Well, that was a nice surprise.
Was at the town recycling on Saturday when some nice person unloaded a stack of Technics (SU-V98 amp, with tuner, eq, tape and pioneer CD). I grabbed the stack and he mentioned that he'd just unloaded some speakers.
While I have far far too many speakers I decided to take a look. A company I'd never heard of, the speakers had full socks so I couldn't see if they were 2 way or 3 way. Binding posts on the bottom, but they looked quality posts, and the speakers were heavy and stamped Made in USA.
Got them home and figured out how to roll the sock down (take the wooden top off, and the sock is velcroed underneath). 2 way, with a front port and the foam on the woofers was in perfect condition.
Hooked them up and was very impressed with the sound (compared to B&W DM220). Nice lower bass that was missing from the B&W and the highs sounded great, not too sharp and not too muffled. Driven with a Yamaha A-1000 integrated amplifier.
I've put them in my main system for now, and will give them a proper run later this week. Pics show one of them and the other is in the same condition
I've not seen too many specs, or an owners manual, but would be interested if anyone has literature that came with them.
