Classic speakers to hunt down used

The ORIGINAL AR 9 is legendary. I don't know much about it but Chadnliz and Quadophile might. I do remember that the lower priced EARLY VERSION AR 90 sounded quite nice to me so many years ago, and that the AR 9 was said to be even better.

A few large-box classics...

Altec model 14 and model 19 are very good-sounding older high efficiency systems.

IMF and Fried (same designer) built some very nice transmission line systems.

The Snell Acoustics Type A is one of the most intelligently designed speakers ever, and was very well executed. Potential weak point is the downward-facing woofer has probably sagged over time, but I would guess it could be reconed or replaced.

Get the a/d/s 710 or 810s they are better and feature butyl rubber surrounds that never rot!

Spica T-50

i HAVE BEEN BUYING UP SOME vINTAGE lARGE aDVENTS AND REWORKING THEM. I stick with the Wood cabinet models. I can't believe that they are getting for these on ebay though. I was watching a pair that needed new surrounds go for over $250. Wow
Thay sound great though
