I have Crites Type B. 4 yrs old. They are made with quality components. Set up correctly, they will sound quite good. I have subs and they sound better. You can order them with ALK adjustable crossover now. I have seen veneered versions that are beautiful. These are the size of Klipsch Cornwall. Half the price.
Help this old rookie with speakers
Been reading a lot of the discussions and I am super impressed with the knowledge here.
And a sage piece of wisdom that I got 40 years ago is "if you want to get your a$$ handed to you, try to be an expert in another man's field".
So... I'm looking to put a new set of speakers in my living room. I have an NAD 2400 amp. that I have owned for 30 years, and it has served me well powering my Boston Acoustics VR975 speakers
I've had an affinity for La Scala's for a long time, but I think they are a little big for this space. So I was wondering if anyone had experience with the Crites Speaker Type CS Style B. They seem to be like Cornwalls and a very good price.
Thanks!

My first "hi-end" system was horn based, not all that different from the Crites. What a mistake. Terrible on voices.
What's an insane value right now is a pair of SEAS Thor speakers well-built from a Madisound kit that's for sale now on US Audiomart. The drivers in this kit sell for about $2100 and the seller is asking only $750 for the pair. He's of an advanced age and is moving to an assisted living facility and needs to unload them. |
Listen to other brands like Harbeth, (which do voices as good as Martin Logan’s and other ESL brands as you might be able to find a pair of HL5+ for that price and will hear way more detail then with JBL etc there’s a reason many of the best reviewers use this brand themselves for their systems don’t be stuck with just a few brands branch out listen to some Maggys also or Martin Logan’s (just don’t get old stuff and enjoy the process of exploring new directions. Enjoy 😉 |
