Another Speaker ID

[TheFonze73]

Any clues? The badge on one speaker is marked CI. Otherwise apparently no other markings. Am considering buying if ID looks promising.

Cheers

Don't know, but they look VERY promising...!:thmbsp:

If the price is right, go for it.:yes:

Nice speaks there Fonze!
Can't place them though, but I will keep up with this thread to get the brand name. I am sure someone will come up with the answer. If you can get to the drivers, they may give some clue.

The guy selling them isn't game on removing the grills. I think they are more of a sock covering the whole cabinet. The dimensions are 80cm x 45cm x 25cm.

 

[Susurus]

Vandersteen?
Snell?

Those I know of that had CI in the name. Probably an acronym though. There's a Klipsch with CI in the name too, but those are not them.

 

[schabot]

They look like old Advents, but not sure about the CI part.

 

[Nat]

I think they are Vandersteens. If not they might be Von Schweikert or Vortex or whatever the name was.

 

[GordonW]

Can you get a picture of the back of the speaker, where the terminals connect?

Look a lot like Vandersteen 2Ci... but that wood base is definitely non-stock, if so.

Regards,
Gordon.

Really similar to Vandersteen, but not quite right I think. Definitely the same idea. Vandersteen 2's have the top panel cut out for cloth.

 

[GordonW]

Wait a minute... looking at that picture again, those speakers are ON a TABLE.

No way they're Vandersteens... there never was a Vandersteen model made like that, that was THAT small. That's a bookshelf-size speaker...

Regards,
Gordon.

The dimensions are roughly 31.5"x18"x10". I've asked the guy to email me some more photos.

 

[klama2006]

Yea, I noticed there up on a table too. I'm tempted to say DCM, but I've never seen this model before, and am probably wrong.

 

[klama2006]

If there local, jump on it... figure out the details later.

 

[TheFonze73]

The thing is they're not local. If I can get a relatively positive ID the shipping cost might be worth it.

 

[jimfet]

The look like Advents to me too.

 

[Boonaroo]

Could they possibly be and ACI speaker? I didn't see anything in their gallary, but could be a 'custom' build that never got released.

 

[Nat]

Gordon is right -- those are a lot smaller than I thought they were. I'd thought they were on a rug on the floor, not on a table on a placemat.
There was a company Black _____ (not Black Ice, that was a short lived backpacking equipment company, and not Black Watch, which I think was a Duntech speaker) that had a speaker that looked somewhat like that. But my memory is that it was taller.
Interesting...

 

[stigcarlsson]

DCM Time Windows looking to me, but they are so small, can you tell how many drivers are underneath the sock grills? They look cool, nice looking wood.

 

[stigcarlsson]

SNELL Ci? only other thing I can think of.

 

[TheFonze73]

The consensus I am getting is they could be something decent. Waiting for shipping costs from the seller.
