Thoughts on a McMurdo Silver Masterpiece VI Speaker
#53

I don't think that the audiophools have much interest in the power supply/amplifier chassis in these things since they are mono and have no controls, it's mostly that the 18'' Jensens with the concentric mounted tweeter have a cult following. Why they have a thing for Jensen speakers I don't know? They did make some excellent speakers at the high end but they most a lot of cheap 4'', 5" , and 6'' ones used in AC/DC radios too. Anyone thinking that they are going to get higher fidelity sound out of a 70 year old electrodynamic is kidding themselves, it won't sound bad but it won't sound any better then a P.M dynamic costing a fraction of the price.

Arran
