At the time they beat out HPM 100s for bass quality and overall smoothness. IIRC, there was also a pair of Original Advents in the room and they were equal in the bass but much smoother in the mids and treble. They were very good with vocals, especially. BTW, mine have foam "treatment" on the oval drivers and the tweeters.
Mine have seen workshop and warehouse duty for the last 25 years.
Best wishes,

Do they have brand name and/or a model number?

The woofers on the Allison Two's are sticky coated paper. I got them from the original owner and he said that they never had any work done to them. I'm positive they are original.

I head the Allison Twos when the were new. They did couple quite well to the room.

The transmission line speakers are NAS - North American Speaker from Dallas Tx. I think the oval driver was made by Toby Speakers from Ft. Worth. I'm not positive, there's not a lot of info on the web. They made two other models with horns, but these were the only transmission line speakers.

I just got these JBL C36's , with D130 and 075 tweeters. The guy I bought them from inherited them from his uncle who purchased them in 1957. He was not into audio so I grabbed them.comparing them to my C38's which has the D130 and potato mashers.

That is an enviable display of equipment, many of which you have mentioned in other posts. How do you thing the JBL compares with Klipsch. I used to sell Klipsch, but have a preference for vintage JBL, although I expect the La Scalas to should great.

Dave, I got the Belle's about 2 years replacing LaScalls. I love the Belle's running tubes. Can't imagine ever getting rid of them. I rotate them with the C38's, but man it's hard to pick which ones are my favorites. The JBL's are fantastic, close my eyes and they disappear. In this small room I think the JBL's are my favorites. Can't wait to get both of them in a bigger room. I know gee such a nice delemia.

Oops! I got my Belle and La Scalla mixed up. it was the 80's when I sold Klipsch and the biggest speakers that went out our doors was the Forte'. If I had the room I would probably DIY something along the line of La Scalla/Belle or K-horns, depending on the room. But that won't happen soon!
