[NJARC] Speakers to Match your Tube Amplifier

[Al Klase]

Hi,

OK Steve, I'll bite.  What are the approximate dimensions of
these things?  What do you have in mind for money?

Regards,
Al

Per my 1974 High Fidelity's Test Reports these systems had just replaced the 848A Flamencos at $399.00 each. These are large 8 ohm speaker systems which are very efficient and create a large amount of volume with relatively low inputs. The system is rated at 30 watts which would be overwhelming (but not distorted per the 1974 review)  in a large living room (these systems were designed for large spaces).

I have used these for the last 20 years with a Mac 240 which is a good match for the speakers. If you like glass audio and have a good size room you need these monsters.

I can bring them to the next meeting or possibly deliver if we can arrange it.  If you are interested you can email me at sgoulart@att.com or phone me at home 732-219-6193.
