to mount them, not unless anyone has any suggestions on a different way.Hopefully some TCA products in the near future!Comment

Yeah those .5's really are small for sure! Good to hear my old memory of the .5's and ELT's still stands, its been a while since I'd heard the .5's. They definitely are pretty though. AV123 sure did put out great looking speakers ...Originally posted by alembic
For mounting, what about strapping them down? Would that work or are they pretty angled?Comment

Can't find a link, but I've seen mounts that clamp the bottom of the speaker sans screws.Originally posted by alembicComment

The mounts I have are pretty angled, probably close to 35-40 degrees. I think I can only screw into the bottom of the speaker. Oh well, they won't be mine after they are up and plus it's on the bottom and if they ever take 'em down you won't see the holes! I guess I should pre-drill the holes and screw into the speaker gently.Hopefully some TCA products in the near future!Comment

I would predrill then take out the woofer ands bolt them into place with machine bolts. 1/4-20 should be plent big enough. I wouldn't trust mdf to hold ..,Originally posted by alembic

Too late! I pre-drilled small and put the screws in snug and made sure not to overtighten. I think they will hold at least until after we move. They seem to be very secure, I don't think there will be enough vibration up there to do anything from those speakers. I surely wouldn't hang the x-ls's that way!Hopefully some TCA products in the near future!Comment

Oh well if they fall before you move you'll know I was right and if they fall after then you'll never find out and it won't matter anyway. Haha!Comment

We will see!:fingerscrossed:Hopefully some TCA products in the near future!Comment
