i just came across a pair of cylindrical JR149 with a red JR badge i am not very familiar with these but upon testing them, they sounded very nice, sort of a like a beefier LS35/a. i read that these are "domesticated" version of the the LS35/a as designed by jim rogers in the latge 70s the asking price is in my opinion rather low at php18000 condition is B to B+
as there are some marks on the top wooden housing, otherwise it works well. i am considering these pair as i needed a small and inexpensive pair of monitors for a small room. would appreciate comments from those in the know. btw Richard Yim our fellow WS member from HK and LS35/A expert speaks glowingly of these speakers, could it be that i may have stumbled into a remarkable bargain?
