Good work Mr K.. I was commissioned to pull the shopping trolley for mummy on a Friday afternoon weaving through hungry human traffic in busy 1970’s …Ridley Market in Dalston London. Well there were always a reggae sound with decks and homemade chipboard humongous speakers where you literally felt Dennis Brown’s drummer/bass guitarist pounding your diaphragm with the mighty Bass and the horn tweeter sounded overwhelming when v close .. but as you moved away and the sweet spot usually by the fruit and veg area - it sounded amazing!! Apparently the record shop there had a direct link to Trojan records from Jamaica.. But happy memories of a Glastonbury shopping experience as a kid 🎉🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔇📣📢

Continental speakers focused on all out clarity and neutrality, and they didn't appreciate a slightly warmer bass at the cost of speed (with exceptions).

@@TheSoundrookie B&O have always had the reputation of style over function and lumped in with Bose as over expensive life style systems. In recent years with many of the products doubling in price since launch they seem to be aiming for the ultra rich as even their entry level speakers are now very much over priced. 36% price hike in a year when other manufacturers have increased their price only marginally above inflation. I recently got a pair of CX100 speakers with a Beocenter 9000. I would not have consider these in 1986 and certainly not from the specifications. The CX100 have more bass than the specifications indicate and for bookshelf speakers are very good. I had to replace the foam surrounds to the drive cones but they still work nicely. The Beocenter 9000 has an interface that performs like 21st technology, it isn't, the touch panel is not not what it appears but works like a modern touch screen device. It is elegant, understated and the sound quality was and remains worth the asking price. I would never have thought that from demonstrations in show rooms 30 years ago.

Hey Kelvin, I have picked up a set of Braun Output C (micro speakers) and they're clearly high class if compromised by the size. I've also learned that there is a connection between A/D/S and Braun and that the larger speakers are very well regarded. I think the British brands really took all of the thunder in the '70s and early '80s, but maybe worth looking up Braun/ A/D/S as they have made some fantastic speakers.

JR149 and the three way JR150 are great speakers. I ended up with two pairs of JR149 speakers returned from my brother in law and my parents so got a third pair to use one as a centre channel. I powered them with a Meridian G55 five channel amplifier. I also had the super woofer but it would not work with the G55 because of the amplifier it used to filter the low frequencies from the passive speaker output of an amplifier. In buying the JR149 in 1978 and the MkII for my parents in 1983 I listened to the LS3/5A and Kef 101 and other book shelf speakers. The JR149, even with the same drive units had more bass and a better quality but did need a more powerful amplifier to drive them than the Kef 101 for example. I sold the JR set up to get Meridian floor standing D600 speakers which at that tie were cheaper than the JR149 on the second hand market. In 1979-80 I listened to a range of speakers including the Gale 401, Linn Isobarik and Meridian M1. I still have the M1 speakers, 44 years now.

nicely reviewed Kelvin! i think many of your followers on here are tempted to buy these great speakers you recommend but as they are all around 50 years old there is the question as how they remain a good investment regarding maintenance - i have a number of electrical components (amps, record players) around 50 years old and as they have all been fully serviced and maintained professionally i can be pretty sure they are operating safely and at their best performance. I have been looking for classic large standmount speakers for some time (currently using B&W 602 s2) but not sure what kind of maintenance they would need to guarantee they would be performing at their best, alternatively there is a trend today towards "classic sounding" new speakers such as Mission 770 or Wharfedale Lintons / Dentons.
@emeeul4 ай бұрын
Not much to do - I think they’re more reliable than the amps and receivers. Replace some caps, maybe resistors and transistors, sometimes the surrounds are done (foam) but really that’s it. Maybe drivers with ferrofluid need changing out but I love old speakers - great value with very few parts.
@peterlarkin7624 ай бұрын
Speakers last a long time and don't really need maintenance unless they've got leaky electrolytic capacitors in the crossover. For the most part they get damaged by owners giving them too much power. I've repaired some old B&W's, Dual's, Spendors etc... Apart from broken drivers, issues are: rattles in the box/things loose, damping/ gaskets disintegrated, cables/posts are corroded or gone green, loosed internal connections. Occasionally out of value resistors (Spendor). Rarely bad caps. All easily sorted without a professional tbh.

Cult. Hype. Spin. They are detailed. Clear. Unforgiving and designed for small spaces, near field and mainly for human voice speech as to be delivered over FM radio (40-15000 Hz). For that they do an excellent job. Originally sold for around £189 in 1980. They lack the bass of the JR149 and even the Kef 101. JR149 needed 60 Watt amps to drive them, Kef 101 are more efficient. Domestic amps of this price range included the 30-40Watt Cambridge P80 and A&R A60. Why the £800-£1250 second hand I don't know. The £800 is roughly the inflation rate since 1980. The new price from Rogers is £2750. I doubt that can be justified by any measure. There are many speaker choices including powered and full active speakers for that price point. If the buyer listens to them first and compares with others it is their choice, their ears, their budget.

From the 60 through the 70s there were some clear distinctions listening to British, Continental (mostly German), Japanese and USA designed speakers. More so than in the amplifiers or cassettes. Turntables also seemed to have distinct flavours. Some Japanese companies had the speakers designed and developed in the UK because of that difference in buyer preference. There were also distinct looks in the control panels of the electronics with the British classical designs less flashy, minimalistic (Quad, Lecson, Meridian, Naim, A&R, Cambridge Audio, Leak) and the German industrial designs from Telefunken, Grundig, Uher, Beyerdynamic, Blaupunkt, Canton, Visonik echoed by the Dutch Philips and even the Philips owned UK Pye. Very different today with modern designs from the likes of Elac and Dynaudio.
