    Help me identify this pair

    Hey everyone, just saw a local ad for a pair of ampex speakers that look intriguing because they look like Dynaco a25s except the box seems to be sealed? I'd appreciate if you guys could tell me whether you have seen or heard these before. Best, Pouya.

    Help identify these speakers

    These speakers are in the 3010/3011 ampex. I have heard Ampex made some great speakers. Are they CTS or Eminence, maybe? Ceramic or alnico, and which is better between the two? The magnets look big and heavy for a '60s speaker. Do these look any good, decent? Please help, anyone? Merry...

    Ampex 2011 Full Range Speaker System = Really Good and Slightly Mysterious
