"A few weeks ago I posted about my bidding on a pair of crazy expensive WE speakers on ebay (Yes, Gerry, I know 755s are not your cup of tea but you didn't sell me your 754's:))"
Hi Xavier:
I thought I showed great restraint by not replying to your earlier post. However, since you mentioned my name... I was watching that auction and at the end my reaction was WOW! I wouldn't have guessed that the winner was someone I know. The prices just keep going up, so from an "investment" perspective, it is safe. Not to mention the musical enjoyment you will get out of it.
My only knock against the 755A is that the 10" 756B sounds better to me at 1/3 to 1/2 the cost. Get yourself a pair of 756Bs, put them on open baffles with a suitable horn tweeter and you will see what I mean. BTW, I see that you have a pair of restored Ionovac tweeters. I also tried a pair that I had restored. I believe the model was the Dukane DUK-10 in wood cabinets with grilles. They sounded very good but like you mentioned, they don't have a high enough sensitivity to use them with the drivers we would want to use them with. Of course the "cool factor" is off-the-charts!

P.S. That was a very generous offer from Pete to secure the 755As and ship them to you. Especially due to the handling of such an expensive item!
