Those are obviously not the speakers that Jobs owned, maybe those are a later model. The model 3's I've seen were not active and were usually paired with Audio Research amplification.
The link I posted from the sales person who sold him the gear stated he had Threshold electronics.
Not familiar with it, but seeing Maurice Andres name on the sleeve does sort of give it away, pretty sure the trumpet Andre uses hadn't been invented when the Brandenburgs were written...
Yikes, that lp's seen better days, if only they could invent something that doesn't have pops and clicks like that... Oh wait, they did!
Hmmmmmmm lush...
I like Ben Brittens 60's recording with the ECO...
I like Maurice Andre; I have a fair amount of his stuff on EMI
Was he particularly large or is that a very small trumpet?

well spotted, thanks. I thought someone who had it would recognise the general shape of the design on the sleeve. I do love Maurice Andre, indeed brass generally, but especially his silvery trumpet tone. Electrostatics and brass are a good combination, I guess there must be very fine detail in that slight rasp to the timbre which is well conveyed by them.

RHCD,
The record sounds good, but the Rampal / André version seems wrong to me. I like snappy, lively Baroque, but that performance borders on schmaltzy waltzy.
I do, however, have an even worse performance — Herbert von Karajan's attempt.

No mistaking the Threshold. The legs are the give-away. I think the lighting and the slightly angled fascia (thanks to the distinctive legs) make the fascia look a little darker.
Doesn't Steve T of Hififofum post on here from time to time?
What am I, psychic?
Or am I supposed to guess?
Is it this one...
Hmmm, this could take a while...
