Coral BX-35 speakers

[Nkuruma]

Hi, I just acquired a pair of Coral BX-35 speakers. Would anyone have any info or opinions regarding these and their components: Coral H-17 midrange horn & 10CX-6A coaxial unit?

I searched and could only find a page from the Radiomuseum about them, and barely anything about their components. They seem very similar in appearance to the Coral BX-33 Azuchi but have a few differences; Different legs, dimensions, and possibly woofers/horns? I plan on restoring (and possibly upgrading) them as a fun first project.

Never seen 'em -- thanks for posting pics.

I like the looks of those! The extreme efficiency and low power handling seem to demand a nice vintage tube amp. Looks like someone already replaced the terminals (a good thing!), what's the crossover look like?

That’s a great idea, it’d look great with a period correct tube amp.

As for the crossover, I’ve been told they upgraded it with Solen parts but it still looks quite rough.

To be honest, it looks good to me. You could touch up the soldering a little but there's absolutely nothing wrong with how that crossover is built.

That is good to know. Thank you for your imputs!
