My very first high end speaker system was the Fulton Js

Posted by Michael Samra on January 12, 2017 at 12:25:52:




I had a friend that worked at GM that had four of them running in his basement and this was in the mid 70s when I was in High School.I was lucky enough to get a pair used and they had bass cabinets with two woofers with one that fired down and the FMI-80s were in the middle and the RTR-6 electrostatic tweeters were on top.I managed to find another pair of RTR-6 tweeters later after I sold the Js and then I inherited a pair of FMI-80s later.
The FMI-80s are fantastic but Bob Fulton could set those up like nobody else could.When I sold the Fulton Js,I bought a pair of IMF TLS-80s. Talk about a step down,that was the dumbest thing I've ever done,up until that point.
Anyway,the FMI-80s do very well 6BQ5 PP amps or 7868 amps.I was running my Js with an original GAS Ampzilla that I built from a kit.I was driving that with a Dynaco Pat5. It sounded very good at the time.
Of course,most everyone was using a little south of the border herbal enhancement in those days so everything sounded good as I recall. LOL.
These were like my Fulton Js and you can see the FMI-80s in the middle.
