Beautiful! How do they sound? Can you describe them?

They have that 1950s/early 1960s furniture look that some speakers did (like old Bozak speakers).

I'll pause the Bengals/ Steelers game to share my thoughts, Chris. I was at Chris's place on Friday to finally listen to his new speakers. They sound fantastic! A to die for midrange that is lifelike. Natural is the key word in describing them. Single driver does not provide a large amount of bass but Chris has them in his family room that is open to his kitchen, front hall and stairway so that is a huge area to try and fill. We listened to them thru his Montille and Aurieges but I brought along my Cortese as well. The Cortese opened up the top end and provided more detail thru-out. Acoustical music is off the charts. Don't buy these if you listen to ACDC. I'm pushing Chris to finish off his unfinished basement to provide a proper environment for these speakers to really shine. I'm a woodworker by profession and they are absolutely beautiful in construction and finish. Chris's set up is wonderful and he makes a mean espresso!
 
Dale. Just curious to know how you compare with the O/96 ?

Some one can post the driver behind the grille ?

Thanks

Dale-When I read the sentence where you said you are pushing Chris to finish off his unfinished basement followed by you saying that you are a woodworker by profession, I thought you were offering to come over and help Chris finish off his unfinished basement. ;)

They are not as dynamic and do not produce the soundstage the O/96s do. The A23's do provide a wonderful musical experience that is quite special on simple acoustics and vocals. I would say the O/s are a more versatile speaker. Being a single driver speaker the A23's are limited in their design but if you use them the way they are intended you will be rewarded. Chris's system is well suited to the 755's and sounds wonderful.

I would most definitely help Chris with his basement once I have finished renovating my own kitchen. Chris just needs to pull the trigger and get started. He will have a wonderful listening room when it is done
 
Dale has given me loads of advice about my basement and has offer his help. Very generous!

Just listening to the Beatles vinyl MONO box set on the a23 755a's and they sound great.

I really like the NEW mono Rubber Soul, even with my tsd-15 Stereo cart. Just picked up Sgt. Pepper, but have yet to give it a spin. I would love to hear these with a comparable mono cartridge. Thanks guys, let's do it again next year.
