Just bought a couple of Audiolab (Dutch high-end from the 70's)
speakers and after listening one hour the dynaco's smiled at
me when I reconnected them.

Only thing is I have no clue about the model. There is just a serial
on the back and that't it. I have multiple dynaco brochures and
even some dynaco amp manuals but this model is not listed.

Maybe someone here knows the model and history?
My mother told me only yesterday that they where around Fl 800 each
back then which translates to around $ 460 nowadays

Seems these could be rare ! They are not apparent on this Dynaco tribute site , but I would suggest you contact him about them , http://home.indy.net/~gregdunn/dynac...ers/index.html

A few years ago I picked up a nice pair of EV Model Four's at a Ontario Hamfest. The cabinet is SOLID. has a 12" woofer, 4" cone mid and large tweeter horn. I gave them a listen on a 20 watt/ch tube amp when I got them home and was immediately very impressed. I decided these would stay and if I was ever in a position that I had to part with my own designed Ultors in a smaller room, that I could live with these. That is very high praise for a small box (~2 cu.ft.).

EV Model Four

Pushed a pair of them with a HH Scott 99D. Many years ago. A sound I will never forget. And strive to reproduce to this day.

Absolutely, they are keepers

technics sb-e100-xg really quite special attack, more than makes up for having to sit on the floor to listen at the right level.

the fact they are technics makes it all the more enjoyable, telling 'audio nuts' who simply buy whatever is expensive that you have

-phillips CD 960
-sharp SX 100 amp
-technics sb e100 xg speakers

enjoy their smirking 'well i suppose that really is not hifi', knowing your system would knock the socks off theirs!
