Here ya go... take a look at the wave guide. It is a mini original Everest/S3100 type wave guide.

+1 on all counts.

Specifically on the 901, the original used the same CTS 4.5" full range speaker that were used in the original Auratones. They were inexpensive little speakers that did not...

That's my take.

While the Revel Salons and the JBL M2's are both superior speakers in terms of directivity and measurements in general, to me they are less "real" than a properly executed system...

I am not surprised GT took this path. While I loved my Everests, I struggled to get them to play nicely in several rooms that I put them in. When I upgraded to the DD67000 Everest woofers the bottom...

I will give you one person's opinion. Since you have a subwoofer, for me the answer is easy. I would go with the K2S9900.

The M2 is arguably the better speaker, but for me the dynamics of the 4"...

Yes! Back in the day those black racks of gear were stunning.

Interestingly though over time I have gravitated towards the earlier champagne colored SAE look. Not sure why, but the allure of the...

Ah yes, the self proclaimed father of "streamlining". His office absolutely did some outstanding work.

When I was in school I had teachers who had worked in the Lowe office. They didn't appreciate...

Yes, thank you for sharing these links... good to see the enthusiasm.

As someone who has had a lifelong love of design, received a BS in industrial design, and worked in the field for many years you can understand why I would be coming from the opposite direction. ;)

In my corner of the world I’ve always heard it pronounced the way that Rusty said. The same as saying Yuri.

What exactly would you be thinking about 3-D printing? Do you have access to a printer that can create metal parts?

I would submit your preference is a minority viewpoint, not unique, but not one held by most of us.

FWIW: Even the 4345 has a fair amount of industrial design in evidence. ;)

Yes, thanks Earl!

I have a couple of them somewhere myself... the analog archives. ;)
Always fun to take a quick spin down memory lane.

The Eldorado... :bouncy:
Been missing Scott since 2010... :banghead:

It was fun seeing glimpses of the Eldorado in several episodes of Mr. Robot. Never saw any views that caught any of the rather...

I wouldn’t do anything about the surface rust. If you try any physical method of removing the rust, small metallic particles will inevitably get sucked into the voice coil gap. You’re best off just...

Just wow is right!

Personally I doubt I would buy it even if I had a need for an expensive integrated amp, but I applaud the audaciousness of the retro design.
That YouTube video is...

That was unexpected. I copied an old post and pasted it to this thread. Since it predates your post, it popped in ahead of yours.

In any event, if you want a satin black finish, I recommend the...

...and there is even a built in crossover to allow biamping!

But this type of bling is pretty cool in an uber clean steam punk sort of way.

I am not generally a fan of bling in Hi-Fi or in general.
MBL produce some very fine pieces of gear and impressive sounding speakers, but their aesthetics are a bit much for my taste.

Who knew… someone at Harman seems to care… I just tried them and you are right, working again.

Agreed, beautiful!

Glad to hear it… welcome back.

Welcome to the forum.

Nice woofers and grilles… looks like the tweeters have gone missing. Those cabinets were made by someone other than JBL either as a kit or fully assembled. This was quite...

There are lots of red flags here… regardless of price, I don’t see this is a good purchase.

Regarding the fact that they sell expensive speaker cables that I would never want my system, I wouldn’t...
