AllenLowe Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 the dismantling of my studio begins (don't cry for me; this is part of my Maine escape plan); a Pair of Brentworth Sound Lab Type 1 speakers with the little bass modules which, I am told, are essential. I love these speakers; have mixed all my sessions and restored about 3000 recordings on them; if it sounds good on these babies it sounds good everywhere, I have found; of course, these are audiophile things, and audiophiles are notorious crazy (you know who you are); but I have the best ears of anyone I know (yes, that sounds vain, but I have really good ears; one of my view virtues) and I like 'em. A lot. but here's the rub; these suckers are expensive (about $5500 new); I will sell them for $2500; they are also BIG and HEAVY - so - if you want 'em it might be best to come pick them up - I'm in Maine - and I cannot even imagine packing these babies for UPS, USPS, FEDEX, or anything else. I figure it's a long shot; I may up trading them in; but would prefer cash - email me at allenlowe5@gmail.com and here's a link about them: http://www.northcountryaudio.com/systemscomponents-of-merit/components-of-particular-me/brentworth-sound-lab-speake.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Sensitivity 100 dB!!! Holy shit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I take it that's a good thing? by the way, I will add that I am also willing to donate this thing to a non-profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yeah, it's pretty incredible. That's about as high an efficiency as you'll see in a loudspeaker. It means they are super easy to drive. Usually speakers average somewhere around 90dB. My Dynaudio X12's, for example, have a sensitivity of 86dB.

AllenLowe Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 well, I give up on trying to sell some over-priced speakers; next, thinking of putting my PSB bookshelves up for sale.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Are the PSB's what you recent purchased to use for mixing? Were they not adequate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 love my PSBs but I am consolidating my studio to mix in a tight little circle; going to get the PSB powered speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
