Bohlender Greabner / Radia Radia FS 420 Ribbon Speakers

For sale is a nice pair of Bohlender Graebener Radia FS 420 Speakers. The 420 is a slightly shorter version than the taller FS 520, and at around 60 inches tall the perfect size in my opinion

These sold for $3800until recently, when one the original owners (David Graebener) passed away in early 2015 and the company dissolved. So these are likely to become harder to come by, and more collectable.

These contain the true 40” ribbons, not the newer NEO drivers. So you get the benefits of a true ribbon speaker. They are have dual binding post so you can bi-amp or bi-wire if you like. The ribbon crosses over to (2) 6.5” (sealed) woofers to fill in the bottom end.

They have amazing clarity/detail, and throw a tremendous soundstage. They are very efficient @ 91 dB/watt so came be driven easily. They are rated at 4 ohms so make sure you have an amp that is okay for the load. They will sound their best with a quality amplifier. Many folks prefer these to Maggies (not to insult any Maggie owners out there).

This pair is in great shape. They are stylish (brushed aluminum, and black bases) and do not take up much floor space.

If you’ve never heard a pair, you should.
