What are your oldest speakers currently in use or owned by you?

EPI 100's circa 1977 - bought new to replace the pair that were stolen the week before. All my older speakers have gone by the way side.

A pair of Norescos with Isophon alnico drivers. Probably '60's vintage. Also have a pair of University full range drivers which may be even older.

I passed on a couple pairs of those Noresco's before I knew what they were. I'd like to try some, but I never see them anymore. :no:
 
My AR-3's were built in '67, but they aren't currently in use. I have a pair of KLH Model Sixes that I believe are a bit older, but I'm not sure of the build date.
 
My AR-3s were built in 1958, I think (SN is below 2000). They get occasional use.
 
I have a pair of Leak Sandwiches and I have a hifi magazine from 1961 or 1962 with an ad for these guys. I don't know what year mine are from but I know they made them for several years.
 
My oldest set is a pair of BIC Venturi Formula IV's, circa 1975. We did some serious rockin' out to BIC systems in high school -- it's fun reliving those days.
 
Oldest is an Electrovoice Regency I just acquired.Probably from around 1960.I've been tooling around with this oldie but goodie and it sounds great.I am really taking a shine to speakers from the 60's.Also a set of Bozak 302a's with a date of 12-59 stamped on the woofer magnet.
 
Guess they'd be my Bozak 302s from about '66 or thereabouts. Never opened them up but they came with the Sherwood catalog from that period as sell as the Bozak catalog from that year. Next would be my Bozak Symphonys from 1968 but only the cabinets are from then as the prior owner copletely replaced all drivers in 1992 with NOS Bozak drivers as he found ot they were closing shop and he wanted to renew the set for another 30 years or so of enjoyment. Then it would be the original Advents with 1974 dates on the tweeters.
 
I have a set of Akai sw-155's. Probably late 60's vintage. Four way has a 12" woofer, 5" squaker(mid). 2" tweet and 2" super tweet. Theyare on my work bench. They actually sound pretty good - really good with tubes.
 
B&O 1702, small ones from about -70, connected to the TV for basic use.
For movies, I better fire up the amp's, dac and bigger speakers.
 
In use by me? Probably my GTE/Sylvania model 105s. 10" 3-way based on design of the AR5. Very early 1970s. They're mounted in a self-enclosed workbench in my carport (with folding doors that seal the bench area closed when not in use).

Next would be the EV Interface A set in the indoor shop... late '70s.

Regards,
Gordon.
