I remember when all this Western Electric gear was literally being thrown out and the Japanese bought it for pennies on the dollar because the marketing departments of American audio companies were pushing the transistor. The Japanese saved the vacuum tube from extinction and the rest of us owe you so much. Today, I listen through American kit based amplification from Transcendent Sound, vacuum tube OTLs where the Cathode is directly connected to the loudspeaker terminal, sans output transformer and the sound is magic. But without the Japanese saving the Western Electric gear, tubes would have been lost.
These days transportation costs from US are so hi, that "for a penny" is only a sweet dream. I have no idea what happened to Yahoo auctions JP in EU, so they won't be available after April, but since a covid I didn't purchase a single thing in US. I preferred Japan because a shipping fee was free as a rule.
I can't help but say that even though I respect these old collectors of gear, and they're not guilty for being old, they all seem sad and nostalgic listening to this type of music... I am 54 with a leaning towards contemporary and experimental music and one day when I retire I want to build my listening room in a house with no neighbours and enjoy music as I only ever enjoy outside in clubs and gigs, from Autechre to Blood Incantation, my gear will bleed! I will not be playing lame music for elevators for sure.
Now that’s what I call a killer stereo, WE25s on top, and I assuming driven by WE594s, the bass bins are???? Maybe TA7395s or Westerex ……. Not sure but they blend seamlessly. Question, I noticed a small hole above the bass speaker (4194?), not sure I’ve seen a WE baffle with that hole, is it for a “high frequency” driver, like a Jensen 301 or ???? Still a monster setup, the delicacy and the attack even on earbuds is very noticeable
안녕하세요? 저는 한국에 거주하는 이동화라고 합니다. 선생님의 오디오 세트가 바로 제가 찾고 있는 것과 비슷해서 댓글 남깁니다.모델 넘버가 어떻게 되며, 드라이버 및 구성품은 어떻게 되는지 궁금합니다. 그리고 현재 시점에도 이 오디오를 구할 수 있는지, 또 가격 정보를 알려주시면 감사하겠습니다.

商売をなされているので、このような豪華なシステムが構築できたのですね。優しい音色です！それよりも、貴店のお菓子を食べたいよ。
とってもクリアで素晴らしい❗😃⤴️⤴️👏

Thank got for Japanese audio culture...
Nice setup to be sure, WE25 with ??? drivers and the early Lansing bass horn, I’m sure the electrics are of similar pedigree
Fabulous sound!!!
American made quality! Compared to today’s.

Thank you for your comment, the Kanno Works Excitation Tweeter K-597 is hidden behind the small hole in the baffle.
May I know what music did gou play? Thank you.
Beautiful ❤
Simply lovely
I don't understand how he can hear the music with that mask on his face
音源は何ですか。アナログ・レコードですか、それともCDですか。或いはiPhoneですか。昔はマッキントンシュMC275で鳴らしていましたが、今はiPhone13Pro Maxよりの音源をSony WF-1000XM3で朝の散歩時に楽しんで居ます。ロサンゼルスでリタイア。
コメントありがとうございます、著作権をクリアするために、私のレストランでライブ録音した物をCDにして再生しました。
昔はリールーリールのテープレコーダーで生録音を楽しみましたが、今は手軽にデジタルレコーダーで録音できて、音も良いですね。

ボーカル特に女性歌手の再現性では７１A に優る球は無いと思います、往時の技術の粋を集めたラジオ管に敬意を表したいです。
