Vintage Bozak Rhapsody CS400 // Speakers / Restored / Recapped / Reclothed

The Bozak Rhapsody was first introduced in 1974, and the CS400 is its final iteration. Produced from 1984, until the company's demise in 1987, this version of the Rhapsody featured flush-mount drivers to increase dispersion, and reduce shadowing. We've replaced one midrange with the OEM driver, recapped the crossovers, refreshed the cabinets, and reclothed the grilles in a beautiful silver and blue cloth. A stellar pair.

LINER NOTES

The largest of Bozak's line of compact speakers, the Rhapsody CS400 descends from the B-401 as a vertical free-standing unit with a pedestal base and with a removable grille. It can accommodate an insert of glass, slate or marble to protect the fine finish of the top when it is used as an end table. A true three-way system, its speaker complement includes the famed 12-inch variable-density, high-compliance Bozak B-199A bass speaker, the patented B-209B midrange driver, developed in Bozak's laboratories to give maximum presence in the midrange without "break-up" distortions, and the dual B-200Y tweeter array for broad dispersion of the upper frequencies without the shriliness so often encountered. Midrange clarity is further heightened by the fact that the driver is completely isolated from the bass enclosure. This combination of the very same speakers used in the largest Bozak systems, combined with a passive L-C crossover network, provides a full spectrum of true sound from natural bass through clear midtones to the highest shrill-free treble.
