Beveridge speakers-does anyone still use them?


I have owned or listened to many vintage classic speakers. I have never heard these speakers. About 15 years ago I almost bought a pair of the model 2's. What are your reaction to these speakers? Are they still available used? How would they compare to modern electrostatic speakers like Soundlabs and Martin Logans? Could they operate today without significant restoration? I have heard that the manufacturer's son is remanufacturing these speakers at nosebleed prices.

Today is the due date for my wife to give birth to our child (no labor yet!)so I am looking for something to distract me! Any distractions welcome! Bob

Roger Modjeski of Music Reference was very involved with the design and manufacture of the Beveridge speakers. I'm sure he can aid anyone needing help with any of them.
Rrledford, I have a friend with a bad panel that would probably be interested in a couple.
I have Beveridge system 2 speakers and I would like to get the panels from you. You can reach me at rjkemp@bellsouth.net
I have now gathered more info about by ser of six (6) Beveridge panels.
Though they were removed from a set of 2SW speakers, they were not the original panels of those speakers, which in fact had been rebuilt using the later "circiut board" style panels. Their H-V amps had been accordingly modified to the lower voltage 3.2 Kv level of these panels, and the crossovers of the 2SW set was modified to match them.

Based on what I now have learned, it is my understanding is these these circuit board style panels are a proper match to the later Model 5, Model and perhaps some other models that used the 3.2Kv level of voltage and have the correct frequency match for proper crossover performance.

These should also be drop-in replacements for any model 2SW units that have already had the H-V 3.2 Kv adjustments previously done to their amps.
