Is there anyone out there who knows anything about Essence Speakers by Dale Pitcher?
I just stumbled on a set of Essence speakers and I’ve been trying to identify them. I posted a discussion about them already but I’ve included a picture of them. I know very little about speakers but they looked and felt very high end so I bought them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot. https://i.ibb.co/njNFxHh/3-D97166-B-536-A-4-A0-E-A597-64-A686543982.jpg |
It is odd that the sides are covered in speaker fabric, Dale loved to use glossy finished exotic woods for his cabinets. I would need to know the dimensions of the speakers and see a photo of the connections. Also using a flashlight carefully try to determine how many speakers are in the units. From the pic they could be Topaz Subs or early Topaz 6 or Amethyst 30 but I need dimensions to be sure. |
And to all who have responded to my first inquiry I truly appreciate your contributions to the discussion. And to mre28m5 thank you for sharing your information. I was never introduced to the speakers you mentioned nor John Wright. I followed up on your comments and read up on both the speakers and Mr Wright. I seemed so have missed much in the years gone by. There are so many wonderful vintage pieces of equipment lost and unappreciated out there. |
I have known Dale Pitcher since the early 1990's. My entire 2 channel main system is made by Dale. Preamp, amps, external crossovers, speakers, interconnects, speaker cables. All of my components were his top of the line. His stuff is incredible. He was truly an electronic genius. He was always very eccentric but unfortunately he went off the deep end about 6 years ago with a psychotic break. He is of course now out of business and unreachable. A guy who sold his stuff for 25 years is Duane Randleman, who is now with Automated Lifestyles in Bettendorf, Iowa. He is very knowledgeable about Dale components. And he even makes great speaker cables, interconnects, and power cords using a lot of Dale's principles. |
