Guest Bret Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I can't tell you much about them other than I had a pair. I had the choice of these, or for a small amount more a pair of AR-6s (I think). I couldn't wait to get "something" and was champing at the bit to get something better than I had on my new 45w/channel receiver.I bought them in IL at a Playback store. I went in the store to purchase a pair of ARs. The ARs were nice and clearly smoked the Utahs on classical music, but I also listened to something contemporary (maybe "Hocus Pocus" from Focus?) and the Utahs were much, much louder. I was young, what can I say? Louder, more forward, punchier - "I think I'll have these, please." For some reason I'm either remembering or misremembering that the store had them marked $84ea. I paid considerably less, but then my big sister's boyfriend was managing the store! That would have been about 1972-3. After a few years I sold them to a friend for $60. Eventually he used the cabinets for a home-grown pair of speakers after some driver or another died.Thanks for sharing those pictures. That brought back a fair number of memories.Bret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bob33 Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Your welcome the sad thing is is that i found these laying in the junk. And one of the woofers isnt original other wise both speakers and cabnets are in mint condition. I want to try to find another original 8 inch woofer the one thats not original is a 8 inch car sub. but i really want to fix this imperfection and make them all original again. I am haveing trouble finding and original 8 inch woofer on ebay and i am having trouble finding any information of any source on the internet. But from what i have read utah joined with knight and formed these speakers. They are a special design because they put drivers that had no foam surrounds on them to try and prevent foam rot. So basicly i think these were more a experamental speaker then a big mass marketed speaker. But what i am amazed at is the original 8 inch woofer blows the car sub away in clear solid bass no distortion. I want to keep these all original just like i like vintage cars all original i just think it has more charactor that way.
