Those jaspers have some nerve. This is an LC-1, an LC-1 A , the second version, to be exact. They sound superb.

When I saw your pic, the first thing I thought of was a drawing in Harry Olson's book "Acoustical Engineering". Sure enough, it's not only very similar, it's the same! Here are some page pics if you're interested! (Let me know if they're too bright or dark. I think pg. 140 needs to be re-shot.)

Those are yours Tom? I always wanted to hear a pair they are the one vintage coaxial I have not owned or heard I have Altec 604's & Tannoy gold's back in the day I had some Jensen G 610 but I have never heard the RCA.

The quintessence of "musical".
They just sound right.

Besides -- 50,000,000 Elvis fans couldn't be wrong, right? ;)

Thanks for the kind words.
Great loudspeakers they are -- truly.
Too rare/expensive for a low-rent schlub such as I. :(





all the best,

Not mine, Sean; they belong to a fella I know who has several pair. He has a pair in in rear horn load cabinets and they sound very, very good.
