merry inclusive solstitial christmass
sitting here with my christmass present to myself of a Lockwood recone on a 12 inch 1955 tannoy that has no tweeter or therefore crossover
Sticking a digital signal presently via chrome bumper, clear... jeez
my valves are waiting.... but Im hoping to hear these with the almost certainly intended QuadII before my beefier Williamson 5/20's
however I owned both very early and very late Isobariks and still own esl's
These ancient tannoys are astounding... and i just love live and older simpler recordings as they are too revealing of poor production
my view is that loud Isobariks gave me the feeling of taking in the entire sound or presence of the stage and arena and endless bass and the acoustic of the whole deal... its live recordings im referring to
These tannoys just concentrate on the music and performance ... putting me in the front row or on the mixer.... its like nothing I ever heard. JBL's are good for live but are pushy and maybe brash.... these just stick you in front of the band ...,the esl's let the music go behind and sideways ... the briks shove it everywhere in exciting dollops ...these are what the band listen to playback on....Gereat
and at risk of repeating myself these are Lonnie Donegans old home studio monitors... when he was releasing 78 's ...so no need for a tweeter...However ultra clean rumble free digital input somehow by being so clean compared to what these had to cope with back when somehow seems to compensate for a presumed hf rolloff,
that the monstrous thick paper cones just sing, they are like baffless speakers sort of but loud
and no drink has been taken yet
the recording that clarified this for me after a week of tweaking and is on now is
Quicksilver Messager Service
playing 'Who do you Love'
which has to be one of the best live recordings from the 60's by a long way
just sayin more amazin than briks and subtly revealing in a utterly non esl57 way, 1955 big tannoys
Anyone with an affordable QuadII or wants to hear a kosher 50's studio set up in southern Scotland
cheers
peace on earth goodwill to all beings
