So glad to see someone else has the pleasure of the T12's !
I bought mine in B'ham Al. about 1974 or 75 from Lawrence Stereo. Mr. Lawrence had just returned from a stereo show somewhere out west , heard these speakers and brought them home. Keep in mind that Lawrence is a big time advocate of McIntosh in all forms .... only high end stuff in his store. The T12's ate up every speaker in the store ! I've never heard a better speaker for presence and clarity . My system at the time was a Bose amp , B&O turntable , McIntosh C26 preamp and of corse those beatiful Paradox speakers . I don't know why time aligned speakers ( esp. those speakers ) havn't had more press . I know I'm probobly waxing poetic but that's the best damn speaker I've ever heard ! Enjoy !!
