Beveridge speakers-does anyone still use them?

oooh You know how to hurt a guy but thanks for your congratulations! Bob

I just got back from the hospital for a quick shower. I would like to thank everyone for their responses of Congratulations. Brian would you mind telling Karl since I haven't had time to contact him. Bob

Baby hasn't come yet but the posts have been great. Viridian,thanks for the update on speakers that you have seen for sale. 76doublebass, I would love to hear properly set-up model 2's today. I have been told there are a number of pairs still floating around the Chicago area.

My wife is now days beyond her due date without being in labor. This is hard to take. Thanks for all the posts. Bob

Unbelievable but I am not a dad yet. My poor wife is now 5 days past her due date. They say that they will induce next friday now if she does't give birth. Thanks for all the interesting posts of these venerable speakers. I have been using Apogee Scintillas which are another legendary speaker. They have such good resolution that it is hard to imagine them being bettered although some with electrostatics claim it so. What I love about them is that they get the midrange right and have the power in the bass that most electrostats can only dream about. I haven't heard Brian's U-1's yet so that may change my entire audio landscape. I have used the esl-57's and have always loved their naturalness. I also have used the Acoustat 3 which was my first taste of high end. Another contemporary speaker that I would love to hear is the MBL 101e. The problem with this hobby is that one can only have so much equipment! Thanks again Bob

Thanks for all the posts. My daughter was finally born last night...8 days late. Mother and daughter are doing fine...not so sure about the father!! Bob

I have brought back this old thread and my daughter who was just being born is now 3! I now have the Beveridge 2sw speakers and I really enjoy them. I was wondering if anyone could comment on the differences between this speaker and the original model 2. I realize that the 2sw has more volume and bass. I remember hearing in the past people saying the original model 2 was even better than the later 2sw. Has anyone made the comparison? Bob

Just for fun I thought I would update this 10 year old thread. I just showed my daughter who turned 10 this week this thread. I have Beveridge 2's in my living room and they make beautiful music!. I hope everyone has a great Labor Day Weekend.

Ebm he must be the original owner! Has he used them for the past 40 years? What version of the Bev's does he have?

Roxy, the Beveridge 2 and 2SW's are self powered by their self contained OTL direct drive amplifiers. The speaker actually sits on top of the amplifier. The amplifier is the base of the speaker.

Rrledford, I have a friend with a bad panel that would probably be interested in a couple.

Nkj who refurbished your Model 3's?

My daughter just turned 12 and is nearly 5'5" and the Beveridges are still singing! Time has really flown by! Hope everyone involved with hurricanes this weekend stays safe and sound. 

Just showed this thread to my daughter who is now 14! She laughed as I read some of the posts to her.  I am enjoying the Beveridge 2's during the pandemic! Lucky to have both my Beveridges and daughter (and rest of the family) to help with being isolated at our house in Illinois. Be safe and don't be AudioGONER (even though many say this is a dying hobby!)
