    I sure hope for the sake of your turntable that the one on the left doesn't get hit and fall over. Looks sketchy to me. :o

    Only have about 1” underneath the speaker on either side unsupported by the speaker below it, and both speakers are the same depth. No kids or pets here either.

    I’m gonna be getting some proper stands soon.

    scha-weet.
    Judging by the logos, those are relatively early ones.

    Loves me some ads/Braun loudspeakers -- then and now. Couldn't afford them then, though.

    ca. 1975 judging by a pro review I found.

    Pretty interesting. There is a whole thread here on this. 38 Hz - 25kHz with crossover at 1,750Hz 12dB slope. Solid walnut cabinet with walnut veneers. Do you have a picture of the back of that Peerless?

    I added a pair of Jennings Research Contrara to the stable today. Gorgeous speakers. A friend of mine was going to donate them to GW. I said no your not!!! He gave them to me and refused payment. He said all drivers work. I'll open them up at a later time to check them out. I didnpop the Peerless out and its a 7510. 751031.

    I didn't do anything to my stereo directly yet, but I took a lot of measurements and got my wife's sign off to change the layout of the listening room.
    We currently have all the records on a side wall, which pushes the whole stereo off center and causes a slight wandering image that drifs to the left towards the records.

    I'll be relocating all the vinyl to the back wall, allowing the stereo to shift to the center of the room and should serve as a massive rear wall diffuser.

    This likely won't get done for a few weeks because moving 800 records even 10 feet is a pretty big undertaking. But I'm excited to hear what this change will sound like.

    Now that warmer weather has finally entered, I moved the FW J2 from the main listening room,to the much cooler “Pit”. The J2 generates some serious heat! The FW F5 is much cooler in comparison. So until A/C season is over, the amp swap will remain in place.

    I wouldn't argue with some pictures. Happy listening.

    Thanks! I purchased some chrome furniture legs from epay, and attached them to bamboo cutting boards. I think it ran me about $60, all in to make 2.

    Same sound signature. Just bigger everything.

    Actually, the biggest immediate impact is at lower volumes. Just seems huge still at very moderate levels.

    I have a very large room to fill, so it’s what I expected based on the 2’s.

    That makes buying "blind" much easier. You know as you go up the the line,you will get more of what you had. Nice room! And yes,it looks like a very big space.

    Got a TV stand for the TV so I could raise the TV and put the 703 in front of it. Also moved the Music Hall A70.2 integrated amp to where it was and rearranged other equipment. Still have to find a place for the chair next to the fireplace. It will go to another room. We still need to hang pictures and get more furniture for the new house as it's a long way from being finished. Also going to add a mantle above the fireplace.
