    Not JBL But Really Cool

    Just hauled home a pair of Tannoy Autograph Professional speakers.

    Late 50s vintage.

    60 inchs tall,39 and 24. Has two dual concentric Red 15s in each enclosure.

    All componets working.

    Price-FREE

    I"ll post pics tomorrow when I get them outta the truck.

    Good for you!

    Wow! Congratulations! The Autographs trade for anywhere from $7000 to $10,000 here in Japan from used audio shops. It'd be interesting to hear your story on how you got it for free. Tell us about its sound, too, compared to any large format JBLs you know, as I've never heard them.

    NICE! I always liked the sound of Tannoy, even though it isnt the same as JBL!

    Nice score, Oldmics!

    And you could hang your clothes in there both for sound deadening _and_ in place of your closets.....

    Seriously, though, those are really cool cabinets.

    Cheers,

    Those things are rated at 10% efficiency, for you SET folks, that has got to be some kind of holy grail.
    Nice score.
