I've had them re-surrounded recently and they still sound as great as the day I bought them. They were manufactured by Teledyne in the 1980's. The next awe inspiring speaker that I've listened to is the Kef 107/2 with the cube equalizer. I believe these two speakers should be in the top ten and can hold their own.
The best all around system is a double pair of KLH-9s and driving them a Futterman H3a(a) OTL amp(s). I currently have a set of SoundLab A-3s but they don't compare in musicality at all.
rdiiorio@nyc.rr.com...Yes. Check my post of 5/13/03. I'm glad there is someone out there.
Maybe I am too old. Has anyone listened to the IMF TLS80 or the IMF SACM? In the late '70s and '80s they were the BEST.
IMHO Hales Signature 2's. They Blew away my pair of Acoustat's and I would hate to think what this kind of cabinet quality and build would cost today.
