    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...

    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...

    Best Desktop Speakers Ever!!

    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...

    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...
