I'd love to hear those.

IIRC, those are the precursors to Hegeman's own branded speakers.

Just when you think you've seen it all, something like this pops up. Very interesting indeed. Thanks for the link.:thmbsp:

I've been wanting a pair of these since I got my eico amps, and was using lowther speakers. This is the first pair I have seen. I seen one other one but it was to far away. They are bigger then you would think. They are rare and I would love to have a pair, but I don't think they are worth that price.

 

[ukfan4sure!]

Well, that certainly is interesting.

I'd like to find a pair at a yard sale, for sure!

 

[NeonDriver]

Fascinating! Makes you wonder why all of the good ideas from back then just disappeared...

Actually that tweeter looks very similar to the Walsh tweet in one of the early Infinity speakers.

IIRC. I believe Hegeman may have had a hand in the Walsh's design. But I'm not sure, it's been a while since this subject has come up.

Just Google "Stewart Hegeman Speakers".
There's tons of info on AK, diyaudio, Lansing Heritage, etc.

Wow... those ought to go in the "Rare and Seldom Seen" thread... look to be some sort of Transmission Line as well! Real interesting! :thmbsp:

 

[eddantes]

Those mid and tweeter plugs are something else! Fantastic.

There was the Citation X before he left H/K to do his own thing. Of course, there may be 5 pairs of those left in existence, if that many...
