Listen to Historic Speakers - from 1924 to 1944 - Part 2

[td1238]

Again, several speakers sound as though they are either mis-adjusted or over-driven.

[AustrailianIchigo]

am i the only one that wants to take a pair of those beautiful Henrey Magnos speakers out on a date? vintage audio equipment really is so romantic after all.

[heresMATEO]

Wheres The BASS?

[bsmeets87]

I bet if you play some drum and bass on these speakers, all you will hear is the drum.

[handsomemikeG]

2:29 = shit design

[1000bassnut]

lol it is old and shit but still wish i had them

[TheDrumDJ]

Nice Speakers. I wish,Ihad one of these. Are they very expensive,ive you want to buy them today???

[SubwooferBox1000]

jaybee15100 closed his account 2 monthes ago. i know that cuz i'm friends with him

[packardnut]

Very Nice speakers! Not that I have to tell you this, but, I would check into having them reconed. They will have better tone and clarity.

[mraiwa1000]

I like the one at: 4:39.

[rikzel]

this speaker was when they bought them €100,- per one!

[Emanuel69martins]

6:00 that speaker, was the beginning of the sub for cars xD

[verbleman]

This is why nobody bothered to buy iPods back then.

[FalloutFanBoy101]

DO A BASS TEST ON THOSE FUCKERS!!!!

[DjResR]

On a second speaker there seem to be something between voice coil and magnet, that's why it does sound like this. I have experimented with a lot of soviet era speakers and most of doing like this has some stuff, mostly iron dust, between voice coil and magnet causing scratching sound with low frequencies. Nice collection, thanks for upload.

[borismontoya136]

@jaybee15100 What did you think -_-

[Emman206]

@jaybee15100 thats cuz their old ass hell

[Vamishk]

bass test

[parlophonman]

Thank you very much for sharing this interesting loudspeaker collection, it really is a great pleasure to watch!

[MrTpengineer]

What mamoth amp had top power the first speaker? looks like it would be 300 watts at 1 ohm at least! Judging by the size of the coil, layers, and windings.

[MrFrankHeffley]

number 3 is SO quiet!

[MrFrankHeffley]

did you repair it?

[histelek]

no, it has a permanent magnet with a coil, a telephone-system

[tartupets]

The henry mangos were the first "boombox" concepts. A handle and a pretty compact design...could use some finetuning and a phaseplug, but..my god.

[kanoonnarak]

[svtcontour]

Thanks for the wonderful video giving a look back. Great to see and hear them working!

[Drummer2k]

That Henry Magnos had one heck of a sound! I was quite impressed by the high end extension it had! What was the size of the speaker?

[histelek]

The Henry Magnos is a 15inch speaker, total dimensions [cm]: 39x41x22, the magnet has 8,5x16(d) cm

[Drummer2k]

@histelek Wow! Very cool! Thanks!

[douro20]

Many of these old speakers were made to be practical and not for reproducing music. Many of the better speakers of that era were huge horns, like RCA cinema speakers.

[openbaffle3]

Thank you for letting us hear those rare old speakers.

They are all interesting. Some are very attractive.

Is the music played as old as the speakers?

[histelek]

Thanks for your comment. The music seems to be recorded this days, but I don`t know when it was played first...

[czolgista999]

Those pance Phiips speakers still can be found but now they are quite expensive !

[DusteDdekay]

A tip, instead of rotating over the top (thus turning the camera up-side down, which is very confuzing to watch) then simply go around the speaker and film it from the front/from with the camera at it's correct position, it's very interesting to watch the old speakers and I'd like to see them filmed better. :) You still get a thumbs up for having such a fine collection.

[artifactingreality]

thumbed down because you spend 90% of the video showing the back of the speakers and only 10% showing the front and even then its at a weird frustrating angle. Why can't we see what they look like head on?

[histelek]

For my taste a speaker from behind is much more interesting, but the front and back views could be more balanced...

[Vintagecomputer]

Excellent work!

A tip, I suggest playing old songs and new songs. I don't know the quality of the original recording of the music, so it is difficult to see/hear the quality of the speaker.

Thank you!

[histelek]

Thanks - The original quality is always the same, music is from the same CD. But: the speakers are not all restored and repaired, they don´t sound all, as they could do.

[olanzip]

I really enjoyed watching your videos. Do have vintage Lowther speakers?

[histelek]

Thank you very much! Sorry, I have no Lowther speakers.

[jks2]

nice ones! the second one doesn't sound 100%

[histelek]

I haven´t yet repaired all of them, some sound not good...

[AllAmericanFiveRadio]

Thanks for posting! Dont get to see many of the European speaker/horns and working too. It is very interesting to hear what historic speakers sound like. They all have amazing designs.

[histelek]

Thanks!

[SpeakerFreak95]

nice presentations.
