Beveridge speakers-does anyone still use them?

I have owned or listened to many vintage classic speakers. I have never heard these speakers. About 15 years ago I almost bought a pair of the model 2's. What are your reaction to these speakers? Are they still available used? How would they compare to modern electrostatic speakers like Soundlabs and Martin Logans? Could they operate today without significant restoration? I have heard that the manufacturer's son is remanufacturing these speakers at nosebleed prices.

Today is the due date for my wife to give birth to our child (no labor yet!)so I am looking for something to distract me! Any distractions welcome! Bob

I just got back from the hospital for a quick shower. I would like to thank everyone for their responses of Congratulations. Brian would you mind telling Karl since I haven't had time to contact him. Bob

I have brought back this old thread and my daughter who was just being born is now 3! I now have the Beveridge 2sw speakers and I really enjoy them. I was wondering if anyone could comment on the differences between this speaker and the original model 2. I realize that the 2sw has more volume and bass. I remember hearing in the past people saying the original model 2 was even better than the later 2sw. Has anyone made the comparison? Bob

Hello Baranyi,

Congrats on your Beveridges! I had no idea. Very cool speakers indeed. Living legends.

How do you have them set up? What are you driving them with?

Thanks,

Duke

Just for fun I thought I would update this 10 year old thread. I just showed my daughter who turned 10 this week this thread. I have Beveridge 2's in my living room and they make beautiful music!. I hope everyone has a great Labor Day Weekend.
