Some years ago, my BiL was hired as ceo (with a stake) by a private equity club to give a company that supplies/services wheelchairs a window display polish, to flogg off with profit in 3 years time.
Sold to....an old geezer in the car dealer business.
naah
considering that :
- JBL's aren't Altec's (my first love) ,
-I already have one pair of RCA LC1A and one pair of Poor Man's RCA (Tannoy's K3808)..... so -I'm good
...... feel free to make same arrangements with Jacco
How about those Teslas and Parmeko twin cones (WITHOUT) the Lorenzo pretend tweeter bridge? IF they can be tamed they are brilliant.😎🙂🙂

I was raised in Mountrath in S.Ireland: in those days it had 22 shops and 23 pubs!.......that is a VERY conservative town in Ireland!😉
As you spent time in Suffolk - as did I - that is FAR too close to Holland!😀😀
We spent a bit of time in Felisxtowe, which is right on the Channel and I learned how to swim in the North Sea with my chum Tricky Toll. From there you could almost see the Frenchies shooting brown eye salutes towards us.....😱😱😱

they're nice , indeed .
in any case , one need to hear those boobie RCA's , to became aware what's possible with that construction
major difference between RCA and all other coaxials is position of tweeter .
and , as illustration of linearity - there is just one 4uF cap as complete xover (nuttin' in front of bass)
Having once owned the very first pair of Tannoy reds - in one off enclosures all built for Olympic studios (powered by a RAdford hybred TT100, I am still amazed at the capabilities of some old(!) units - when properly used.
dunno to what I can thank that I'm always knowing right ppl ........... but even in case of my brand new (old) Tannoys - I received more than worthy tips ......
Aleksandar R. (RAAL himsef) gave me advice how to make proper xover for them , for home use
Original Tannoy xovers (all of them ) were made with one of primary goals to protect tiny compression driver's coil even in case of heavy power usage (monitor and PA duty)
for home use we can use much simpler xover , with increased sound verity, as result
boxes are another issue ; only biggest horn ones weren't too much of compromise , or even disaster
even if my own Guru used to say - "you can put Tannoy in garden bucket , it will sound good ; better bucket, better sound "

What do you think all of those medications are for???? Planting flowers??😀😀😀
Well - I do have to admit that I am past my prime - can't go 9 or 10 times a night anymore....
