Can anyone tell me what happened?

I believe the Regent ? ( a D'appolito configured floorstander w/ some weird "hourglass" cuts to minimize diffraction around the tweeter) was reviewed in a stereophile issue from the early 90's and also on the recommended components list somewhere. They were $3,200 msrp?? Didn't they have the Jubilee too? a little bookshelfer.

Thanks Newbee & Ez,
You're on the mark Ezmeralda11 about the hour-glass shape and MTM arrangement of the Dynaudio drivers with a 1994 price tag of $3200. Dug through several boxes of old Stereophile mags until finding an early 94 review of the Regents. I've owned a pair of Regents for about 5 months now and will not part with these!

What I'm now after is the Gem/Jubilee set-up that you both mentioned. The previous owner of my Paragons left a brief review of the Gem/Jubilee by some South American reviewer in the Regents Owners Manual and now these are the only 2 pieces of info I have, 94 Stereophile on Regents, photocopy of some translated review of Gem/Jubilee.

Newbee, I'm not clear on which model you have?
Thanks,
Bruce

bryhifi, i have the jubilee/jems. i can't blame you for wanting them - but you can't have mine. i put my quad 63's in the attic. to me they like the contour 3.3 w/better bass and imaging capability. the impedence curve makes them ideal for tubes unlike the dynaudio's. they are very neutral with excellent bass. i believe they improve on the regents in that the jem woofer crosses over at 400 hz and takes a lot of stress off the midrange speaker and cleans up the midrange substantially. IMHO this speaker was one of the great bargins on the mid nineties. i recall seeing a review on these speakers in an early audiophile voice issue and in high performance review - winter 95-96. i almost bought the regent myself but i wanted to get something i thought was better suited to tubes. i think the regent had a more typical dynaudio impedence curve. if you have any questions about the jubilee/jem e-mail me.
