Now this is something you don’t see every day…

A very rare stereo pair of original 1954 JBL Hartsfield (Version One), fully horn loaded and in beautiful original condition.

These were JBL’s direct competitor to the Klipschorn (KHORN), Altec 820, Electro-Voice Patrician, and Jensen Imperial… some of the most iconic horn systems ever made.

In this setup, they’re running a Sansui AU-111 tube integrated and a top-of-the-line Sansui SR-929 turntable, spinning both jazz and hard rock. Safe to say, this system delivers that “you are there” kind of sound.

Curious to hear your thoughts:

• Hartsfield vs Klipschorn, which would you choose?
• Would you take this over modern high-end, or no contest?

A rare pair of SpeakerCraft gems!
Crossovers have been tested and all components are still within spec. Midrange drivers were re-foamed using the correct materials, and the cabinets only needed a single new grill peg - otherwise untouched.

These were built with premium Seas drivers from Norway, a testament to their quality. They were never sold in Canada - the previous owner explained that they were imported by a couple moving here from California. A pretty cool piece of history.

This is a beautifully restored pair of JBL speakers, originally model 4341, now being upgraded to 4343B specifications with Echo Mountain charged-coupled crossovers.

Upgrades include Solen Fast capacitors, Solen and Jantzen inductors, as well as high-quality PRP, Vishay, and Mills resistors. The speakers can be configured for bi-amplified operation with an active crossover, or run fully passive using a single-channel amplifier per speaker.

The original cabinets have been completely restored and now feature premium walnut veneer, new solid walnut nosing, fresh paint, upgraded damping material, and new Furutech binding posts.

Driver components have also been enhanced:

JBL 2231H – Original
JBL 2121H – Freshly reconed with a custom kit by Upland Audio
JBL 2420 – Original
JBL 2405 – Original
