Beveridge speakers-does anyone still use them?

oooh You know how to hurt a guy but thanks for your congratulations! Bob

Best of luck with your wife and child, I dunno about older stats, but I love my Innersounds!

Last time I checked Beveridge is, indeed, back in business. I think I have seen exactly ONE pair of used Beveridge speakers for sale in all the years I've been following used gear sales. An active speaker this old might be an albatross due to reconditioning costs.

I had heard the Beveridge Model 2's as well, many years ago and now own Martin Logans.If memory serves me right,you didn't need to fuss with a sweet spot.You just had a wall to wall sound field.I beleive the acoustic lens radiator faced each speaker toward the side and they were located very close to the walls of the listening room.You had this huge sweet spot that 2 people could easily listen to the soundfield together .The horizontal dispersion was very wide as well as vertical dipersion since they were so tall.

I have seen serveral pairs of the 2+2Ws for sale, as well as the 3s. Additionally, the Koss electrostats, models 1 and 2 show up from time to time as well as the Dayton Wright XG-8 series, which require a little more commitment as they need to be recharged periodically with carbon hexaflouride gas (check with your local welding shop for the correct spelling). The Infinity Servo-Statics are great and show up now and then. The Infinity 2000A are great hybrids, though they are let down by the Philips midrange units; the JanZen stat tweeters are great. I have enjoyed all of the above in friends systems and owned the Daytons. Many love the Quads, both 57 and 63, but they're not my cuppa. Perhaps less enjoyable, though less finicky, are the Acoustats and the Audiostatics, which I have also owned long, long ago. Most are really not for headbangers, except for the Daytons, which can rip your skull off.
