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.

Same as Mjc, I too would appreciate seeing comments about Janszen, particularly their newest offering that retails for just under $8K per pair (f memory serves).
C1ferrari - I've spent half an hour looking for a way to send you a private message and can't find how. I'd like to talk to you about the Bevs. Could you email me at cavaleroinc at gmail dot com.

Mjc,

Okay. I'm just off to a friend's studio...he's very recently received and is evaluating a Mytek Stereo 192-DSD DAC...this should be fun and informative.

I'll contact you later upon my return. I'm on California-time, i.e., UTC -8 hours :-)

I am knowledgeable about the King Sound King III, available from Performance Devices. I reviewed the original King, and now the King III, for Dagogo.com.

Feel free to read my article on the King, and if you wish contact me.
The Beveridges 2SW-2 are one best speaker system during their time of introduction in the 1970s to the 1980s. The other only rivals are the Apogees Full Range and the Infinity IRS. I had my panels in the 2SW-2 upgraded by Mr. Harold Beveridge back in December 1986 and they are still working today March 2014.... And I also have the Apogee Full Range since 1987, they are quad-amped running with eight Krell’s KMA mono-blocksand two towers of six 12 inch woofer per tower. The Apogee and the Beveridge are like two beautiful women... Both are different, but both are great... Oh yes, the Infinity IRS? I had an opportunity to buy a used pair (divorce settlement - both lawyers, including a Ferrari) but I could never jellied with the IRS's sound upon long periods of listening and I heard many set ups... So...
