Quinn Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Hey all, I was fortunate enough to meet another audiophile who had a pair of Cizek Model One's and he informed me of their history. Shortly after I bought a used pair for sale locally from the original owner who bought them at a HiFi store locally in 1976. I had another friend refoam them. They sit on a pair of used Osiris Audionics stands (100lbs (45kg) each filled). After breaking them in for a bit I have to say they punch way above their size and weight. I've had friends over and each has said they feel that they are listening to much larger speakers. Very happy with these speakers. My other speakers are Genesis Physics Model III from 1978.

Gorgeous pair of Model-1s, original and complete with all details, even the original foam grids very difficult to see in these conditions after 50 years!

Quinn Posted December 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 Thanks Giorgio. Yes I'm enjoying these speakers very much. I've played all types of music from Prog and Heavy Rock to Jazz to Classical to Motown, everything sounds outstanding. I had a friend listen to the Phil Collins song In The Air Tonight...when the drums finally came in they filled the room, very deep and punchy. He did not expect the speakers to deliver sound that big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio AR Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 According to many people, from the time they were put on sale until today they are defined as "the best two-way speaker". I noticed in the photos at least two receivers and a tuner ... I also have some receivers of several brands and I love them and several tuners, I really like listening to the radio in the background all day long (now two are switched on in two separate rooms), sometimes at high volumes when good music is playing!

Quinn Posted December 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 I actually have 3 receivers, all from 1976; Sansui 9090, Kenwood KR-9600 and a Technics SA-5760. I also just acquired a NAD 1000 pre-amp and 2 NAD 2200 power amps. The tuner in the pictures is a Kenwood KT-7300 and works through the Sansui as the FM radio does not work. I also just acquired a Yamaha T-85 Tuner. I listen to analogue radio almost every day. And it works even when the Wi-Fi does down....

Quinn Posted January 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Found the Cizeks are nice but the Genesis Physics Model III are better in the bigger, main listening room. I moved the Cizek along with the NAD gear into a smaller room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably with an Adcom GFA-555 they would fly high! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn Posted January 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Actually I have 2 NAD 2200 power amps. I did hook them up briefly to test them, but with the Genesis speakers in the main room. A lot more oompf than the single 2200. But for this smaller room the single power amp is plenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
