Old thread, but..."A local store in Charlottesville..." I spent many hours in that local store, heard a lot and bought some. Heard the full CJ SRS Synthesis system. Spicas. Early Meridian active speakers... I bought and still have the CJ SG3 turntable, although SOTA supplies my belts as the bought the design from CJ. The wood for the SG3 was constructed here in Charlottesville.I just found a pair of the LMS-210 speakers and I will probably buy them to maybe replace my little Madisound SEAS kit speakers. I run all tubes- CJ pre-amp and Assemblage/Sonic Frontiers amp- and am curious what I will find, but when the bug hit a few months ago it was started by me thinking about CJ speakers, migrated through looking at kits, old smaller Snell (I used to have a pair of original type A but once kids came along I needed the space in my house for other things), and even Bud Fried speakers. But then these LM 210s came along, so we will see.
Sonographe SL-21 speakers
I am not really asking a question on these speakers, since I may have had the only pair in the whole country. I just want to make a few comments on these fantastic little speakers.
I purchased these speakers by chance, I heard about them and drooled over them in the late 80's, but I could not afford any high end gear at that time.
After spending hours searching up and down on the internet, I couldn't find diddly-squat on these speakers, but there are no shortage of info for the Sonographe SA-120 and the SP-1, even the SG-3 is mentioned quite a bit on the net, that really makes me sick.
Anyway, the SL-21 has very attractive real oak veneer, the front and back are sloped, hence involved some time-align design, but like I said, I could not find anything on them. Even when I called C-J, the guy named Ed who handled vintage C-J equipment couldn't tell me a whole lot about them, at least Sota could tell me quite a bit about the SG-3 for crying out loud.
The SL-21 has very wide soundstage and solid bass for it's size, 6.5" woofer and 1" soft dome tweeter, and a 1" port in the front baffle, they also have very nice midrange. The speakers virtally disappear from the room while playing, that proves these speaker are well designed. During the knuckle test, I heard no cabinet echo or resonance, very solidly built, that tells me they are well damped inside.
If anyone who know about them, please charm in. These may be the only pair that left in the country, and they are not for sale.
