OK then let's throw these in the ring:-
Saxon (did they ever make anything good?)
Eurosound (used to make standard disco gear generally covered in orange vynide)
DJ Electronics
JPS Amplifiers
Simms Watts
Were those inefficient drivers called Titan by any chance or am I just rambling?

JPS amplifiers, now that's a brand that you don't see on the second hand market often.

We had four JPS modules in the rig at one time, I think two were 110 watts each and the others were 170 watts each. We actually did a gig for 1000 people alongside Liquid Gold who were the band for the evening, guessing this was about 1981. Tell you what, we didn't actually need any more power that night. What happened to all those real watts?
Oh and how about Orion Lighting and the wonderful Spirochaser? As it happens I know where to find Larry Wooden the old proprietor but do miss them. Edited by oldskool - 23 January 2012 at 5:07pm |

Simms Watts brand was August
I think this was to do with the address or visa versa, August House.

Linear not to be confused with Phase Linear (USA), these were a self build valve amp (from Wireless world), We had a 30w and a 50w.

Wasn’t Aces a spin off (that’s not the right term but
hopefully some pedant will step in) from Custom Sound of Oswestry? Another speaker co was Richard Allan. |
