Seller sent an unsolicited offer on this for €260 (was in my watch list)- not bad for what it is. He may take a counter offer- but I haven't tried it as I am flush in divers.

Nothing too exciting, I want to get a system to play background level music in the kitchen. The problem is we have floor to ceiling cabinets, and don't want to give up counter space. In-ceiling is not an option as it is the ground floor of a two story house. The space above the cabinets is sheet-rocked and there is enough space for 5" speakers. Not ideal placement near the ceiling, but I think I will put in a pair of lcr in-wall speakers with dual 5" drivers mounted horizontally. I am leaning towards these Klipsch speakers, partly because they have aimable tweeter that could be pointed down towards the listening area.

Lots of compromises going on here because of the limitations of the space. Still trying to figure out what I want to use for an amp and dac. The source will be a Raspberry Pi computer with a bunch of flaac files ripped from CDs. Target budget is around $1000.

My regular system is a pair of Dali Zensor 7s driven by a Cambridge Audio amp. So more of a laid back British sound. The Klipsch would be a bit different, but the high efficiency will allow more flexibility in amp choice.

 

Funky one in the UK with a nice ETA. Could stay low but who knows. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353241534253Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

Anyone know anything about Foresta? https://www.ebay.com/itm/143802774203Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

Just saw that- anyone here?

 

Here’s a quick shot of the movement in mine. Looks high quality finish of fairly standard caliber. Others more knowledgeable will no doubt contribute. I really like this model a lot....

 

Do you see any calibre reference to do a cross check on ranft?

 

Seller says serviced and ready to roll. Read description.

It is funky but I checked out Carronade. It’s a brand of Ratner’s jewellers. Some might remember that several years ago founder Gerald Rayner committed corporate harakiri by announcing on TV that his products were crap.

 

For those interested in the Technos Skylight I did a post on Chronopedia here....https://chronopedia.club/Technos_Sky_Light
More information on these wanted - lets make that page the go-to ref for these great watches (but hold on till I get a black dial one first!)

 

Reminds me of an old Seinfeld stand up routine about brands ending in “a”

 

Foresta is a german brand based in "Pforzheim" near "Stuttgart" also known for his own "Förster (FB) "calibers.





BTW Ranfft should change their main colour, this pink hurts so much

 

You and @Professor need to join forces.
