Considering Beveridge, your opinion please.


Hi all, I resently started researching loudspeakers for a 2 channel audio system. I'm considering buying a pair of Beveridge loudspeakers, I've read extremely positive things about them, but the number one thing that attracts me is the realism they are capable of producing. They can still be found in the used market and I understand they can be refurbished to almost new condition by R. Beveridge himself, total cost should be around $2500.

Other speakers that have picked my attention are Janszen and Sanders, they both have very good reviews and have great support and warranty. Price wise they're 3-5 times the Bev.

I will appreciate your comments, first about the Beveridge, and the idea of buying into 20 year old speakers and then your opinion of the new Janszen and Sanders.

Thanks and happy holidays to all.

Hi,

I own two pairs of Beveridge loudspeakers: Model 2 / II and Model 3 / III. The Model 2 restoration is incomplete. The Model 3 has been restored by Rick Beveridge and, as I recall, incurred substantially more expense.

A link to a picture of my Beveridge Model 3 / III appears on my system page. I'm contemplating their sale on eBay as there may be a greater international interest. Feel free to contact me.

Regards,
Sam
Make sure R.B. can service them .The last i heard, he did not have the tools or the facility to do so.
I would not buy them. I like the Sanders but you need his high powered amps etc., to really make them reach peak performance. Consider something like the Von Schweikert vr-33 or 35. Amazing performance at real world prices!
