    Goodmans/Lafayette speakers? What am I looking at here?

    Anyone know anything about these and have an opinion on them? I searched around, and can’t find anything like them.

    Picked up a pair of Goodman Maximus 1 Speakers

    Hi everyone. I lucked into a pair of Goodman Maximus 1 speakers. A friend of mine found these while doing a house clean out job and I was lucky enough to get them for a great price. They're a solid 9.5 out of 10. I had never heard of them until a few days ago. They sound amazing for their size...

    Goodmans Double Maxim

    I have just un-boxed and plugged in a pair of these given to me years ago. Seems they're in good shape as far as the drivers go, all tidy and sound good. Cabinets not amazing but not tatty, missing the badges. Thanks - I'm a newbie so hope I haven't posted in the wrong place.
