No markings, but the cabinet looks a lot like a infinity tide. The tweeter though looks like a Vifa. 6 inch woofer with some kind of poly material. Binding post looked pretty good, decent quality. I’m at a loss though....

Superficially resembles the Infinity Reference One (there were also other similarly styled Infinity models) but the Infinity's tweeter was centered and it had crappy wire clips rather than binding posts. Let alone the fact that the drivers are completely different.

Woofers look like they might be replacements, but only because of the gasket.

The tweeter reminds me of morel for some reason.

The cabinets, grill and tweeter look just like my BR-1's, but with the wrong woofers. Maybe someone replaced the original woofer?

 

[Lavane]

If there is a port on the back they probably are BR-1's with the wrong woofers. Or an older version of the woofer with lighter colored ring seal.

My first thought as well.

Ohhh. It may be worth grabbing them just to pull the tweeters. Five bucks apiece.

I'd bet that's the correct woofer (Dayton 295-305- now called the DC160-8)- and the gaskets are just sun-faded, or the top layer of black has been peeled off the gasket, or both.

I think your right Gordon. They look exactly like the BR-1kits I built. The tweeters are very smooth and clear. Not an overly sensitive speaker, but they sound pretty good. I've been using them on my bench system for several years. Decent bottom end too. Some thought was put into the crossovers as well.

I think it’s the correct woofer, the material is very similar, it’s just the lighting and these were beat up. Thanks all of you!

They are nice sounding speakers. I've built several of the Dayton kits and these are my favorite. Replacement woofers are pretty cheap also.

Get them!
