Rare and Seldom Seen Speakers

[transmaster]

Maybe someone knows what they are. The crossovers sit on top of the cabs.

Well according to Google image search they are a Maytag washer and dryer combo. :yes:

 

[loonze]

had a set of the double stacked bertagni speakers....were in fact rather nice.

KEF Reference 109 Maidstones

One of the rarer KEF's you'll ever find... there's a pair in Italy that I'll throw into Dollars and Sense so this thread doesn't get purged...

I have a pair of these (AR303's) myself that I work into the rotation now and again. :yes: :thmbsp:

Those are Ken Kantor's babies... would love to give them a listen! :thmbsp:

Some pretty cool speaks out there.

I have a few oddballs left, but there sure aren't many of these Altec LF-2 subwoofers (circa 1979) floating around out there. The place where I bought it was selling it as a coffee table.

The wheels were my addition -- it's freakin' heavy!

Although not that special really, I couldnt find much information on Yamaha NS-700x so consider them rare. I recently acquired this set.

These no baffles are as rare as hen's teeth. Nice open sound

A friend of mine once had some Bifron Speakers or something like that. They had 8 x 4" speakers w/whizzer cones mounted in angled pairs on the front plus one on the back. They actually sounded pretty good.

I have two set of rare speakers:
1. Gale GS401A with original stand (very rare here in USA) and
2. Sequerra Pyramid Metronome model 3 ( I believe only made around 700 pairs).
They have something in common, the same midrange: Peerless K40 for some people one of the best midrange in the audio.

Wow, never seen the LF-2 so nicely finished. Is that the original factory veneer?

The 4 X 8's were probably car speakers which work because they're full rangers and less enclosure dependent. Here's some one of a kind no-baffles that sound fantastic.

Have you actually heard this? Wow. Very hobo eclectic.

JBL 435Be and 045Be Beryllium compression drivers!!

Nice, did you get these from that European dude off Lansing Heritage?

Thank you for the link kreichenbach. That seems to be the only info that I can find on there B2s. I haven't even hooked them up yet, because I'm a little iffy on the built in crossover network.

I think I will try a different forum for help!
Thanks again

 

[flash3x45]

Very nice speakers, BT!

This a JBL speaker I would love to have (S2600). I have not seen a pair as of yet, but hopefully one day a pair will be in my possession.

Tarzan,

Yes I've heard them at Hornfest. This guy builds great amps and speakers.

Thanks, mech -- she's really a looker. Yeah, that's the factory veneer (endriana), after a very careful restore some years back -- that's one veneer I just didn't want to sand through!

 

[carcrazy]

I also have Newform Research R645 speakers, they are very nice.

Here is a pair of Tetra 406 speakers (Canadian made).

Wow, that seems like a rough way to treat a pair of Gallo References!
