Saw an ad for some 511B but realized the sale was actually for complete speakers. A few emails and a phone conversation later (as well as some manual labor to load and unload)....these are now home.
The story goes that the owner was an engineer from Princeton who wanted a pair of speakers in the 80’s. He worked on the space shuttle and decided to buy and read the loudspeaker cookbook (or how to design loudspeakers book). The cabinets are made from teak wood plywood with mahogany corners. The pictures do not do them any justice....simply gorgeous!
The components are 807-8a symbiotic mated to 511 horns, JBL 2235H woofers and Altec N500E crossovers. The woofers have deteriorated foam.
Getting together a game plan but I’m in love with these cabinets.
