Salk songtowers and songcenter going to a 240/3 with double die option. To help is also a
Salk songsub. Beautiful music for imperfect ears.

Salk Veracity HT3's in the main set. Refurbished KLH 17's (thanks Mark) in the shed.

That's what it is. No AVA circuits. It's my brothers. He got t in the late '70's from our friend you replaced it with a pair of Kenwood L-07M's

My homegrown speakers (sealed) have Dynaudio d28/2 tweeters, Peerless Nomex mids, and Peerless sandwich 10" woofs.

Also have Boston Acoustics A-300 & A-40, and some Wharfdale bookshelf speakers.

We've managed to accumulate a nice little collection of speakers. Quite a bit of Van Alstine driving these. I noted speakers powered by t-amp and not AVA. We have other pairs but these are our favorites.

Biro L1
B&W 801
B&W 640
B&W DM11(t-amp powered)
Dynaco A25 (2pr)
DCM Time Windows (living room on TV, T-amp)
Energy Pro 22 Ref Con
KEF Reference 2
Klipsch Heresy(t-amp)
Wharfdale E70

On a side note, does anyone else have a pair of DCM Time Frames?

I no longer have my AVA as I took a different path (SET), but when I had it I thought it sounded great with these (EgglestonWorks Fontaines):

That's a very good question!

Apologies if this isn't the best place for this question, but I just receved a gift last night from family in the form of a pair of vintage "Jim Lansing Signature" speakers. I opened them up, and they contained 'D130s', '075' ring radiators, and '2600' crossovers. (The '030' configuration?)

I've scoured google/audioheritage.org, and--best I can tell--these are likely from the late '50s. The cabinets, as you'll see from the pics--are ginormous! (note the ruler in the pics--approx. 26" "tall" by 36" wide) Some interesting observations: The ports are in different locations in each cabinet. Also, the tweeter is in the upper right corner on each, instead of in a mirrored fashion.

I hooked them up to my vintage Denon PMA-501 last night and they sound--for their age--miraculous! But I'd love to know more about them--does anyone have any direct experience with this family of speakers? Also, I feel like they'd be well-served by bypassing the original crossovers (while preserving them in their original state) and installing an updated crossover network on the back (the bottoms and backs are unfinished, and I'm gathering these may have had feet at one point...). Any drawbacks to this?

Any insight/personal experiences would be appreciated...

Teddy - you might want to also post this at AA in their Vintage topic. I've seen lots of Lansing related posts over there:
