Who has the oldest speakers?


When my older brother came home from the service in 1971, he had a very large Pioneer stereo system. It came with some very large floorstanding speakers. I don't see him very often, but I saw him last month and to my surprise, he still has the same system, with the same speakers and believe it or not, it sounds great. He takes really good care of the system and it is in immaculate shape. That makes those speaker about 30 years old, more or less.

How about you guys?

1907 Edison Horns with new fostex drivers at least the horns are old and pre electric
I am using a pair of late 60's altec lansing iconic horns..they still sound great.Also have my college 60's
ar 3's.
I've got a 1905 Edison Standard Phonograph with the huge horn speaker & a collection of Edison Gold Moulded cylinder records that I play regularly. I think I'll post a photo w/my system soon.
I have a pair of Khorns from 1994 not old I know but they were conceived in er um the 40s...also have a pair of 1979 Heresys...if price and space were no object I would have the entire heritage line...Khorns,Belles,Lascalas and heresys....a previous poster said "that Paul Klipsch sure knew what he was doing"....aint that the truth....long live the genius of PWK
Iam building a Phonograph with a edison 1899 theater horn things a bit larger than my standard straight 1905 edison.Have 5 edison horns and a few others plus many modern horns.They rock, funny how good the old gear was.I can see why folks didnt upgrade much till after WW2 those old windups and tube radios sounded very nice .I would love to see a pic of your set up.Iam working on a website for fall.Will have many crazy pics and links. http://www.audiocrafters.guild.com/Xtreme/xtreme.htm
I have the JBL Dorian 56. I think they are from around 1967. They have the LE175 Alnico horn tweeter, LX10 crossover & the LE 14A Alnico woofer.Yes, I'm into tubes.These speakers & tubes are a match made in heaven.They allow me to listen to music, rather than equiptment. Well, now you have my two cents!Take care
I have a set of Wharfedale W-90s made in 1964 that are emaculate and sound wonderfull.
OHM Ls I bought in 1978 that I recently refurbished.

The cabinets on my OHM F-5s are refurbished OHm F cabinets. Chances are these are a tad older even, perhaps from the mid 70s.
Greetings,
I have a 1910 & 1916 Victrola. One has the funnel horn passive speaker and one has the inside cabinet with doors on it as the speaker. They look good in my room. They only play 78"s, fun to listen to once in a while.

I had a pair of Philips 2 ways,, did not care for the larger 3 way, as I never cared for midranges. I thought the world of that speaker,,, til I bought the MTM Seas Thors,,, ,, jst for fun I pulled the Philips out the attic as a shootoutt,,,oh man, I had no idea the Philips were that poor,,but at the time they were the highest Fidelity of all the showroom models I auditioned. Clean, clear, no barking midragne,,, just amazing how the seas completely trumped the Philips,,,,,
The Seas Thors were soldered froma kit purchased back in,,,2003,, Richard Grey was kind enough to take time and solder the connects.. I am close to having xovers upgraded and will have Richard resolder the new outside cabinets xovers to the drivers.
Richard is generous with his time,, doesn;’t ask for much, but I make sure he is compensated for his skills and knowledge.
