Townshend Glastonbury II loudspeakers in Stratford, Connecticut For Sale

Designed as a no compromise full range loudspeaker (goes down to 27Hz) system that adheres to the original concept of High Fidelity. The cabinet (steel lined with plaster) is very heavy (88lbs) and very rigid, whilst the sound radiating (aluminium) cone and ribbon are very low mass (extremely light) to give the most accurate, realistic & neutral sound.
The Glastonbury II are a heavy (40kgs) speaker. They consisted of a black aluminium shell that was lined with carpet. A plaster was then poured in to build up the thickness to 1 1/2 inches. This was time consuming & required six pours. Also a long drying time. On top of that was added 3/4 inch of underlay. This was done to make the cabinet inert.
The speaker uses a Aluminium bass/mid driver & a ribbon tweeter. There is also a front reflex port. The speakers were just under a meter tall. Integral spikes.
The speakers were a revealing speaker and can sound stunning in the right conditions. I have heard them sounding very good on a number outings. They do need a good front end & quality amp. I have heard these on the end of a Rock Reference & EAR amps.
sensitivity 89db/w/m. 100 watts each
