Odd Speakers and Other Curiosities

$300 is what they cost in 1977!
Kind of cool, but nothing to write home about! I think they have a 12" woofer, a mid, two tweeters and two super tweeters.

They definitely look like a product of their time. There's a lot of vintage gear out there like it.

I saw these the other day. There are some interesting speakers being created by really small boutique companies.

I think those are line array or radiator. Found a pair of these Electro-Voice LR4B out here for $300. No images without the grilles tho. I don't know much about 'em either.

Now this brand I've never heard of at all before, but looks like nice stuff. Cypress Audio 3.0 towers and center for $1500.

No model or numbers in the description. Just "tower speaker set".

*Edit: Are those bookshelf speakers sitting on top of a pair of subs? Or are those powered bass sections?
**I can't find a damned thing about these speakers...

Can't say I've heard of Cypress before either nor see anything with a brief search and don't see them in a list of "known" white van brands either. Does look like powered woofers with tops to make the tower....might be worth a trip to at least take a listen?

White van all day. Tell the seller you'll take it off his hands and drive it to the dump if he pays you $50 for disposal fee.

Looks like the early version of the RBH towers.

Bravo! I have some Google skills but I have to bow before your mastery. I couldn't find anything and I even checked the white van list like HD did.

Those look a lot nicer than your typical white van specials with the dual 5 way binding posts and dual 8" subwoofers. Damn.

*Edit: I emailed the seller. Might have some fun with them... lol

The woofers are magnetically shielded, an old design. Who's still using a TV set with a cathode ray tube screen which is affected by close speaker magnets?

I've never heard of Genelec as a speaker brand. My guess is those are not worth nearly 2k tho... you have any experience with them?

They're a famous studio quality monitor....some of the best. No experience, tho. European based so maybe not so well known on this side of the pond....

No, and you're misspelling it.

Well, Fluance is a respectable brand, "fluence" however...

Good point

I would not doubt that there's a brand named "fluence". They're probably sold by the same company who produce "morentz" audio gear, lol.

I can't find them now, but I swear there were a pair of those on Craigslist! We could have gone to listen to them!

They weren't in nearly that good shape tho. The ones I saw were all dusty and beat up looking.
