I actually walked behind the "screens" to see who was playing violin. Told they guys at the store they should run an ad that says "Come in and don't hear our speakers."Even after all these years and my love affair with horns, flirting with ESL, those Maggy Tympani still hold a special place. Legendary, indeed!

I have brought my 1953 Wharfedale Super 12 CS-AL speakers out of hibernation and have given them a new life in open baffles, augmented at the frequency extremes by the Super 3 tweeters & the W60 12inch woofers.
Over the years I had tried all kinds of (homemade) boxes for them without satisfaction. I've now found nirvana. dobias: D |

Maybe they're just legendary to me because I've used them basically every day for the last 10+ years, but I think the Radio Shack Optimus Pro LX5 with the Linaeum tweater should be on this list. I remember there being a lot of buzz back in the 90's when these things came out. Especially when they'd go on sale for 50% off.
Sorry for the Stereophile link: http://www.stereophile.com/standloud...s/695ratshack/ The low end on these speakers is sort of weird (if you own them you'll know what I mean), but the mid range and high end is awesome. http://rednerd.com/prolx5.jpg |

Yamaha NS1000
Presently restoring these. Need new tweeters. Fabulous midrange. Tight bass, good for 99% of music, but sometimes needs a subwoofer to assist...

Yamaha, pretty amazing company. Audio equipment, musical instruments, snow skies, motorcycles, outboard motors, etc., etc.. All this different stuff, and it's all good to excellent. Like, what does a piano and outboard motor have in common?

Because I shared years with these..
Celestion 66 (quite good actually) IMF TLS50 (still have them and like them, though difficult load) Braun 830, 1030 (loved them) Braun-A/D/S LV-1020, a triamplified speaker that looks and sounds great (still have them.. and the Regie 510/1021 to drive them.) And my everyday speakers are Tannoy Golds (and HPD) 12" and 15". Just love them. Quad 57ESL wish I still had them.. Would have liked to have a pair of Klipschorn, or Westminsters.. but I'll start building Tannoy Autograph soon.. If I can fin de courage to start this journey to a legend.. Sylvain
