Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone had any involvement/knowledge of these speakers since I have had a pair since 1995.
Bought from Secher Audio from George Secher in Highfield Rd Camberwell.
Have operated flawlessly for me over the years and wondering what would be an equivalent competitor nowadays.
Some specs:
Excalibur main speakers Sub-woofers: Twin carbon-fibre coned 160mm long-throw woofers, Kapton voice coils, rubber surrounds, Kevlay spider assembly, hand-doped with a onecoat compound Bass-midrange 160mm critically damped curvilinear paper cone with rubber surround Tweeter: Double-chambered with aluminium dome and voice coil assembly with diffuser Crossover: Incorporates polypropelene non-ageing, selfhealing signal pass capacitors with ultra-low loss characteristics, zero-distortion air-cored inductors, 3-way asymmetric, heavy duty cabling Enclosure: 60 litre bass reflex filled with long-haired sheep wool, heavy 3-way binding post connection, high density MDF board Frequency response: 34Hz–22Khz ±3dB Sensitivity: 91 dB/watt, on-axis @ 1 metre Nom. impedance: 4 Ohms Rec.amp power: max 150 watts RMS Dimensions (mm): H 965, W 230, D 395. Weight 25kgs
Drivers were: Seas tweeter,
Audax midrange and woofers.
My stuff: Parasound P3/A23 Rega RP3 with2MBronze and other upgrades, Lounge Audio LCR MkIII p/stage, Marantz SA8005 SACD player, Audio principe interconnects(between amp/preamp) Benchmark series 400 interconnect from preamp to source. Audio Principe speaker cable.
Thanks,
