When the hartsfield wasn't good enough????
My neighbor built this speaker in 1950's, His wife gave it to me when he died many years ago.
The components are the origional hartsfield 150-4C 15" woofer 375 driver and the obvious proper horn lens combination and the 500 Hz crossover.
He obviously didn't stop there, The bottom part of the enclosure is its own seperate rear laoded 18" horn. Since JBL didn't make an 18" then He mounted a EV-18W. In the eighties we replaced the EV with a JBL 18 that had just come out.
on the top sits the JBL C41 Angelus which elegantly added the 075 ring radiator the system.
We last powered this system with two McIntosh Mc75 Amps.
I still have this entire system intact and am just starting to pull this out of my warehouse that is going to be demolished in a few months.What do I do with thiws baby???Montana is a long away from LA.
PS ( I did actually own a Hartsfield in the seventies, the $500 I got for it then helped me get started in my audio business)
Hartsfiels components ect....
I have had many personal replies about the parts, I really wuold like to sell the cabinet complete since someone needs to keep it alive in its present form.
Below are some of the replies I have sent in relation to readers Questions....
The catalogs I have show the
Angelus enclosure listed as an accessory without drivers mounted. Perhaps the dealer or the end user mounted the parts, The crossover in mine is situated near the center and would not clear the magnet if it were moved in. Perhaps JBL shipped them both ways depending on when you bought them. I Will look at mine sometime this week.
I really want to sell the whole speaker with components as the components themselves are hot right now. If I start selling parts I'm afraid the box will end up scrap, which would be a real shame.
