Over the last few years, we’ve restored and retro-engineered several sets of speakers, ranging from compact bookshelfs to full sized 70lb monsters. Here’s a showcase of some of them.

Grundig Lautsprecher Box IV
I’ve wanted to own and restore a set of these speakers since forever. And I finally got the chance. I definitely overpaid for them, and they were the higher end model that included a vacuum tube amplifier inside each. Definitely the earliest powered speaker I’ve ever known of. The date I found in them was sometime in 1959. I wanted to replace the speaker cloth, but none of my sources had anything nearly as cool as the original, so we left the grime and patine as it was and gave them a new set of carbon fiber woofer speakers with AMT tweeters as well as a power amplifier with our custom tuning. They sold before I could even think up how much should we ask for them. Fortunately though, they went to an amazing family that also owns one of our Relikcs Timbre consoles in Omaha.
