vintage speakers

    Martin super Max 3 (can't find anything on them)

    Anyone ever hear of these? I saw them at a thrift store took them home and all the speakers work. The paper woofer on a tweeter is torn but doesn't affect sound from what I hear. Heavy speakers look like they're real wood. Probably partical board. They have a red thumb tack on the back of each...

    Anyone has a short review of these vintage Jensen 12" triaxial speakers? Notice that the cabinets shown in the photos attached are custom made. I'm in the lookout for some big vintage speakers.

    Problem with JBL 216a

    Hello! I just picked up a pair of JBL 216a bookshelf speakers on CL. After doing some listening on my SX-550, I noticed the right channel seemed to sound off. It sounded muffled and the highs were just not there. I tried switching the R and L speakers and still got the same outcome on the...

    Electro Voice Interface D Speakers (Equalizer)

    I have been very fortunate to have acquired a pair of Electro Voice Interface D speakers, they are in mint condition, one owner. The surrounds on the bass driver speakers have been replaced so I am good to go long term. These are speakers I would never have thought I would be in a position to...

    It all started with a $30 pair of Rogers LS7

    Hello All! I was at the swap meet in San Diego last week and I saw a pair of real wood speakers that were gorgeous. I've lived in an apartment for 16 years but we bought a house last month and I've always said I was going to put together a Hi Fi system when I had the space. Just the looks of...

    EPI 100 stack

    I successfully restored a pair of near mint condition EPI M100 (the first version with the masonite tweeter). I've installed Daytons 10uf 250V polypropylene caps and refoamed them. They sound GREAT. I've just tried them and I'm thrilled. I already had a pair of EPI A100 (the early 80s version...

    Electro-Voice Sentry II Speaker Issues

    I recently purchased 3 early 1960's Electro-Voice model Sentry II monitor speakers and I am having issues with the tweeters cutting in and out. Each cabinet has a EV SP12B and EV T35B tweeter with a crossover. I originally figured the tweeters where blown, but after playing one of the speakers...

    EPI 100 (1982) - Just impressed!

    I bought and installed a near mint condition pair of EPI model 100 (foams were replaced with quality stuff and it's the ones with the red ring around the tweeter) and hooked it to my Kenwood KA-701 and Realistic R-8010. I am thoroughly impressed with the result. I previously used Energy...

    Norman Lab #9

    Recently purchased a set of the legendary Norman Lab #9's. The surrounds were shot as you can imagine but thanks to a good friend of mine they are back in business. Well that was until we shot some juice to them and I'm guessing the light bulb blew. The woofers are still playing but nothing is...

Trying to find original replacements does not sound like an idea I want to pursue because they will no doubt be hard to find and expensive. Anybody have a recommendation for...
