Miller & Kreisel Vintage Volkswoofer and Satellite Set with Original Cartons FREE Shipping!! | Reverb (2024)

New Price$899.99

In the early 1970's young genius audio engineer Ken Kreisel brought a revolution to the recording studios of Los Angeles with his new idea of separate stereo satellite speakers and a shared subwoofer for deep bass. Within just a few years, Kreisel moved his pro audio concept to the home market, with the a subwoofer that had its own onboard independent power. Named the "Volkswoofer," here is a one owner example of the very rare original Miller and Kreisel factory matched sub and satellite set, with sequential serial numbers, complete with their own original factory cartons.

The S-1's have sophisticated terminals that allow you to wire them in various way to subtly alter their reproduction to emulate American, British, and German speakers, and the included owner's manual goes into depth about ways to wire them to change the tweeter brightness and even to add resistors to alter their impedence. Reprints of the complete original owner's manuals for both the S-1's and the Volkswoofer included.

Purchased new 40 years ago at Seattle's Magnolia HiFi, we obtained this set from the estate of the original owner, a wealthy audiophile. We had everything thoroughly checked by our technician, and the system passed with flying colors...the tech gave the sub's volume pot and switches a cleaning and reported that all the original circuity, crossovers, surrounds, etc. in all three pieces remain within perfect specs. Their sound is fantastic, rich, detailed, and accurate across the spectrum. Sound is amazing for both music and with motion picture soundtracks. Beautiful mid-century modern design and rich real walnut veneer make them look as fine as they sound. Own a rare piece of high fidelity history!
