Hi everyone. I have in the past seen here there are many Bozak fans. Led me on a search for some. Found a pair of these for sale in the area.....they are recapped. Are these good Bozak speakers? I would like to be able to have the Bozak experience. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. I am not sure if I am supposed to mention cost here so I did not.

I think they are very good speakers.I have been listening to mine lately after being on the backburner for a few years.To me.. a very musical speaker.
 
While I have no direct experience with Bozak, it's one of those brands that was up there in the 50s and 60s, and interestingly speakers from this time period have a really nice sound. If the price is reasonable, get them.
 
Once a Bozak lover, always a Bozak lover. They do have a very special live sound. Not the analytical studio sound most people want to day. They are of moderate efficiency, 94 db and can handle about 30 watts rms with 6 db peaks. They respond from just below 40 hz flat to 4.000 hz with a nice roll off to 12 khz disappearing around 17 Khz. They produce live unamplified sound as originally intended. They are known for lack of long term listening fatigue and they don't attack your ears with harsh sounds. There are some upgrades to make them even better in less than ideal environments. They love tubes as well as good SS. They don't like amps that are overly dry and irritable, though they control that kind of sound better than most speakers. Sansui and Mcintosh are very popular with Bozak owners, early Marantz, too. If you enjoy Symphonic music, big Choirs, Symphonic Bands, Big Band. Want to hear what the human voice really sounds like with out that touch of honk horn speakers have, Bozak might be just the answer for you. . They won't blow your house down, will take some abuse, and are very popular with women for sound quality.
 
Find out if the recap incorporated the Tobin mods many love. Nice speakers. I had a set and the didn't make it for me, but I put them up against some Altec A7s, which have vanquished all comers.

They sounded quite nice and enchanted ne enough to mod them, but ultimately I opted for the A7s. Many here are quite fond of them; I recommend you give them a serious listen.
 
Granted I haven't tried them with a lot of different amps I preferred Yamaha power.A Sansui 9090db sounded muddy when I tried it.
