Actually none taken - I agree with you, but I am not a fan of very heavy bass. The bass on S45-2s is very accurate but rolls off at just below 40Hz quite rapidly. I must pull mine out again and compare them to my M100s!

I wish I kept my pair of S45.2's as they are much more pleasant to listen to compared with the S75's that has a very "rumbling" bass and shrill highs that quickly leads to listening fatigue. It would be ideal to have them placed more than 2-3 feet from the wall, but I don't have that much space (and I doubt I will for the next few years as a poor student)

P45s are the answer! Excellent sound and take up no space!

Thanks for all the great advice.

I ended up picking them up for a little under $200. On the high side perhaps, but I've been having trouble finding a pair in good cosmetic condition in the US. Was within my budget so I'm pleased.

Looking forward to getting these going.

I also found some original, unopened stands for £25. Cost about the same to shop them to the US, but again, these were hard to locate in the US.

Cheers.

Hi again,

Looking for some advice to make another s45-2 purchase for a friend.

These have come up on eBay. Do the woofers look original? They seem to be lighter in color than others I've seen.

Is there anyway to tell from these photos?

Yes, they look original. Sold a pair yesterday🙂

They don't look like mine.  Look closer to my M70s, though obviously the S45-2 is 8" and the M70 is 10".
