More love for the Brits. Celestion SL600 and Epos ES11 or 14. These are still really really good. Besides solid engineering, the designers actually listened to their product and made tweaks before releasing the product. Why, it's brilliant!
Vintage speaker suggestions
Set up: 2 McIntosh Mc2120 solid state amps, C-26 pre amp, and MAC-1700 receiver. Not changing any components other than speakers. I have a pair of Pioneer CS 99-As and 2 pairs of Original Large Advents, neither sounded bad, but I think I could do better. Trying to spend around 1000 or less and keep it from the same era more or less.

If you have big space, Altec A7 rocks. https://youtu.be/Dt5M4Kg0qRM https://youtu.be/V51SekzxIhc If you have medium space, Altec 19 may work well. |
fond memories come back when thinking about the original (wonderful) epos es14 and celestion sl6 - had them in college and working just after they had the metal dome tweeters that could ring a plenty (was awful when the first cdp’s came out) but with a good record player - i remember my micro seiki dd40 with a sonus blue and microacoustic cart - the slightly rolled off vinyl sounded very sweet, very right with those tweets, and the midrange was just lovely! |
