When I was stationed in Germany, (Mannheim to be exact), in 74-75, we used to ride our 10 speeds to Heidelburg, and listen to the 'stereo wars' at some big auditorium there. I purchased a pair of fairfax tower speakers just before I left. (sold 2 sets of Kenwood triple 7's), (those WERE monsters), to pay for the fairfaxs. I had them shipped home to me in Wisconsin, when I went to tech school. I forget the actual part numbers of the speakers, but they had a (if I remember), a 12" woofer, a 5" midrange, and a small tweeter. I blew the woofer up in one of them, was pissed, and sold the pair to my younger brother. Don't have a clue what he ever did with them. They were sweet sounding speakers tho, (till the one blew up). I DO really remember listening to the 'wall of sounds' and wished the WHOLE time that I had enough dough to purchase a pair. BUT the one huge thing (besides the cost and fact that I didnt' have anyplace to put them, was their size. They ARE freaking huge. But wall of sound pretty much summed them up. HUGE sound came out of those monsters. I do miss my fairfaxs tho. THIS is the first website that I"ve even heard anyone talking about them. At this time, I"m listening on some vintage DCM time windows, (had 2 pair, sold one to make rent)................:>( Powered by 2 NAD 2200PE amps. (one for each speaker). They do sound great. But I digress. Shame fairfax went out of business.......................
