Been a Lurker here on the site.... I am mainly a muscle car guy but always had an ear for nice audio equipment but could never really afford hi end equipment.
Back 15 years ago or so I splurged on a few items. Some B&W 301s then some paradigm monitors and have been pretty happy with those being driven by my Yamaha receiver (forget the model off hand)...... Well 2 months ago a buddy gave me a real nice mint vintage turntable. I am totally hooked on spinning records and even the wife and 15 year old daughter are hooked on spinning. I loved the new sound it gave to my current but mid line better than average setup.
Well then I remembered my parents having inherited some old speakers from my late great uncle. They had just put them in their basement not thinking or knowing what they had (Good thing). I recall them sitting there since the early 90's and they have never been played since probably the early 80's before he passed. I had no clue what they were but knew they were there and thought I would go grab them and try them out with the new/old turntable I recently got.
Anyway to the point.... here is what I have pics below!
Boy was I surprised. With some digging I see I have a real nice set of Electro Voice Marquis with SP12 woofers, T25A w/horn and T35 tweeters. Very cool stuff. I have yet to really play them and wanted to make sure all was good. As soon as I got them home I did briefly hook them up to my Garage Man Cave Denon but never turned the wick up. That was 2 weeks ago. This past Sunday I finally opened one of them up to see what was there. Again big surprise...
Now I am on the hunt for some affordable (Haha) low watt Tube equipment to drive them. I guess I can dream for now... I have a ton to learn
Anxious to hear everyone's thoughts. Thanks
