OUR MOST POPULAR PACKAGE
(photo of random reel to reel tape, and not necessarily representative of any brands / models included in 13 pack)
"BAKERS DOZEN"
13 + TAKE-UP
Reel-To-Reel Tape
Normal Bias
7" x 1/4" Tape
for sale
Pre-Recorded 1/4" X 7", Normal Bias Reel-to-Reel tape. "Grab-bag" assortment of brands may, but not necessarily include Ampex, BASF, Irish, Kodak, Realistic, Scotch / 3M, Sony, Soundcraft, and others.
We have actually found that 'Normal' bias tape works best on the older decks such as the pre 1980 Akai's, Concertone's, Craigs, Crowns, Grundigs, Kenwoods, Pioneers, Realistics, Sansui's, Sony TC's, Tandbergs, Teacs, Telefunkens, etc. We have gotten some fine recordings using this tape (also, due to the extreme 'retention' of high bias tape some times it is difficult to erase). Normal Bias tapes always seem to erase well.
 Most will be at least 1800 feet and some with leaders intact and may or may not include individual box (often do). Most have been used and possibly have recordings on them. Boxes and / or reels may have extraneous labels and / or marking on them. Reels may have blemishes / nicotine staining / dust etc. You will need to come up with your own labels as even if they are in the box, they likely aren't "sticky" anymore. Leaders may or may not be intact, and even if they are, their splices may give way and need to be re-spliced.
Due to unpredictability of stocks we cannot "cherry pick" brands so they are always assorted. Plastic reels may be clear or black. Will work on any 'head format', meaning 'quarter track', 'half-track', 'full-track', '4-track / '8-track' / 'multi-track', stereo or mono tape recorders / decks. Use a bulk eraser or will simply erase when new recordings are made on your deck (assuming your 'erase' is functioning).
Used and likely recorded 13-pack $119.99 shipped*
NOW Includes A FREE Empty 'Take-Up' Reel

OR
We can also do a "Bulk erase" on your tapes for an additional $2.00 ea.

BUFFET CLARINET
MODEL B12
INTERMEDIATE STUDENT Bb CLARINET
for sale
This clarinet is modeled after the Famous Buffet Grenadilla wood clarinets from the 'old day's'. When I worked for a 'full-line' music store thru the 1990's, we would periodically have a 'vintage' Buffet come thru and they never hung around long once serviced for re-sale. It is what most clarinet players asked for. That and Yamaha's.  This is a Buffet B12 clarinet, again, designed after the 'vintage' horns for the student / beginner and into the intermediate market. The Buffet B12 clarinets are made from ABS resin with an appearance and sound similar to that of genuine Grenadilla wood. These models are lightweight, strong and easy to clean perfect for even very young players. The Buffet B12 model has a very attractive and traditional design with nickel-plated body rings, straight key work and a traditional bell ring. The body is buffed to give the appearance of wood. The nickel silver key work is cold forged and induction soldered, providing greater stability, precision and quality. The B12 model is mounted with double fish skin pads which ensure excellent sealing.

 Features:
- Nickel plated keys, body rings & plated bell rings
- 65mm barrel
- 14.65mm poly-cylindrical bore
- Arched key cups (same as R-13 model)
- Staggered trill keys (same as R-13 model)
- Blue Needle Springs
- Adjustable 3-position thumb rest
- Ergonomic key design: Improved playing comfort like that of a professional clarinet
- Pointed needle springs for quality key action
- Undercut tone holes for improved tone quality and faster response
- High quality Double fish skin pads enables air tightness and are long lasting
- Blow-molded, hard shell case

Mouthpiece Assembly with Ligature, Cap and Mouthpiece

•           Cork Grease

•           Cleaning Swab

This clarinet retails for $925.00 (US).

    



GEMINI XL-100

    

ONKYO T-4040
 

This pair is also THE CLEANEST, most 'issue-free' pair we've had! In fact, just had a fresh, professional re-veneer in beautiful walnut wood grain veneer, then rubbed with lemon oil. Grills and grill frames in great condition. All grill locating pins intact and functioning. No breaks, cat stains, tears, rips or snags to the original grill cloth. Very importantly, NONE of the very common 'midrange wrinkling' that for some reason happens to about 50% of the HPM-100's we see.

 We have completely gone through this unit. Both Main Drive belt and Counter belt have been replaced with fresh units. All internal drive wheels / tires have been reconditioned as well as the rubber pinch roller for years of trouble-free service. Entire internal transport cleaned of old grease & re-lubed, capstan burnished, heads have been cleaned and de-magnetized as well as the entire transport. Pinch Roller swing arm assembly disassembled and re-lubed as well as the brake arms and tape tension arms. Brakes adjusted on fast wind modes also so it doesn't "dump tape" when stopped. Capstan motor re-lubed. All internal pots and controls cleaned and tested for noise-free function. Internal PB amp and Record level PC mounted pots adjusted with factor STL test / alignment tape and O-Scope. Both spindles in perfect alignment and run true. We also adjusted the reel table heights. Heads in great shape as well, with many years of performance left in them and head alignment / azimuth has been checked and adjusted for peak performance. Records at ~-6dB. Plays great on both channels. Both level meters playback even. Speed checked to 99.0% accuracy! (Total time investment in refurb / testing ~ 13 hours. Pinch roller and heads all in GREAT condition!!!  Deck looks good with some minor, normal edge chips to wood grain case!

 Beautiful Condition, Realistic 494, Three-head, Quad / Stereo, Open Reel Tape Deck. This is one of the few reel to reel decks we get in that make it to our finished page. Great performer. If you're looking for a reel to reel deck to "actually use", here you go. Only about 25 % of the used Reel decks out there can be "practically" restored to working order. This one made it through to test great! Looks and sounds great! We have completely gone through it. Will play 3", 5" & 7" reels.

From the original Radio Shack catalog, "Make "live" recordings with a realism and dimension never before possible". (would be interesting to record a live show / band, then playback on a 'Quad' system).

Realistic 494 Features include:
 
- 3-Head tape monitoring (a very high-end feature for checking recording quality as the tape is actually being recorded)
- Three Speed transport supporting 7.½ ips, 3.¾ ips & 1 7/8 ips
- Selectable 4 channel or 2 channel "standard stereo" mode
- Variable Output Level control for RCA pre-outs
 - Separate Left & Right, Front & Rear controls for mic and line level inputs
- Master Record Level adjustment
 - Source / Monitor selector for third head in recording mode
- Lit Dual-twin Analog VU Meters
- Left & Right, Front & Rear, front mounted  ¼ " Microphone inputs
- Pause Control
- Front and Rear / Mix ¼  front mounted headphone jacks (four total)
- Separate 'Power Switch' combined with a 'latched, mechanical' tape transport, means you could 'self record' your live performance from stage, simply by 'foot switching' on AC power.
- Reel Size: 3", 5" and 7"
 
Realistic 494 Specifications:

Track system: 4-track, 4-channel/2-channel stereo tape deck with Surround Sound

 9.5 cm/s (3-3/4 ips) & 1 7/8ips
 Wow & Flutter: 0.13% at 7-1/2ips
Frequency response (playback): 50Hz to 18,000Hz (± 3dB at 7-1/2 ips)
Frequency response (playback): 50Hz to 15,000 Hz (± 3dB at 3-3/4 ips)
 Distortion (@ 1,000 Hz “0” VU): < 0.7% (7-1/2 ips)
Channel Cross-talk: 52 dB
Track Cross-talk: 65 dB
Signal to Noise Ratio: > 48dB

This is a rare one in that it also does 'Quadraphonic / 4-Channel'. Face is made of beautiful, brushed Aluminum and is in great shape. With the exception of some normal, minor edge chips to the vinyl edge trim, the wood grain vinyl wrapped case is in good condition. Again, we have gone through it inside and out. The entire deck look, performs and sounds great! You won't be disappointed in this one.
All of our restored / refurbished reel to reel decks come with a 7", plastic take-up reel, a 'known good' 7" tape for initial testing of playback, and a 7" tape you can record onto, all to assist you in becoming familiar with the operation / function of your new reel to reel tape deck.

SHIPPED TO TORONTO, CANADA

ü  Our technician has completely gone through and 'Certified' this unit.
(in-fact we had both of our Senior Techs go thru it, one after the other, just to make sure we had 'all the "i's" dotted and all the "T's" crossed)

ü  We have completely and extensively gone through the mechanicals and electronics of this unit.

ü  Entire transport was disassembled down to the chassis, and every mechanical part was disassembled, cleaned, re-lubed and reassembled (this is a VERY difficult deck to work on, especially considering any adjustments to the 'top layer', as the face plate has to remain partially attached while working on it (kind of like only being able to lift the hood a few inches on your car to change the plugs)

ü Tape Tension arms disassembled, cleaned and re-lubed, and their springs adjusted and had fresh 500,000 grade silicone lube gel applied to the Kevlar strings

ü pinch-roller mechanism completely disassembled, cleaned and re-lubed,

ü PR mechanism solenoid mounts adjusted

ü Capstans / flywheels removed, bushings and axels cleaned and re-lubed

ü Capstans burnished

 ü  Rubber pinch rollers have been cleaned and re-conditioned

ü  Brand new MAIN drive belt installed

ü  Brand new counter belt installed

ü Heads have been cleaned and de-magnetized as well as the entire transport.

ü Brakes adjusted on fast wind modes also (optimized for 7" tape. 5" tape will work, but will 'dump' slightly when fast winding to a complete stop)

ü Back tension adjusted on both reel motors.

ü All three motors test perfectly. Following above adjustments, Reel Start and Stop tested at beginning, middle and end of 7" tapes

ü Internal pots, switches and controls cleaned and tested for noise-free function.

ü Sheared 'Mic Input' potentiometer replaced with OEM unit

ü Replaced bent Auto Reverse contact spring

ü New Meter lamps / bulbs installed (originals still worked, but preventative maintenance)

ü We adjusted the VU meters mechanically and electronically w/ factory test tone tapes, as well as the internal playback levels for both directions independently and record levels.

ü Deck has been fully calibrated to factory manual specs, tested, and found to perform like new in all categories

ü Both spindles in perfect alignment.

ü We also adjusted the reel table heights.

ü Heads in great shape as well, with many years of performance left in them.

ü  BOTH direction Playback and Record Head alignment / azimuth was adjusted for peak performance with factory test tone tape and oscilloscope.

ü Both internal speed pots adjusted to 100% accuracy on either speed independently (with pitch control zero'd) (meaning that our 'verified' 1000Hz test tape now plays back at 1000Hz).

ü Adjusted to record at +/-0dB on High Bias Chrome tape at 1kHz and -3dB @ 15kHz and on normal records at 0dB @ 1kHz and -8dB at 15kHz (in other words, it records VERY well)

ü Floor noise measured at <1mv w/ blank tape, L&R

ü This TEAC X-7R functions, plays, and records perfectly (and we really put them through the paces, testing both with well mixed, recently recorded CD material and CD recorded / factory test tones looking for correct head Azimuth and speed accuracy).  (Total time investment in refurb / testing ~ 19 hours between the two techs).

Face is beautiful, beige anodized, aluminum and case is in great condition. Deck looks NEW and works great! 

The TEAC X-7R Stereo Reel to Reel tape deck. Ready to GO! This is one of the few reel to reel decks we get in that make it to our finished page. Great performer. If you're looking for a reel to reel deck to "actually use" here you go. Only about 25 % of the used Reel decks out there can be "practically" restored to working order. This one made it through with flying colors after about 19 hours of bench time.

The deck tests great! Looks and sounds great too! We have completely gone through it. Will play 3", 5" & 7" reels (again, we optimized the braking for 7" reels).

TEAC X-7R Features include:

- 4-Track / 2-Channel head stack / tape format
- 3 Heads for instant monitoring of tape levels while recording
- 3 Motors for trouble free performance (has a lot to do with it still being a viable piece of gear due to less rubber parts)
- Auto-Reverse (when using tape with "auto-reverse" sensing foil) (Recording, forward playback with reverse playback)
- Tri-mode Auto-Reverse
- Bi-Directional recording
- Dual Capstan / Closed Loop Drive System
- IC logic tape transport for "Touch" control
- De-featable +- Pitch control +/-6%
- Dual front mounted 1/4" Microphone inputs

- Dual 1/4" front mounted mic inputs
- Source / Monitor selector
- Output level control
- Dual analog VU level meters
- Tape REC EQ Selector

- Reel size selector
- True “WORLD AC POWER"™ as it will work on both 50 or 60 Hz AC and voltages from 110-240 volts AC


As stated earlier we have completely gone through it cleaning heads and all else, lubing, adjusting, reconditioning pinch rollers and other rubber parts, demagnetizing heads and entire transport and testing everything. Tape speed in both Hi and Lo speed positions have been 'internally' adjusted to 100%, "Dead-On" accuracy using a 1000 Hz test tape for the pitch control in it's 'centered' position. Plays and records Exceptionally well (and we really put them through the paces, testing both with well mixed CD material and CD test tones looking for correct head Azimuth, tape speed accuracy and making test recordings). Pinch rollers and heads all in GREAT condition!!! Face is made of beautiful, black anodized, brushed Aluminum and looks very nice. Very clean and looks near new. Unit looks GREAT!

ü  Our technician has completely gone through and 'Certified' this unit.
(in-fact we had both of our Senior Techs go thru it, one after the other, just to make sure we had 'all the "i's" dotted and all the "T's" crossed)

ü  We have completely and extensively gone through the mechanicals and electronics of this unit.

ü  Entire transport was disassembled down to the chassis, and every mechanical part was disassembled, cleaned, re-lubed and reassembled.

ü pinch-roller mechanism completely disassembled, cleaned and re-lubed,

ü PR mechanism solenoid mounts adjusted

ü Capstans / flywheels removed, bushings and axels cleaned and re-lubed

ü Capstans burnished

 ü  Rubber pinch rollers have been cleaned and re-conditioned

ü  Brand new MAIN drive belt installed

ü Heads have been cleaned and de-magnetized as well as the entire transport.

ü Brakes adjusted on fast wind modes also.

ü Back tension adjusted on both reel motors.

ü All three motors test perfectly. Following above adjustments, Reel Start and Stop tested at beginning, middle and end of 7" and 10.5" tapes

ü Internal pots, switches and controls cleaned and tested for noise-free function.

ü We adjusted the VU meters mechanically and electronically w/ factory test tone tapes, as well as the internal playback levels for both directions independently and record levels.

ü Deck has been fully calibrated to factory manual specs, tested, and found to perform like new in all categories

ü Both spindles in perfect alignment.

ü We also adjusted the reel table heights.

ü Heads in great shape as well, with many years of performance left in them.

ü  BOTH direction Playback and Record Head alignment / azimuth was adjusted for peak performance with factory test tone tape and oscilloscope.

ü Both internal speed pots adjusted to 100% accuracy on either speed independently (with pitch control zero'd) (meaning that our 'verified' 1000Hz test tape now plays back at 1000Hz).

ü Records at +/-0dB on High Bias Chrome tape at 1kHz.

ü This TEAC X-1000R-EE functions, plays, and records perfectly (and we really put them through the paces, testing both with well mixed, recently recorded CD material and CD recorded / factory test tones looking for correct head Azimuth and speed accuracy).  (Total time investment in refurb / testing ~ 18 hours).

Face is made of beautiful brushed aluminum and case is in great condition. Deck looks NEW and works great! 

This is one of my personal favorites! The TEAC X-1000R Stereo Reel to Reel tape deck. Ready to GO! This is one of the few reel to reel decks we get in that make it to our finished page. Great performer. If you're looking for a reel to reel deck to "actually use" here you go. Only about 25 % of the used Reel decks out there can be "practically" restored to working order. This one made it through with flying colors.

The deck tests great! Looks and sounds great too! We have completely gone through it. Will play 3", 5", 7" & 10.5" reels (10.5" reels require optional NAB hub adaptors that we generally have available at their additional cost).

TEAC X-1000R-EE Features include:

- 3 Heads for instant monitoring of tape levels while recording
- 3 Motors for trouble free performance (has a lot to do with it still being a viable piece of gear due to less rubber parts)
- EE (Extra Efficiency) recording capability
- dbx PROFESSIONAL noise reduction
- Tri-mode Auto-Reverse
- Dual Capstan Drive
- IC logic tape transport for "Touch" control
- De-featable +- Pitch control

- Timer Play
- Auto-Spacer for record mode
- 12-Pin optional wired remote port on rear panel (remote not included)
- 5-pin DIN "Dupli Sync" port on rear for "daisy chaining" units together
- Dual speeds at 7.5 ips / 19cms and 3 3/4ips / 9.5 cms
- Separate dual mic and line level controls
- Dual 1/4" front mounted mic inputs
- Source / Monitor selector
- Output level control
- Dual analog VU level meters
- Dual position tape type selector- Sound on Sound function
- Spring loaded tape hub spindles (no need for rubber reel retainers)
- Tape lifter lever for momentary monitoring during fast wind
- Reel size selector
- True “WORLD AC POWER"™ as it will work on both 50 or 60 Hz AC and voltages from 110-240 volts AC


As stated earlier we have completely gone through it cleaning heads and all else, lubing, adjusting, reconditioning pinch rollers and other rubber parts, demagnetizing heads and entire transport and testing everything. Tape speed in both Hi and Lo speed positions have been 'internally' adjusted to 100%, "Dead-On" accuracy using a 1000 Hz test tape for the pitch control in it's 'centered' position. Plays and records Exceptionally well (and we really put them through the paces, testing both with well mixed CD material and CD test tones looking for correct head Azimuth, tape speed accuracy and making test recordings). Pinch rollers and heads all in GREAT condition!!! Face is made of beautiful, black anodized, brushed Aluminum and looks very nice. Very clean and looks near new. Unit looks GREAT!

 VINTAGE KEF STEREO SPEAKERS
KEF 105.4
'Reference Series'
HOME AUDIO SPEAKERS
 #... 1491A & B
 Circa 1980-84
MADE IN ENGLAND
SOLD 10/4/16
SHIPPED TO NEW YORK

KEF 105.4's, are easily contenders for some of the best speakers we've had for overall balance, volume / output and power handling capabilities. These have most everything I look for in a home audio speaker such as 'balance', detail, power handling, accuracy, punch and 'largeness of sound'. HUGE in both size and SONICS! Great for most genres of music. 3-Way / 4-Driver, pseudo 'acoustic suspension' cabinet design (actually what they KEF calls "Nuevo Bass Loading Technique". Just a great 'all-around' speaker for home audio listening or recording ‘studio monitor’ use. Just as happy with a medium-small size amp as they are with amps of larger size. A very interesting feature of these speakers is a 'sighting' lens / LED arrangement that allows you to rotate / tilt the Midrange / Tweeter units on either X or Y axis to perfectly 'aim' them at a 'critical' listening area.
 Our speaker tech has completely gone through and 'Certified' these. Speakers were entirely disassembled. Crossover components and circuit boards were 'damped' to 'proactively' reduce any possible 'sympathetic' component vibrations. He also 're-attached' the 'anti-resonance' pads in the upper driver housings. He also installed fresh felt bumpers under the mid / high housings. Our tech has completely tested all drivers, then re-assembled with their original and adequate gasketing material under all driver frames to further reduce any possibilities of vibration or acoustic anomalies, and tested with recorded material, PN and swept them with our AF generator from 20-3kHz. Following, of course our normal barrage of 'pink noise' and an AF sweep from 3k down to 20Hz, our demo cuts ran the gamut from Dire Straits, 'Brothers in Arms', TLC 'Fan Mail', Allison Kraus and Union Station, Nickelback, a digital recording of a cathedral pipe organ, our 'Usher Speaker' demo CD (no not that Usher), 'Friday Night in San Francisco', with Al Dimeola, John McLaughlin and Paco DeLucia, Nickel Creek's, "When in Rome" from the CD, "Why Should the Fire Die" and a few others, all digitally recorded and some 'DDD'.
Incredible power handling characteristics. They are able to handle "power" MUCH better than your average speaker. Not simply referring to their wattage rating, but just the way they perform at higher power / volume levels without "falling apart" sonically. We 'stood' on them HARD with our test Hafler 225 watt power amp.
Cabinets cleaned, then had a coat of Howards 'Restore-A-Finish' and 'Feed-n-Wax' rubbed into the 'real' teak wood veneer and are in great shape. Grills including grill frames and cloth in great condition as well with only very minor wear. All 8 original swivel castors in fine shape. Overall, the speakers look and perform great!

 KEF 105.4 SPEAKER FEATURES:

 - 3-Way, 4-Driver Acoustic Suspension / Infinite Baffle Bass cabinet design 
 - Dual 8" / 200mm, 'Bextrene' cone woofer, with non-deteriorating Butyl rubber surround.
- 4.25" / 110mm Polymer Midrange in separate, individual polymer housing
- 1" / 25mm KEF 'T33'  Fabric Dome Tweeter in separate, individual polymer housing
- Very well designed and built, '19-Element' internal  cross-over   

- Overpowering protection built-in
- LED 'Optimum Listening Area' indicator'
- Speaker input connectors are heavy duty, 3-Way, binding posts
- 'Matched Pair' Paired to spec within 0.5 dB of each other on all aspects, per KEF 105.4 brochure.
 
 KEF 105.4 SPECIFICATIONS:
 Frequency Response: 55-20,000Hz +/-2dB at 2m on design axis or 30-30,000Hz -10dB
 Efficiency: ~86 dB 1w @ 1m
 Maximum Output 'program material': ~108 dB 1w @ 1m
 Nominal Impedance: 8Ω each
 Cross-over frequencies: @ 150, 400 & 2kHz
 Recommended Power Amp Rating: 40-200 watts per channel
Max Power Rating: 200 watts per channel of 'music / program' material
Protection: 'S-STOP" The system is protected against any continuous or intermittent fault conditions which produce input signals not greater than 70V peaks from DC to 50kHz
  
Again, we have completely tested all drivers at individually applicable frequencies with a sweep generator looking for any irregular anomalies in either the drivers or cabinet structure integrity. Very nice looking REAL 'Teak' wood, veneer cabinets. Cabinets and veneer overall in excellent shape and look great (wood under grills darker, than exposed wood due to age of finish and exposure to ambient light). Both grill frames and their cloth in fine shape with no breaks or tears.
These have most everything we look for in a home audio speaker such as 'balance', detail, power handling, accuracy, punch and 'largeness of sound'. Bass response was 'deeper' than about 70% of the speakers we audition, based on the ability to reproduce one of our very difficult 'test cuts'. They are able to handle "power" MUCH better than your average speaker. Not simply referring to their wattage rating, but just the way they perform at higher power / volume levels without "falling apart" sonically. We 'stood' on them HARD with our test Hafler power amp.
Also, again, these look great having the above mentioned work and are ready to go!
Each measures 37" h x 13.75" w x 15" d and weighs 45 lbs unpacked. Includes our 90 day warranty (excluding problems due to under / over powering)

VINTAGE
RECTILINEAR III "TALL BOYS"
STEREO SPEAKERS
Circa 1968-73
MADE IN THE USA!
SOLD 5/18/16
SHIPPED TO ARIZONA


Our speaker tech has completely gone through and 'Certified' these.  We have completely tested all drivers. Original mids' were 'questionable' on the 'audio sweep' so the Midrange's were replaced with a pair of 'originals' we had 'rat-holed' here at Oak Tree Vintage. All drivers were removed and reinstalled into cabinet with ‘added’ gasketing material under their frames to further reduce any possibilities of vibration or acoustic anomalies. Both Mid and Top End attenuators had there contacts burnished and were cleaned internally. Next, as always they were tested with both recorded material, PN 20-20k and swept them with our AF generator from 20-10kHz. Then came our standard, 'abusive' test recordings. These speakers are ready to go!

Rectilinear 'III Tall Boys' FEATURES INCLUDE:

- 4-way, 6-Driver, Bass Reflex speaker design
-12" Low Frequency Driver (woofer) (Jensen)
- 5" 'Philips" Midrange w/ 'whizzer cone' & w/ AlNiCo magnets
- 2x 2.5" 'Danish made Peerless' Tweeters w/ AlNiCo magnets
- 2x 2" 'Danish made Peerless' Tweeters w/ AlNiCo magnets
- 2" Tuned port for extended bass response
- Top-end Attenuator

Rectilinear 'III Tall Boys' ORIGINAL SPECIFICATIONS / SPECS:

Frequency Response: 22-18,500Hz +- 3dB
Nominal Impedance: 8Ω
Cross-over frequencies: @ 500Hz, 3kHz & 11kHz
Recommended Power amplifier rating: 20-100 watts

From a 1967 Stereo Review Julian Hirsh had this to say about the Rectilinear III, "Over a period of several months, we have had the opportunity to compare it with a number of other speakers that can 'outpoint' the Rectilinear III on any "individual" characteristic-frequency range, smoothness, distortion, efficiency, dispersion or transient response. However, none of the speakers combine ALL of these properties in such desirable proportions as the Rectilinear III", and  in a 1972 Stereo Review, he had this to say about the Rectilinear III, "...the two samples we have tested are among the best-sounding and most 'natural' speakers we have heard"
This pair actually has 'Jensen' built 12" woofers from the factory (my personal Rectilinear III-High-Boys do not. Just FYI.) These are great sounding 12" 4-way speakers. All drivers feature a non-deteriorating cloth surrounds. The driver compliment consists of one heavy duty 12" woofer, one 4" midrange with hi-mid whizzer cone, two 2.5" cone tweeters and 2 1/5" cone super tweeters. Bass is enhanced via a 2" tuned port.
System input is via binding-post / banana jacks. The input plate also features midrange and hi-freq attenuators, and the "MADE IN THE USA" plate. The entire enclosure is damped with batting. The cabinets are a beautiful American Walnut with very nice grain featured throughout and are in near new condition. These have great efficiency, but are still able to handle bigger power. Huge bass and crystal clear highs with just enough mids. These things -ROCK! I know..I have a pair in my personal 'speaker collection'. They measure 35" tall x 18" wide x 12" deep and each weighs 70 lbs unpacked. Comes with an 'e-copy' /pdf download of the Rectilinear Owners manual, as well as a few 'e-copies' of original brochures. Includes our 90 day warranty (excluding problems due to under / over powering)!
