i am new to this forum and appreicate the good advice of lansing heritage members. anyway, i have a 1957 built house i have just restored and am trying to stick with interior furnishings from the mid50s to the mid/late 60s. i would like to find some vintage jbl speaker cabinents with speakers, but it is kind of scary buying them on the www without hearing them first. i have altec lansing voice of the theatre speakers now, but would like to trade or replace them with jbl's from the late 50s to 60s. my electronics are hidden with two cary amps with VAC preamp all tubes. with this preface, my questions are:
1. What speaker cabinent series should i be looking for which has 50s/60s vintage which are good looking and deliver a fat sound (i mostly to jazz)? 2. Should i plan on finding the cabinents and replacing/upgrading the speakers/cross overs?
3. do any members have something like this for sale or want to trade for voice of the theatre speakers?
your advice is much appreicated. thank you
