Technical Highlights - these speakers are untested by auction company.

  • 3-way, 5-driver system for full-range sound.

  • 12" cone woofer, dual 5" midrange drivers, and dual 2" horn tweeters. (according to catalog - speaker backs have not been opened).

  • Crossover points at 1500 Hz and 5000 Hz for balanced distribution.

Sound Character

  • Bass: Deep and resonant, with a vintage warmth that fills the room.
