    They would look really good on either side of the pulpit.

    They look real neat....and very mint. I would pick them up just to find out.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Bozak's are neutral sounding speakers. Neutral to the "unexciting" point. The tweeters are good to about 18,000hz, and don't expect much in the way of imaging. I've had a couple pair of B-302 Century's, and a pair of Tempo's. They make good collectors items if you have the room.

    I'm thinking April 1957. Last three or four #'s of the serial number on the big placard picture tells the story. That is how Bozak asssigned serial #'s. My Century's (now part of the squadron lounge system) were Feb 68.

    The Orion Book has them manufactured only in the 60's and 70's, but that book is wrong on a regular basis. I had a pair of Bozak B-310's. They had one 12" woof per cabinet. Blue Book has them with 4.

    Here's a nice big old garage speaker......my speaker, my garage. Large pair of Electro-Voice "Marquis".

    If you ever want to get rid of those Electro-Voice "Marquis" George, I want first dibs! Unless you get one of those collector geeks to give you way too much for them then, by all means, rob them blind!
