ADS-910's

Perhaps some day!
We're all working our way up the audio food chain, so stuff would be sold to make room for the new.

Aint that the truth. Waiting for Spring to sell!
(Although this morning I picked up a nice little pair of Bozak DMS 2500.)
 
Very good shape. Cover on other's tweeter is dented, but sound seems fine. ? From The age of vinyl veneer. Rubber surrounds. Sounded great on my ST70 tubes.

The AR3's in the back ground look gorgeous

Agreed, though I'd like to hear about the cloth on the front of those Wharfedales!

Don't recall ever seeing anything that light (read modern) on those. I'd love to mimick that on mine, any info on getting the fronts off of those W70s?

Really, hmmm. Here is a close up. I believe they are the original grilles.

Thanks, man I wish mine were like those, I have the same style cabinets, just with the the multicolor brown, orange, rust, cream, beige tweed mix cloth fronts.

Recapping them currently with some Russian PIO caps from the auction site via Bulgeria.
 
I have some PIO's sitting here ready to go in, but I actually have 3 pairs of W70's and I don't think they will go in this pair. It's strange, I got these from the wife of the original owner. They are identical cabs grilles etc but one is a B version and the other a C version. Crossovers are different too so I can't use the 2 PIO's. I'll use them on this Radio People pair instead. Sorry about the hijack Glenn.

Love the look of those. It's too bad no one is making speakers of this quality today.
 
;-) well lets not get carried away .... plenty of high end companies making beautiful products ... ... but no one really in the "every day man" affordable range. Ariel Acoustics makes some gorgeously finished products in the lower price ranges but .. to get nice wood veneers you start well over a grand and closer to 2k based on my experience

Yeah, my thinking was the common man price range speakers. The majority were wood veneered back in the day before they went to vinyl.
 
10k years in the future forensic economists teamed with anthropologists unearthing the house of some speaker crazy AudioKarma member will some how determine that around 1980,,, the advent of the CD's allowed shifting away from Vinyl records allowed for the cost of vinyl to be cheap/in supply enough to allow for the covering of speakers and that was the preferred covering of consumers ... and all of us up in heaven will be looking down (and a few of us looking up) saying nooo noooooo nooo you got it all wrong!

That's funny!
 
Richard let me know he received my tweeters and mids. I'm really stoked about getting them back restored and seeing how much improvement I'll hear.
I did a crappy video with my point & shoot before I removed them so I can compare them to when the restored drivers are reinstalled.
I'll post pics of Richards work when received.

You will not be disappointing, even if by chance your drivers were/are some how in perfect working order or the sonic difference is minimal, the restoration work on the drivers will give you another 40 years :-P ... While the drivers are in Arizona might be an awesome time for you to recap these ... :-D which is another important step Even if the old films are just fine, the new mundorph etc are just simply better than those were...
