Details

Selling my 71' B-15S, excellent condition for its age as you can see in the photos, original CTS 15" speaker, this amp gives up the best of the vintage bass tones, that singing sweet old school topend and tight punchy lowend that these amps are legendary for. Brand new set of Tung-Sol 7581A power tubes.. $1100 would rather not ship but if you really want it then add $120

Talk about deal of the year! Worth it just for that CTS speaker alone - which I always considered the secret sauce for this family of amps. I've got a B-15N with one and it sounds dozens of times better (to me) than any with an Eminence or JBL I've ever heard.

My understanding is that the frame is somewhat flexible compared to other speakers, which contributes to it's creamy (to my ears) sound quality. I sometimes thought of replacing mine a few times in the past "just because." But folks who really know their B-15s all told me I'd be nuts to do so.
