Another fine speaker of my past that I do not see for sale, ever, the Sonus Faber Extrema / matching stands. Required a large muscle amp to get them going.

ESS Super Quad---the original Quad ESL as midrange driver, RTR ESL tweeters, and a KEF B139 woofer in a transmissionline enclosure. Not many made and sold in the early-mid 70's. The Fulton "J" loudspeaker, a modular design achieving superb transparency and very full-range extension. It, like the ESS Super Quad, had the RTR ESL tweeters, State-of-The-Art at the time (mid-70's). And the Eminent Technology LFT-6---three LFT (Linear Field Transducer) bass/midrange drivers and two ribbon tweeters. |
Ps I do agree with you that this was an inapproriate thread to chime in on and his point that perhaps a new set of speakers at $7k might sound better than an older used $15k one. In that light he might not have induced such ire. Everyone loves a bargain however this is a flawed thread. Because a speaker is rarely seen on the used market may mean that the speakers for whatever reason didnt sell. So because brand x is rarely seen on the secondary market may mean very few were sold vs the conclusion everyone loved the product so much the owner never sold them. |
Kenny you need to excuse Mr. Belman Bache he is kind of new to the Gon. We heard his speakers at the NY audio show and we were quite impressed so at this point he is going to bring them to evaluate and see how they stack up to the Quads, Kefs, and Paradigms and Legacys. He really does mean well so you might want to give his products another shot if they interest you. He is but one of dozens of small passionate guys who make good speakers that may deserve a space in the market but are having difficulty connecting with possible buyers. The sound at the NY show was quite special. Dave and Troy Audio Doctor NJ |
“Bache speakers is just coming to the market, if you NJ, NYC and speakers lower, call me or audiodoctor.” Yes shame on you,that’s not what this thread is about at all and Manufacturers and dealers should never post like this. I will also tell you that I was interested in one of your top speakers and was going to inquire about them,not now consider me a lost customer forever. Kenny. |
“Silverline Bolero speakers are rare and wonderful. Perfectly musical and the kind of speaker that one can stay contented with. I miss mine. “ Me too,Oh wait I’m listening to my pair with upgraded caps on the Esotar right now,such a wonderful musical speaker for sure,and they certainly don’t come up for sale very often at all. Enjoy, Kenny. |
To: jdpalmer1/ + anyone else interested. There is a pair of ProAc Response 2.5’s in Mahogany for sale (local pick up only) in Portland OR for $1845...if anyone else is looking...they have been there several months. Good people at Echo Audio. And my 2¥, the Aerial Acoustics 5b, LSA Model 1 Statements, ( yeah, I waited about 2 hours too long for the last pair Insaw a couple weeks ago incredibly priced). All tough to track down... Cheers |
Dynaudio Special One. There is a black pair in Europe right now and that is about all I could find in the last couple of years. Dark brown ones have not been seen out of the first owner's home ever, so it seems. They are old, but it was the same when they were new. You could add Dynaudio Special 25, but they come from time to time. jahatl513, There have been two pairs of Revel Performa3 208 on Audiogon recently. Both in immaculate shape. Brown one in February, black one a week, two, or three ago. Both from the same dealer in Fairfax, VA. |
Focal 7v7.These aren't really a whole speaker,but a vintage midrange driver that extends quite low.They are considered by some in the know as one of the best if not "the" best all time high efficiency cone midrange driver. DIY er's had a field day with these years ago.They are one of the biggest sounding,most open sounding midrange I have heard.Part of their great image "size"comes from the fact that they are a 7 inch midrange.If crossed over low enough in its upper range ,instrument with lots of obvious air volume like organ will literally bowl you over with their apparent size, (grand piano also).They have a very powerful magnet and transient response does not seem to suffer over their size.They are I believe 97 db efficient and they make many paper cone midrangess sound distorted and like they are about to break up.Very rarely seen on here.A classic from the past that still holds up. |
