Don’t forget their big brothers, the RH 545s. Real beasts. I have some RH544s. Very nice sounding, a little soft but that’s where a recap might help. There’s a lot of technology in them, the same engineers help design CDs so there were no mugs
Hi! 10:26, Indeed that is a 2 inch high power dome squawker (mid range) AD0210/Sq (4 or 8 ohm). ). 10:38 Here is the 1 inch soft dome tweeter. Thanks for the video.
I have a pair of the speakers. Bought from Philips directly, here in Australia back in 1978. As you have stated the bass response is second to none. To me a gorgeous sound that other amp's/speakers cannot compete with. I would hard pressed to want to sell them.
Really nice video! You made a little mistake however. This speaker is a threeway design. The device mounted in front of the woofer is not the accelerometer but a tweeter. Otherwise very interesting and well made video, thank you!
You are right - it is a three-way, that's a tweeter. There is a piezo-electric accelerometer, but it's actually mounted under the dust cap of the woofer...realized that well after I made the video. Good catch!
Canadian Guru,I found a pair of these on C/L (in Seattle) Good both functionally and cosmetically, for $300.00 USD. The very reason I'm watching this...Back in the late 80's, I bought the very same PHILIPS stack that you have...with DALQUIST DQ-10's and some 12" subs...It ROCKED!, Unfortunately,it was all stolen in 1990.All this stuff is hard to find...
Desde los 70 hasta mediados de los 80, Philips fué para mí la marca de referencia en el mundo HiFi. Sus diseños, su tecnologia, sus acabados e incluso el aroma que desprendian sus dispositivos, me fascinaban. Yo iba contracorriente, la mayoria defendía las marcas de origen nipon y menospreciaban las de origen europeo. Philips fué un canto a la innovacion, algo que ya no volverá pero que tuve la suerte, aun siendo muy joven, de disfrutar.
I have some almost like new Philips 9710M/01 full range driver's in an open baffle and my good that sound lovely and warm and mids just blend nicely it will be one speaker I will never get rid of nice big alnico on the back and a lovely warm brown colour cone the bliss 😊😊❤
The larger MFB Speakers are even more impressive, the Philips 545 for example. I own the Jamo MFB 100 and MFB 200 speakers, they were built in collaboration with Philips, you can even use them with preamplifiers or integrated amplifiers. The Jamos have 200W of power per box, with 3 separate amplifiers for the drivers, but otherwise lots of those Philips ingredients. The bass is multi-layered, really clean up to 20 Hz, you don't need a subwoofer. The Jamos have silk tweeters from Seas, which the Philips unfortunately don't have, the Philips tweeters are a bit harsh and imprecise. The bass speaker and also these great midrange speakers come from Philips, as here. They sound like really good large floorstanders with a sub. The MFB Bass has a special sound, even on lower volume.
I have yet to hear the whole video. Just seeing the innards and the construction (with some sort of accelerometer in front of the woofer?) is already very interesting, i liked and subscribed. Thanks
Good video. I am into the electronics, the circuits, in general. I have a suggestion for you, as a collector of unique pieces: get a Sony VFET amplifier! These are absolutely unique, because there are no other output devices that are comparable to the Sony VFETs. Not even power JFETs, SITs, or VFETs from other manufacturers. I would get a 5650 and have a very good tech work on the amp to get extended life. The amp as it comes from the factory is prone to a failure which often causes the death of the VFET output devices, even though they are not prone to failure themselves (the VFETs). These devices are now extremely hard to find.
Can never understand why people spell PHILIPS wrongly, when the hardware's featured in the video-clip!! This is aimed at some of the comment makers, not the creator of the video. PHILIPS had great, great hardware, but to my mind NEVER marketed their high-end products, across ALL product-divisions, aggressively enough!! Wonderful product range with advanced technologies and hardware design/aesthetics!
Not sure i understood the rca ins and outs. A simple source like say my phone goes into the right and left of each spkr and you correspond the push buttons as such but why do they have left and right on each one. I honestly would live seeing a video on just the rca connecting coz it's weird
It seems you didn't do very much research before you started pontificating here. The large domes at the upper portion of the face are MIDRANGE drivers, NOT tweeters. The dome tweeters are the items that you misidentified as "piezoelectric accelerometers" - those are tweeters, my friend. The motion feedback components are built into the woofer. Really before you start trying to give us a history lecture, it would improve your content if you actually knew what you were talking about.
Hi, these have already been sold. It's quite often that I sell the items showcased as it allows me to "soldier on" with other pieces. Certainly, the Philips were one of those that I wish I could have kept...
In the mid to late 70s, my father owned a pair of 3way speakers made by Philips, utilising the same tweeter that is mounted in front of the woofer on these powered speakers. Would you happen to know the serial number or model number of that tweeter?

Yes, lots of tech in them for sure! Probably a bit ahead of their time.

lol, yes - the bass is pretty amazing with them. Tight, tight, tight! Very punchy!
They sound great, thanks for letting us hear them😭

Philips tweeters were used on the quadraflex speakers back in the 70s I really liked them!
Setting the channel on the speaker is used to connect several of these speakers in series, for bars, studios etc.
That would make 100% sense, thanks for sharing this!

Man is it hard to find! You are 100% correct. I hope you are enjoying them, they are pretty special speakers.

I'm thinking about getting a pair. They are quite widely available here in Finland.
That's awesome. What do you think you can get them for out there?
@@1JGP1 about 300-400€. Not too expensive, but expensive enough for me to think twice before buying a pair. 😁

Thanks for sharing! I agree with the midrange and low end on the Philips - it's a bit of a surprise when you first hear them!

Thanks! Yes, they are very interesting - it is a accelerometer, you are correct! Welcome!
It looks like a phillips tweeter in the woofer. What do they taste like? I feel love is a great test track.
It's actually a sensor - crazy as that sounds...it measures the positioning of the woofer.

I have bad spelling..lol
I should relax more, don't worry about it.
I had a pair of 567s and they were amazing...I regret selling them. They were paired to an Advent preamp and a 20 band Sound raftsman EQ.
I would have loved to have heard them!
When is the next vid coming broseph?
I was just thinking about that today! I am putting something together over the next couple days...I hope you'll like it!

Yup, it is weird. You can actually connect them a couple different ways to get them to work.
@@1JGP1 i have two pairs and luv them so much.
These are kind of like early servo woofers
100% agree!
They are servo woofers.

I don't - sorry. I ended up selling these guys; Otherwise, I would have looked for you.
@@1JGP1 Thank you thats very kind, and in these times, and this medium, it is rare. Have a good life.
Hi! 10:38. That tweeter seem to be the AD 0160/T (4 or 8 ohm).
