Transmission line speakers

I didn't think about Castle having T-lines,thanks

This is funny !
Owned the B&W DM2A in the mid 70's, and replaced them in 1978 with........IMF TLS50Mk2's !
The listening room I had, was too small for these speakers, so I moved on to Elipson B1303's in 1980.

Serious Stereo makes an excellent transmission line speaker using the Altec 604H. It is rather large but is 102db and the bass is deep with extreme clarity.

It would appear that you have taken Rodman99999's advice, although possibly unwittling. The IMF was made by Irving M. Fried, while he resided in England, before moving to Pennsylvania and starting Fried Products. So you are the proud owner of a pair of "Frieds". The one I saw in the picture was the "left" speaker (tweeter is on the inside). Not only will you find the sound of a transmission line such as this very pleasing, but the rules are more liberal for placement. As the bass will not become bloated when it's placed close to the rear or side walls. So you can set them up where the WAF facter is excellent, without comprimising the sound quality. I have some experience with Fried so if you need anything, just write.

Audiobyus1, I agree with your assessment of Fried loudspeakers.

However, apart from his time at Harvard and distinguished service to our country during WWII, Bud Fried lived his entire life in the suburban Philadelphia, PA area.

It is true he spent a few months per year in Europe and the UK, making in his estimation 3 to 4 trips on an annual basis in an unending search of audio. Although he never mentioned to me about maintaining a residence in the UK, given the amount of time he spent on the other side of the ocean, held a self-admitted tremendous fondness for the ladies, and the fact that he came from quite a wealthy background, it would make a lot of sense to have a second home there.
