Hello again,
I recently picked up some dsf loudspeakers for cheep. They definitely have some mass to them, my guess is 40-50lbs a piece. there are two 8" woofers and two tweeters that are not identical. they are held in with silicone and what appears to be 5/16 head metal screws. From the look of the glue that was holding the grille on i believe these are all original. They have hexagon spring terminals that almost appear as twist terminals at first glance. The only writing on the speaker is were it says dfs on the grills and on the back with the warranty info. The woofers need new surrounds, i was going to just replace with some new foam ones. I am curiouse if anybody has any experience with these or any info such as model number power handling, impedance, ect.? I found this on another post
"In my Orion Blue Book,they list 6 different models,all made from 78-83.
J-1 $230/pair
J-2A $274/PR
J-3 $400/PR
T-4 $450/PR
T-5 $624/PR
T-6 $1050/PR"
There is nothing that indicates a model number. I"m sure they are of this era. If anyone has ever owned or delt with these i would be interested to hear what you have to say. i noticed on another post that someone had a pair with one 8" woofer, one tweeter, and a port that was rated for 25watts. I wonder if these are as efficient with low power or if they are intended for higher power. My boxes are not ported. I listened to them briefly on the thrift store receiver and they didn't sound too bad , even with deteriorating surrounds. Here are some pics.
