I scored a nice pair of Cerwin-Vega AT-15’s today. They need to be refoamed but are otherwise in very nice shape. And they’re fricken huge
 . All I had to do to get them is rebuild a carburetor from a four wheeler. Not a bad trade.

The 1970s.
The speakers were big, the decks were Technics (or Pioneer or Bose), and the pussy was hairy!

Did you also score a reel to reel???  |

It’s funny, I was watching a Friends rerun the other day and noticed the speaker in the background. I hadn’t thought about the old pink rimmed CV woofers in forever.

Not bad it looks like $27 or so dollars for a foam repair kit for the pair.

In the mid 90s, I had some DCMs with 12s in the bottom. I originally had the ones with 10s and used the step up plan at Circuit City to get them. They were awesome. Very efficient and great bass. Watching the U-571 depth charge scene was awesome, almost like having a powered sub, just through the front channels.
 Attached FileMy buddy had Infinity Crescendo Series CS-3007 tower speakers with the EMIT-R tweeter and dual 8s in the bottom. They were awesome especially when he had them hooked up to a Carver 250x2 power amp.  Attached FilePictures are just what I found online. |

Found a pair of Pioneer HPM-60's at a Goodwill store for 50 bucks.
 (file photo) The surround material for the woofer cones is treated cloth, rather than foam rubber - Still sounds as good today as it did back in 1976. |

My prized Sansui's from the early 80s almost survived the raising of our children. I later replaced them with a vintage set of Pioneers, but those did not have the same sound.

When I was younger I worked for an electronics store. I got a pair of Infinity SM-155s at cost.
They were identical to these;  About 15 years ago, I traded up to MB Quart Q Towers. Im running a Yamaha 12” sub, and a Yamaha 2 channel amp. Its so incredibly good. Insane that at 70%, you can’t even scream over them.

Quote HistoryI have always wanted to build a giant speaker like that Fostex makes a 31" but not near big enough for this kind of insanity. I don't think I could pull off an actual speaker driver build, even though I have seen it done on youTube |

I tipped my Klipsch La Scalas face down on the floor and played “On the Dark Side”, from Eddie and the Cruisers. Their light fell out of the ceiling. |
