Saras Speakers Anyone?

[bookasan]

Just made my lunchtime thrift shop rounds. Found a pair of Saras speakers for $30.
I have never heard of them.
Anyone?

 

[grumpy]

You sure they are not Linn Sara's speakers

 

[bookasan]

they look to be late 60's to early 70's, pretty heavy, and a logo on the grill and back "SARAS".

 

[grumpy]

No help here. Sorry.

 

[bookasan]

thanks for trying.
I also found a pair by a brand name OEM (original equipment manufacturing).
Try looking that one up on the internet, whew.......
I guess everybody tried to jump on the speaker bandwagon.

Yeah unfortunately there were millions of companies and even more re-badged speakers out there making it sometimes impossible to track down info. I wouldn't give up hope just yet as there are many others who may be able to help here.

When i lived in LA in the seventies, one of my audio haunts,(Sound center Woodland Hills) carried that brand. If I remember correctly, they were a good high end brand for the time. They were right next to the Dalquist DQ-10's, on display!

Hi all,

SixCats! here. Long time no talk to. Ronfulgelguy is correct.
I used to live in Studio City and SOUND CENTER in Woodlands Hills was one of my FAVORITE haunts as well. They carried
ARC, QUAD, MAGNEPAN, and a LOT of other VERY nice gear.
SARAS was indeed a VERY nice (NOT INEXPENSIVE) speaker system they carried for some time. I recall listening to a pair of the large SARAS and they ROCKED the house! I believe this was in the early 80's.

I have heard of Saras. They are supposed to be pretty damn good.

Maybe I will pick them up this afternoon.

One of the few manufacturers that made their own drivers too. I had SARAS 30's and the ST-200's. Owner died and the family business did too. Owner was the father of Randy Stoklos of volleyball fame.
