Mid Century Speakers: Found!

Just recently I was scouring different thrift stores and antique shops. Often I find little pieces here and there that helps bring the mid century modern decor together. But I’m here to tell you — I found a really nice set of diamonds in the rough. A set of early 1960′s speakers sitting on tall sexy slender stands turned me on as soon as I laid eyes on ‘em.  I found them at Nest Lincoln on 19th and “O” street, downtown Lincoln Nebraska. Nest is a great mid century modern place to find great deals.

I can hear Al Green – “Love and Happiness” beating a smooth rhythm in my veins. I plan to put these in my office space that’s soon to be made over. But with the versatility in these beauties — I could use them in the living area. So many options.

Stay tuned for the office design. I might need your help on arrangement. I have some key pieces. But I’ll need an extra set of eyes to put in some good ideas.

KEYNOTES:

Al Green’s origin (You will find that he’s from Arkansas). I bet you didn’t know that! We’re all not hillbillies.

If you could coin me in one word -- it would be -- "simplicated". I'm "simply" "complicated" at times. I'm a simple guy and love simple things, others...I'm complicated. But I'm still a cool guy that love all things design related.

    Look like more mid ’70′s to me. in the 60′s, speakers had the original black rims. These have trim rings that a lot of companies used in the 70′s. They may have been upgraded too tho. Just sayin’. I’m not trying to correct anyone by making these comments. I post them for information reasons for reference if anyone is looking to find the same models. Great find.

Got something to say? Go for it!
