FMI Fulton Musical Industries J modular.... How will they stack up?

[WmartinB]

I am eyeing a pair of Fulton Musical industries - Original J modulars with the multi panel electrostat panels - Nice condition

The price is fair, I am just wondering how they would stack up against my other speakers.

There seems to be a few posts about fulton speakers - I was wondering if any AK gurus can offer some impressions

Hook 'em up to you ARC D-300 amp and you are in heaven.

Did you end up getting them!?

While I definitely haven't heard a lot of high-end speakers, these are my absolute favorite for accurately reproduced music. To me, they really don't have a weakness in sonics (when working correctly) and their ownly downside besides possibly maintenance is their size. Luckily, they somewhat breakdown so moving them isn't quite as hard

J. G. Holt was very fond of these speakers.

Fulton J modulars are the best speakers I have ever heard, time does diminish comparison - but for minds eye, definitely the best.

I hung out at a Fulton dealer for about a year back in the day. It got to the point I was allowed to put on any record I wanted and the "J"s sounded great with anything I put on, from Funk to Beethoven. They are quite large and takes a large room in order to show what they are about. Luckily they are much more efficient than the Infinity speakers that I thought were second best.

I ended up passing on the pair that was offered to me - the cabinets were too far gone - they were stored for the last 20 years in a damp basement and had water damage/smelled like mold.

I probably would have bought them otherwise, the seller was firm on $300 which would have been a good price.

There is a pair on flea bay that has been up for a while, if another set pops up locally I'd definitely drive to check them out.
