Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

Thanks Jaybo. I hav'nt listened to enough speakers to identify the "east coast" sound but if the AR Classic are it, I like it.

I remember the salesman who sold them to me saying that AR was hoping to sell the Classic series big time in Japan. The problem was the speaker was shaped like a Japanese infant coffin so it did not go over well there (oops).

Enjoy those Cassics.

the best laid plans.....when i say 'east coast' i guess what i'm refering to is a flat response from top to bottom. no exageration of any one frequency. someone has a pair of limited 3.'s on the gon right now. one thing that i've noticed over the years with acoustic suspension designs is they are not fussy about electronics. Most of the AR alumni(a laundry list of great designers) believed that a well designed pair of loudspeakers would give one the flexibility of spending less on other components and still obtain true high fidelity. imagine a group of brilliant audiophiles concerned about people spending too much. its a plot for a science fiction movie.

Very proud to share my admiration for the Piega C-10 Limiteds....I've had them here at the Love Shack for only 6 months, but they've been 6 SMILING months.. Kind of a Raquel Welch, (in her days/present)speaker seduction each evening. I believe the C-10 ltds are an Alien being :-) brent

CROWN ES224 and/or CROWN ES212, whether made by CROWN or RTR.
I'm trying to "keep them going". May have to replace panels and power supply to one or two 224's. Fortunately I put these parts away some time ago.

I keep looking for more, bu, sadly,t there aren't many out there. Though recently ebay had a pair of 212's (in Australia).
