Guess what these are, answer to follow in a week if none knows.
« on: January 06, 2013, 01:02:49 AM »
Hello everyone,

Picked up a pair of these babies today, was pleasantly surprised with the sound. I have never seen anything just like them before, and thought I would give everybody a chance to guess what they are. 95 DB efficient, 100 W handling power using AES measurements, rated 70 to 17,000 Hz(sounds like they go lower).
8 inch two ways, horn tweeter with ferrofluid dome, that way 34 pounds each. Ported and horn loaded woofer. Late 80s vintage.
Hal and I found them in a garage sale, not expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. Check out the pics. No more clues.

Sure are odd looking speakers.  Short of DIY.....

I'll guess Electro-voice.

two guesses....JBL,

Make it three guesses...Eminence.

I'm think more along the lines of PA or sound reinforcement.

Tannoy?

They kinda look like "you're a pee'in" speakers.

Hello folks,

Ron they are not Tannoy's. Not a bad guess though. What my Wi-Fi set up.
ataudio, good guesses you're close. The website said they were designed for sound reinforcement/PA/monitors. One post this on the web said the woofers were EV, though I have not confirmed this. USA manufactured though.

I would guess EV first, JBL second, & Lafeyette or Altec third.  Maybe even an old pair of Jensens...

Still no correct answers.  This company started in the 50's and was in business at least until the early 90's.
