Just spoke with a guy who lives in Strasburg Va who has been trying to sell his Fried x-5 speakers and now he is giving them away. Anyone heard of them or listened to them. Its about a 2 hour drive for me but damn its tempting. Just giving a heads up to anyone who lives near Front Royal va Freebee......
I have not heard that speaker, but Irvine M Fried was a great designer. He was an American, but had to go to England to learn his craft. He has a good lineage. He was part of he Radford team that did so much work on the TL. Ralph West of Decca developed Paul Voight's quarter wave pipe. Decca seconded Dr. Bailey to the Radford team. John Wright was also part of that group.
Irvine M. Fried went on to produce the famous IMF TL monitor. John Wright went on to found TDL and produced some of the best speakers the planet has ever seen.
I have always stood in awe of that whole group, and done my best to follow in their footsteps.
