Cleveland speakers

[2020]

I bought a pair of speakers at an estate sale today for 10 bucks. Based on the EIA code, I think they are Cleveland brand, which is a brand I am unfamiliar with.

A google search gave me little info except for Cleveland speakers for guitar.

Does anybody know anything about them?

I'm sure they are no big deal, but thought they were interesting. They are 12" coax speakers with fairly decent weight.

Thoughts?

Those are cool! They look solid too.

You might have fun throwing them in a sheet of plywood and doing an open baffle. They really might surprise you...

Thanks, Jelly Bean. I may do exactly that. I've never tried open baffle before. Looks like fun!

Probably sound pretty good !!

Actually, search for "Cletron", rather than Cleveland - you should find more info.

Cletron made speakers for a whole bunch of people, was owned by a whole variety of parent companies, including Harman at some point.

They stick in my memory for being the only manufacturer I ever saw that made seamed cones.

Jensen used seamed cones on a number of their speakers....like the P10R and the C12N

Hope they aren't the " mistake by the lake " model.
