Vintage AR Hi-Fi Speakers





Amplified Sub woofer system








Description: These vintage loudspeakers were probably made in the late 60's to early 70's and are quite interesting. Built into a rugged plastic suitcasse, which is made form soft plyable material and speaker mounting re-inforced with a super heavy duty metal ring they invite professional usage. Their sound is somewhat mid rangy, but with a seemingly very smooth curve. These speakers have quite a nice sound, especially for Hi-FI applications as well. If one uses the tone control of a stereo amplifier to emphasize the highs and the bass, to extend the mid range in both directions, one experiences a rather smooth sound that has good bass response and a quite natural character. Sond is very present and lively as if the music wa spalyed directly in form of the listener. This is probably due to the fact that the soft plastic casing emits sound as well and into all directions.
As lighweight as these are, due to the rather small suitcase enclosure, these are perfect for vocal and instrumental applications as well, especially for the road, as these take up little space.
As the original speaker drivers of these speakers had been exposed to moisture and their cones because of it were bad, I replaced them. The replacements drivers I had were made by the same manufacturer very similar in model and in near mint condition, but are designed as musical instrumental speakers. This invitres to use them for guitar work or vocal applications. I think you will love them and treasure these fo ryears to coem!

Features:

• 8" Drivers
• 20 W RMS / 30W peak. power handling capacity (etimated - I tested these with a 2 x 45 W RMS amplifier)
• 1/4 inputjacks
• Nice lightweight and small, but ruged suit-case style plastic cabinets
• Nice vintage warm and smooth mid range sound

Condition: Good to excellent. Only minor sings of age. Work perfeltly.

Work perfomred:
Replaced the drivers with very similar of approximate same age musical speakers. Upgraded input terminal form screws to 1/4" input jacks. Physical celaning and etail work. Tested Work very well and have nice sound!.

Description: This KLH sub-woofer system is desinged to add low end bottom bass frequencies to any existing stereo with ease. For easy hook-up this unit desrives it's input signal form being connected between your stereo and it's speakers - in other words: disconnect the speaker wires form yoru existing speakers and connect them to the sub woofer then run anothe rpair of speaker wires form the sub woofer to yoru existign speakers and voila: now you wil lhave bottom end. This design also will allow to drive your system hotter, as the circutry in the sub woofer removes the low bottom end form your speakers - AND: you will have more power and volume overall, as the sub woofer is amplified. It could not get any simpler than this: UPGRADE the sound of your computer, office stereo, bed-room stereo or where ever you enjoy a more full and satisfying sound! Make your sound BIG!

Vintage HiFi and high Efficiency Speakers from the 50's and 60's
A note by Marc Rising Star ©2006 ultraelectronicactive.com.. These kinds of speakers are ideal for vaccum tube amplifiers and receivers, as designed when this was the only equipment avaialable. Basically speakers for vaccum tube equipment are quite different from modern equipment. The difference is: In the days of old, output power from amplifiers was precious and in low wattage ranges. Speaker desings were aimed to use this precious energy wisely with high efficiency designs (resolution and detail in sound!), and in the context of using avaialble materials at the time. These materials often were based on natural resources compared to synthetically engineered materials of today. Thus vintage speakers sound quite different than modern ones: warmer and more natural, but at times can be more mid rangy, occasioanlly boom in bass, or lack it. Truely vintage speakers are also not recommended to be used with modern equipment, unless the equipment used with them provides modest output power. Ideally speakers would be able to handle double the amount of rated RMS power of the amplifier that drives them. So: as vintage speakers are designed for low power ranges, vintage speakers are easily overdriven and with too much power and easily destroyed.
Vintage speakers often have a much flatter mid range response and often sound warmer. Vintage speakers are often great for music that uses acoustic instruments, and often they provide amazing detail. More modern speakers in comparisson often provide the experiences of "power" that "blows the listener away", "blows your ears off", or makes windows and doors rattle. These speakers often require a minimum power amount to start unfolding their gifts (Not good to be used with most tube amplifiers!), and also quite often lack the very fine detail within their massive mountains of power. Different Times - Different Designs - Differend philosophy in sound and music listening. Definitely worth exploring - Get a pair of Vintage High Efficiency Speakers! • More Speaker related information HERE •

Description: With the "Sandwich" Loudspeaker (circa 1960) H.J.
