Hi All,

A pair of LX66's have come up local for a very fair a reasonable price are they worth buying i know to check them for foam rot but still not much online about them any thoughts made from 87 to 92

They look pretty impressive. I think you should definitely check them out.

We are buying them Monday morning - Cheap enough to grab them made in demark from 87 to 92 - watch this space -

Interesting .

These have cone tweeters don't they? I'm not sure they're technically up there with the later better JBLs. But they might still have a nice vintage sound.

No, they have metal dome tweeters, titanium 25mm. I wouldn't expect them to sound 'vintage' in any way.

Will probably be fussy about the amplification though.

Right you are I was thinking of the L66. I'd be interested in your thoughts on them Dan.

No thoughts on these ones we didn't buy them in the end 4 woofer foams were rotted other parts were missing too both terminal plates upon testing suspension on the cones their was no movement frozen solid so they were fried - Great shame onwards and upwards

Never mind Dan, better luck next time .

Have you ever tried KEF Corellis? They'd put a smile on your face, I'm on my third set.
