Are these speakers?

[sol7]

Saw this picture of what looks like speakers. Are they in fact speakers or some funky end tables?

Could be two water cooler units from the early seventies, I've seen them face up by similar design.

I say speakers, in a nice walnut veneer.

The water-ring stains from houseplants are what gave it away...

They're speakers alright - you can see the wires sticking out of the bottom on the carpet. I couldn't hazard a guess on the brand thought the fabric band around them screams Bose.

Bookmarked should these get ID'd. Won't be surprised if they are from one of the console companies like Magnavox or Sylvania. They are cool though and scream 1972.

Sonab? Perhaps, no idea of model numbersbut looks like some of their omnidirectional efforts

The listing mentioned mid-century speakers and this is the only picture showing anything resembling speakers. It's not close enough for me to check them out.

Ha, yeah the water stains go hand in hand with speakers....

Well, look what I found....

You nailed it!

Sol7 found the answer. I had a pair in the '70s when I was in high school. Bought new in '72 or '73 if I recall. Not bad speakers at all but light on treble as I remember.

Thanks to 2ndtimelucky. A google image search of Sonab led me to a picture from the thread in the link.

Yep! I still have a pair (out of a previous set of four) in storage here.

I used the first pair of cabinets, with the woofer replaced with a Dayton 8" Classic sub driver (DVC), and the mid/tweeter unit replaced with a port, as a pair of HT subs for a friend's home system. Worked great.
