Trying to get info on old speakers
Back in the 70's I bought two bass reflex type speakers in Manhattan.
I don't remember if they were 1x15" or 1x18" in each (probably 15). I play guitar, and originally were using these with my 200 watt Marshall Major amp head. Eventually I bought an array of piezo's and used these speakers as part of our PA system. Anyway....I can't find any info on the company, and am really just curious. The brand on them was H.E.A.D. which stood for High Energy Audio Design. That's all I remember....can't find a thing on them, though I suspect I am missing something. Thanks!!! |

Suggest you wander around Manhattan for a while asking people for HEAD. Eventually you might get lucky ;-0 geoff |

Did you buy them from a guy in a white van? It's not quite THAT bad. But the barriers to starting a company making guitar cabinets is pretty low. Back in the seventies there were probably thousands of guys making cabinets in their basements for sale at local music shops. Some of those guys made it big (sometimes under different names than the one they used originally). Most didn't. Same thing goes for hi-fi speakers... except that today there are STILL thousands of guys making hi-fi speakers in their basements and selling them. If you ever find out the story behind the "Murray-Carson Cavity Resonator," I'd love to know. Likely it was a guy in a basement making them, and I saw a pair in the seventies and haven't heard of them since. --scott "Any idiot can design a speaker and unfortunately many do." -- Dick Pierce -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

The company was High Energy Audio Design, and I actually bought them from a legitimate store on 48th Street, not Manny's or Steyvesent....but can't remember the name actually. Possibly Rudy's.. |

Not the Manhattan store, it was White Plains to be fair. Funny thing is, now I know some of the Ash family, and still don't like them LOL. |
