I'll probably burn some more holes into my brain from all of the lead fumes. I'll have the best knockoff reference system around when I'm done.Quote:

More vintage goodness. :stalks:
It's just arrived.
Ebay purchase - it worked until recently apparently, but now tends to pop fuses instead.
Just for decoration, but I'll get it looked at eventually.

I've never even heard of SABA. It look cool.
Interesting, and long, history - from Wiki --
SABA (Schwarzwälder Apparate-Bau-Anstalt) is a German electronics company founded in 1923 at Triberg im Schwarzwald (Black Forest), present-day Baden-Württemberg. SABA started as a clock-making company, then became a radio manufacturer, and a few years later a record label. In 1968, SABA sold the majority of the company to GTE, an American telephone company. In 1980 the company was purchased by Thomson SA and integrated as a separate business unit.

A lot of cool looking gear!

I was just looking through the same stuff. I think some of it may have been rebranded and sold under another name here. The all in ones look really familiar down to the Dual tables, but I can't recall what name was on them.

Do a lot of fullrange speakers.
Hmmm - I can see why you would want to keep this as an objet d'art. Nice find Jerry.

Heh heh - JBL headphones. :rock:
£300 rrp - I paid rather less. ;)
Actually, a lot like the JBL L110 Monitor speakers I used to own they are excellent, and not just for rock, but for any music.
OK, these have a bit of a bass boost - but well short of Beats level atrocities. Just a bit of added weight.
Quite clear and precise, with deeep fairly solid bass.
A little rolled off at the top, I think. Which allows them to be played seriously loud without pain. Lacking a little sparkle at the top, but very listenable over the long haul.
Not the ultimate is resolution, but still very good.
Amazingly cumfy.
I'm going to enjoy some time with these. :)
They have a built-in and thankfully switch-offable DSP function for that LIVE sound. :scratch:
As most of the reviews attest, that is best avoided most of the time.
In 'passive' mode they are very fine indeed. For Dream Theater @11 or string quartets.
