johnellis Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 These are wonderful LF cabinets. Someone on the board should bid on them. If wasn't already over stocked with gear I would definately bid on them myself. Anyway, just thought I would pass it along. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3076871571&category=3284 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sounded great. And yes, they were in fact something to write home about!! At least the ones I heard anyway. IF these Fraziers were the Dixielanders, they SURE are someting to write home about. The Dixielanders are outrageously musical. I find them to be a FAR cry from the shrill, wiry, squaky, wood colored sound of many Klipsch "Heritage" speakers i have owned. To MY ears, the Fraziers sound like Music, the Klipsch sound like noise. Altecs and JBL sound better to my ears then Klipsch, and so do Frazier Dixielanders. And, YES my child, I HAVE had tubes on Klipsch, and chip amps, and sonic bullshit, etc, etc. I DID like the OLD Fortes, but they were a little on the edge for my tastes. CF 4 version 1 was good too, but needed tone controls too much for my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems someone did a search on Frazier and didn't look too much closer. [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnellis Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Yep, they were Dixilanders. Two pair in fact. I'll never forget because the final bid was like $102.00 or so. After all these years I'm still mad about it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all these years I'm still mad about it!!! I would buy every Dixielander I could get at that price. Shoot, the Altec 816 A compression driver and horn has to be worth near that alone ? Many do not know about these, but word is getting out. They have a different :soul: then most Klipsch. Klipsch has a more west coast sound, these are more east coast. A different perspective, to be sure. I much prefer a more laid back sound myself, more east coast. The Dixielanders are devoid of low bass, and the highest highs. But what they do reproduce, for a high efficiency speaker, they do pretty well. An overlooked design, IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
