About

Skylabs is a brick and mortar store located in West Des Moines, Iowa. We specialize in HI-FI stereos and vinyl records. For those of you too far away to travel to the store- check out skylabsaudio.com Sorry, we do not sell our vintage stereo equipment on-line. Honestly, we would have no reason for a physical store if we did. Also, we do not work on gear not purchased from us. Again, the truth of it is, we do not have the staff to handle anything other than what we sell. Hope you understand, and hope you stop in if you are ever in the West Des Moines area! Thank you for watching and your interest in Skylabs! Kevin Moll

This list includes underrated gems, iconic legends, and unique designs that deliver standout sound and character. Whether you're deep into vintage hi-fi or just dipping your toes in, these speakers are all worth a listen. 👂✨ 📋 Featured Speakers in This Video: * ADS L810 – Balanced, beautifully built, and arguably the best bang for your buck in vintage audio. * Boston Acoustics A400 – Big sound with a unique wide-baffle design; perfect against-the-wall speaker. * JBL Jubal (L65) – Iconic 1970s energy with stunning treble and rich detail. * Dahlquist DQ-10 – Open-baffle look and sound that fills large rooms like few others can. * Acoustic Research AR-3a – A true legend with studio monitor vibes and synergy with vintage tube gear. 💡 What makes this list special?These speakers aren’t about hype—they’re about sound quality, build, uniqueness, and how they make music feel alive.
