I have a pair of Electrovoice "Regency" folded horn enclosures that I bought
used in 1969. Somewhere in the mid-1970s I acquired a pair of Tannoy
"silver" 15 inch drivers. I still use this system, and am still very happy
with it. Extremely efficient, and great bass. I use a modern pair of ribbon
tweeters in small enclosures sitting on top, as none of the old speaker
designs had particularly good high end. I run this rig off of four channels
of McIntosh tube amplifiers which are fed by an electronic crossover unit
set to 8Khz.
