Vintage Speakers

Yep, I know those speakers, I have a pair. (The Audio Karma link is about mine.)

I also started a thread about them at Audio Asylum, which you can veiew here.

I also have a photo copy of the "Stereo Review" review article of these speakers that I can scan and send to you if you desire.

So, if there's any information not covered in the threads linked to that you're particularly desirous of, then please ask. If I know it, I'll tell you, though beware, I'm still working on locating more information about the D-12s as well.

Thanks to all for the info, and yes they are ugly....

Hmmmm maybe "UNIQUE" is a more polite way to put it

Hey, they only appear ugly when you first get them. After awhile, they grow on you. After few months, you love the little buggers for their oddness and for their ability to automatically garner comments of astonishment and curiosity in visitors. They are most certainly excellent conversation starters and mine with the blue grills are "funk-tastic." (I think, been a long time since I used stupid phrases like that.)

Ok, I will admit that they aren't as pretty as the $40 pair of Tannoy Berkeleys I picked up today, but they have their own appeal for certain.

Say, you never did say if your curiosity was sate. Do you want a copy of that review? I provides some insights and Julian Hirsches (sp?) requisit praise.
