    Jensen Blue Surrounds

    I'm refoaming a pair of Spectrum 550s (they're important within the family). I'm trying to find that iconic blue foam surround, does anyone know where I can find some? The thread on Reddit died many moons ago.

    Danish Loudspeakers - Celebrating 100 Years

    Great write up on the invention of the loudspeaker and the Danish companies that have participated in the field over the last 100 (now plus) years - the article was written in 2015. 120 pages in length, but very interesting and well written content. I especially enjoyed the opening salvo on...

    Jensen CS-315 Speaker/Drivers

    Hey all, just picked up a pair of old Jensen CS-315 speakers. Not impressed. Got them for under $20, so no worries. But I want to see if the drivers match up with what SHOULD be there (hoping to part them out for drivers and crossovers). See pics below of the woofer--they seem CHEAP and...

    Need help identifying mystery tweeter? Jensen? mid 60's

    I recently acquired a pair of what I assumed to be trash Olson Speakers. Nice enclosures though, large, heavy well built walnut cabinets. Inside I discovered very nice Jensen Low and mid drivers. I can identify those. What I need help with is the high frequency drivers. Are these Jensen...

    Jensen 700-xl refurbish

    Bought these Jensen 700xl from goodwill for $20. They were in pretty rough shape but I figured they were worth a cleanup. They should be completely sanded and re-veneered but with a toddler there’s just not enough time. I started by scuffing up the finish and filling in some chips with plastic...

    Resurrecting High School Jensen Model 3 and Altec Challenger 1 - Help?

    My siblings found my first speakers, Jensen Model 3's, in our parent's attic. They were popular in New Haven in the early '70s, if I recall. There were also Altec Challenger 1's, which I don't recall. The first inspection shows all the cabinets are in amazing shape but refoaming is desperately...

    Jensen Bass-Ultraflex BL-250 info

    While visiting family friends recently I came across a single Jensen BL-250 speaker in Mahogany. They didnt know much about it as it belonged to a deceased family member but as a klipschorn owner it caught my eye and looks to be all original.

    Best Desktop Speakers Ever!!

    I'll start by saying that this six dollar pair of Jensen Model 5's will not be staying on my tanker desk in the garage for long. I'm not sure how long these speakers sat dormant for, but it took a good ten minutes before really woke up. I know the subs have been replaced with vintage Radio...

    Does anyone have experience with Jensen X speakers?

    I have a fetish for speakers with real wood veneer and the old-school brown/gold fabric grills, but don't have the champagne budget for the more established classics with these features. One line of speakers that seem ubiquitous in the world, but haven't heard much about, are the Jensen X line...

    Need some wisdom with a vintage Jensen ID [See Pics]

    Hey all, Just found some vintage Jensen speakers at a thrift store for under 15 bucks. However, I know very little about Jensen speakers this old. I predict there from the 1960s after doing some comparison with other similar photos. Are these Jensen's of this era known for being pretty quality...

    Jensen PR-400A Speakers & Goodies

    My son found a pair of Jensen PR-400A custom console speakers along with a Denon POA-1500k, and Sansui QRX-4500 for the cool price of $400. The Denon and Sansui speak for themselves, however, we can't find much info on the Jensen speakers. They appear to be quite rare, with one AK thread posted...

    Does anyone know ANYTHING about Pazos Speakers? I'm still dialing these in with stuffing and I need to rebuild the crossover as soon as I get some specs from someone. I don't even have a model number or country of origin! In fact the only reason I think they are made by a mysterious company...

    Jensen TF-3C speakers

    Own a pair of the TF-3c's and am happy with them. Placement of these speakers is key. IDK if I got lucky where I put them or what not but bass is super amazing. Have them above my kitchen cabinets on their sides each in a corner. Picked up for 20 as they were "broken". They worked just had...
