Any help appreciated...they looked Silverline-ish to me but the binding posts situation makes me think homebrew. Anyone?
 
I asked and they're not able to take anymore pics until right before I can go there in 3 hours. The girl is selling for her dad who cannot remember the name. The price is negotiable.
 
They look kinda neat. Wonder what's behind the grille? Depending on the price and how they sound as to get them or not. Royzilla like your avatar.
 
Can you remove the grills?

See pictures.

Cool! Looks worth a gander! I have no idea though. :(

Well, I got them. For the price they seemed worth the risk. They are Zama from Australia speakers by Canary Audio, so a bit on an audiophile get if the gamble worked. Unfortunately, the whole thing blew up in my face as the woofer and two mids have no sound on the right one and the left one has both mids out. There was no way to test them (they were moving and all the audio gear was gone) so now I have two beautifully finished 85 pound paperweights. They actually really remind me of my old JBL 250's size and shape wise. Same height, big speakers. At the moment I have no way to test the drivers -which seem quite heavy and of quality, but sadly have zero writing on them, so I couldn't even look for replacements. Also with next to zero literature on them, I'm kind of stuck.

Hello royzilla. Sorry to hear that. Found this page. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/zama-speaker. Has some information. Looking at the last pic, wondering if the speakers have a inline fuse under the black shrink tubing? Or possibly the caps going bad? Have a pair of Mission 737Rs. Almost no output from the tweeters. Recapped the speakers, brought back the tweeters. If you have a meter you can check the resistance of each speaker by measuring across the voice coil. Good speakers 4-16 ohms resistance. Bad speakers read open (no reading), shorted (0- zero ohms). Remember how the wiring is for each speaker Take pics and mark each wire. Took a look at the wiring on last shot of the first four pics. Any decent speaker would have banana jacks, not a wire running out of the back. Reminds me of zip cord. wonder how it's wired up?
