Anyone else still loving Hales Speakers?


I am still loving my 23 year old Hales T5’s speakers. I upgraded the crossovers with good high end parts and swapped the stock tweeters to Seas Millennium tweeters. I have upgraded everything in my system over the years but I love my Hales T5’s speakers too much to trade them. Nine months ago I had my Hales looked at by a technician who matched them to each other. They were actually pretty close to matched before the work but now they are gorgeous. I will never trade or sell these speakers. They are keepers. Any other Hales owners out there still enjoying their speakers?

Still using and loving my Revelation threes and rev 1’s and rev center channel all in mint condition. Also still have my T Cinema center channel I use in my big theater room 120 pound center channel. I’ve tried to beat it over the years with the big B&Ws the Martin Logan’s, Sonus Fabre etc. nothing comes close to the Hales cinema center channel. Also have extra grills and matched drivers for all. Also bought a brand new pair of T-3’s still in box never used got a smoking deal. It was from an old customer that had tons of money and just bought stuff and never used it. I remained friends with him was over at his house the other day saw them in his guest room in a corner in the box brand new.I said what do you want for those. Thousand bucks, sold! The only other speaker that I use in my house is Joseph audio pulsar 2 graphene. It reminds me of the T1 speaker Paul made with the excel mid woofer. But the T-1/had problems playing loud the Joseph audio does not it’s an mazing speaker as well. But I will always love my Hales and never sell

Just bought a pair of Concept 5's yesterday, and I am very pleased so far. Glad to see people talking about the brand, hoping I can learn some more about them.

Your experience sounds a lot like mine!

I find the Hales T-Center can't be beat (to my ears) at least in terms of it's smooth, natural timbre.  Also, in my system the T-Center and T1s put out enough bass that I don't feel the need for a subwoofer.

Agreed though that the T1s only go so loud before they bottom out. 

BTW, I was so taken by the Hales T-Center, and worried since they were rare and hard to find, that if mine were damaged I couldn't replace it.  So I tracked down a couple of extras!  One of them is actually the original Hales T-Centrer prototype - has no finish on it - which was used to judge all the T-Centers that went in to production.

Pulsar graphene!   I bet those sound amazing.  I've only heard the Perspective graphene briefly and it did strike me as sounding a bit better than my original Perspectives.

 

My Hales T5’s speakers sound amazing. They are back from repair almost a year now. I love these speakers!
