    New Arrivals - Aiwa Sharp Crown

    Crown CSC-850 My first Crown. Arrived from Germany with top corner at handle cracked. Poorly packed despite my emphasis on packing procedure. Been repaired now by member James, but not the same as before obviously. She sounds beautiful though and now is fully functional. Aiwa TPR-990...

    Has it ever been determined?

    no adam -- there are just to many ' cross-over ' sizes - like the crown 850 or the m70 are " big middies " and the are some very oversized minis - and there are ' mico-minis etc etc

    Is there any way to "preserve" metal trim?

    But some of it is clearcoated already. Like the top plates on Crown 850's, they are clearcoated but they end up turning yellowish or stained for some reason.

    Reviewed....Lasonic 920

    ...dubstep......get a 920. Overall, if you want to know what other boxes it sounds like, I'd say it sounds similar to a Bolt Box, or a Crown 850. All 3 of those boxes have very good low-volume bass, in similar amounts. In terms of the tweeters, the 920's are the loudest. In terms of overall...

    My Collection, so long

    ...one of them to a good friend. And this is my second GF-767. I bought it for 200€. The outer woofers are blown. I bought today some GF-525 woofs. I hope, they fit. And the screw posts are fubared with glue. I hope, i can fix that. I also got a second Crown 850 and a Sony CFS 77, but no pics.

    Magnavox d8443 sound

    ...than Europe or the US to find good boxes. In the US you would pay $350-400 for an M70 in good shape. Personally I would look for a Crown 850, it's got better bass than the Magnavox. Only average build quality though. If you want something that sounds good AND has top-notch build quality...

    Hello Boomboxeryers

    ...if you think it sounds great, you ain't seen nothing yet :-D, I thought so first as well, but it's just nothing compared to a JVC M70 or Crown 850. It's also my smallest one :lol: , but I like it for sentimental reasons. Missing all the levers but one though.. Good luck with the collection...

    What's The Furthest Distance You've Carried Your Grail-Box?

    ...with public transportation, train rides and all. The longest walking distance was probably about 2 miles. The other boxes I mostly carry around are my Crown 850 and my M70. I had those with me on several journeys as well, but I don't think I carried them any further then 2 miles without a stop.
