Guy Landau Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Great speakers. These are the "Super Reds" with the extra15 inch Utah woofer in a sealed box. I've used the smaller "Big Regs" for years and they were some of my favorite speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khorn51 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 One of my all time favorite studio moniters many many top albums were masterd through BIG REDS. I Have been lookng for one Big red for awile now to make a pair out of my solo big red, But three altec reds would be cool with the supers right left and big red center.. I have a older set of vintage altec 604b moniters I use to mix when I want that 50/60 sound. Most of the Beatles if not all were mixed on altec not a bad speaker at all. I just got the Book recroding the beatles they sure love the altecs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie dave Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 Guy, I was thinking of you when I posted these. I remembered you and another member had gone after the last one on EBay a while back. and that he ended up winning them. I just hope this set is not tainted by spurious bidding like most of the significant speakers in the last six months. The Hartsfields in Florida dropped 5K in bids after a couple losers figured out what the reserve price was. A Metregon and a Paragon both had dummy bid runup/withdrawals as well, and a set of Tannoys had two shillers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Landau Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Dave, Thanks for thinking of me. Anyway, I've sold my "big reds" just before I moved back to Israel. I'm using a pair of 604K's which IMO, sound a little bit better. The last pair of original "super reds" that were sold on ebay, reached over $2500. I guess that these will sell for $2-3K but shipping these would be very costly so it might affect the final price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
