Just like out of the James Bond movie - Never Say Never Again. I thought I was pretty much done looking for or buying any new speakers. But yet again, I came across these speakers that I just had to go and check out. From my research, I can find very little info on these. I did find that Source technology speakers are considered to be very good, maybe be even handmade in the USA speakers. I read that they are somehow connected to JSE company, which in itself doesnt have much info about. Furthermore, whatever little I could find on these speaker companies, I never found exact speakers as what I got. Mine dont look anything like any other Source Tech I could find pictures of.
Mine are tall, slightly taller than my Synergistics, just not as wide. They have a sock around them, just like Definitive Technologies I have. They have 2 rear ports that I can find by feel. They have 3 drivers - dome tweeter and what looks like 10inch woofer and another regular (not dome) tweeter in the rear, opposite to the front one. They are VERY heavy, at least 60lbs each, had to use a dolly to get them in to where I wanted them.
They sound very good now - at first when I got them one of the tweeters sounded kinda less bright than the other, but saw that they have 2 pots each in a back, so opened them and sprayed some deoxit on them, and it cleared up. This also improved low end a good deal. So, now they are very detailed and with good bass.
No model number or any other marking that I can find other than a word "Source" at the bottom of the speakers.
So, if anyone knows anything about these or any info at all - please let me know - anything helps.
And here are a few pics:
Person I bought them from said that he got them in person from the Owner/designer of the company and that he also had another even more higher end model from them - JSE Profile Infinite Slope, but he was keeping those. He said that these were well over a $1000 new.
