273.0. "JR speakers?" by VULCAN::KING (Wewease Wogaah) Thu May 02 1991 13:37

    
    Ages ago I knew someone who had some JR speakers, I can't find a
    reference in here to the name, so could anyone give me some info on 'em
    please?
    
    From what I can remember they were cylindrical, about a foot high, and
    sounded pretty good.  (aren't I helpful eh?! =;*)  )

273.1	I have JR's	BELFST::COWAN	Perception is Reality	`Thu May 02 1991 14:52`	10
	Yes, I have a pair of JR149 loudspeakers - see note 19.38. What would you like to know about them, other than that they are cylindrical, about a foot high, and sound pretty good? Designed by Jim Rogers, and based on the BBC monitor LS3/5a design etc.. Gary.

	Weeeeeeeeeeeell... Why are they cylindrical?! =:*) I just wanted some general info on 'em, like where they're sold, how much, etc. Is that the Rogers associated with some quite good bookshelf speakers? Chris.
273.3	Not the same Rogers....	BELFST::COWAN	Perception is Reality	`Tue May 07 1991 11:03`	15
	I think that Jim Rogers - designer of the JR149 is a different one to that which appears on the Rogers range of (bookshelf) loudspeakers. It's over 10 years since I bought my JR149s - they cost about �120 then. There is also a sub-woofer which I haven't tried called a JR150. The JRs are no longer on sale, but you may be able to pick some up second-hand, as I occasionally see them advertised. Why are they cylindrical? Well, speakers with no corners, it is said, have lower colouration! I still use my JR149s in my second system and like them as much as ever. Gary.
