My 1st encounter with these particular Lambert speakers were at a record shop in Singapore. The pair in that record shop were in plain black cabinets, not the beautiful wood finishing, as per pix below.

Lambert is a brand of New Zealand speakers (no longer in business). I am surprised to have not encountered them when in NZ.
That pair of SP260T in the record shop was driven by a Jungson J88 integrated amp - just sound absolutely marvelous! Definitely helped the owner sell many CD(s) and LP(s)!!!
Moment I asked the owner regarding the speakers, his instantaneous reply were along the lines of "...not for sale...". I just wanted to confirm the brand and model as there were no visible markings on the front of the cabinet.
A few months later, I was in a discussion regarding speakers deployed in record shops and this pair of pyramid looking speakers came up with gusto - many tried to buy them off the owner without success!
Too bad Gary Lambert sold the business. Would have loved to obtain a pair for my own pleasure.
This is the AudioEnz interview with Gary Lambert in 2014.
I have a pair of SP280 timekeepers from garry lambert.

Is the sp280 the same sp280 timekeepers? I have a pair of SP280 with a rectangle box with a single angled slope side enclosure, 2 ribbon tweeters 2 mid and 2 mid bass in each enclosure. I am interest to know more, I have had these speakers since the early 90s and enjoyed them.

ReplyDeleteI have a pair of the SP260T units, with slight modification, have replaced one of the reed tweeters with a dome tweeter and altered the loom setup to suit. These Babies have been in storage for over a decade (in a dry warm environment), they still sound great however I no longer have a good enough Amp. to drive them properly.
ReplyDeleteWith great sadness I will be selling them, probably on TradeMe in New Zealand. If you know of anyone interested let them know, will be auctioning next month some time NOV. 2021
Cheers
Ian
