1957 Jbl Paragon Speaker 

This is as close as I've ever gotten to actually hearing these legendary speakers. Thanks for doing this.

In 1982, I sold the last remaining retail new Paragon to a buyer in Germany. It was our showroom floor model, we didn’t have the box, it took two master carpenters to build a shipping crate in a week. Al Russo from JBL, I think he was the export VP at the time was instrumental in completing the deal.

One of most beautiful speakers ever made.

Recording the speakers through a microphone, then playing it via youtube and possible compression, and me playing the video with the headphones jack to my stereo. Still I get the sensation that these speakers sound absolutely beautiful. Good choice of the music,,, Round midnight. 🙂

What beautiful vintage HIFI

空間を漂うリアルなギターの音色が素晴らしい。 羨ましい！

Now that’s a nice stereo, great speaker, record player and preamp, I almost thought I caught a glimpse of a Marantz 9 in the rack

I purchased a Paragon in the mid 1990's from a guy in the west of England, it had an amazing walnut veneer but the lacquer on the top was opaque and lifting. I had a local cabinet maker who was a master craftsmen restore it as sensitively as possible. When he returned to me it look magnificent. It was in perfect order electrically, it had been never been messed around with and was just perfect. I can remember reassembling it for the first and listening to it for an extended period of time with various valve amplifiers. I could never really get it to sound as good as it looked, to be fair I had original autographs, gold, red and silver and a genuine pair of acoustilens that all sounded better in my room. That said an iconic speaker and one I'd love to own again as a piece of history.

Vi tu colección en un video reciente del Gurú del audio vintage, Gustavo. Impresionante colección de equIpo! Y este Paragon suena increíble. Debe ser un placer escucharlo en persona! Yo lo conocí viendo los videos de Kenrick Sound de Japón. Ojalá puedan con Gustavo organizar alguna Expo en la cual los aficionados del audio podamos al menos un día apreciar estas maravillas! Saludos!

I love the Paragon speakers, very rare, I have the Everest DD55000 and I would like to hear how daddy is singing the blues:))
