im a HUGE fan of old school low-fi type speakers

I have some brand new cerwin vega ve12's, and some old coral bx-multi1200's that my dad bought brand new back in the day when he lived in japan, i can hardly find any speakers like this anywhere!! does anyone else make these style anymore.?

do any of you guys know who still makes these and where i can find them??

not to my knowledge... most companies have moved away from manufacturing speakers of that style for the following reasons:

1) better fidelity with smaller drivers
2) size
3) cost
4) appearence

you can find very large floorstanding speakers that have outstanding fidelity, but it will cost you! The B&W 802D comes to mind. Last time I checked, it was $12,000.

But, I do believe KLH also makes speakers that are of the type you are looking for.

Not low-fi, but how about a pair of Klipsch La Scalas?

Thanks Gav. I've always wanted a pair of those for the basement. My wife would have a heart attack if I brought those home, though.

Are the LaScalas huge or just real big?

If they are in line with the Khorns I've seen, I couldn't imagine getting them down a flight of stairs, let alone back UP!

In case of a trip / fall, the guy on the bottom would be crushed.

I think the Khorns are actually bigger Leo, but they both weigh about the same. Having one fall on you would definitely ruin your day.
