Does anyone recognize these vintage Morels?

[ve7kilohertz]

I have had these for years and they have just been office speakers for me but I think I want to restore them and put them into my main system. The labels are well faded...the drivers look like KEF T27 and B200.

Can anyone identify the model number, or do you know anything about these, specs, age etc. please and thanks?

Cheers

Morel speakers using KEF drivers? They're either not Morel speakers (maker of Morel components) at all, or someone retrofitted Morel speakers with KEF drivers.

Well I haven't pulled the drivers out to confirm but if they are not original, someone went to an awful lot of work to recess the woofer into the baffle. I think I'll pull the drivers tonight when I get home.

Well the mystery is solved.

I was searching for speakers using the T27 and B200 and came across a picture of the identical speakers. Turns out they are Tangent TM-3. And now that I have seen other pictures on the web, what I thought said MOREL on the sticker is actually MODEL and then the 3 beside it would have been TM3, and the England on the bottom...it all makes sense now.

Going to pull them apart to see if the xovers are original, they seemed to be good quality speakers in 1978.

Here's the link I found. There is actually a fair bit of info on the web for them. I should leave the $29 price tag on them for grins, what I paid for them from a second hand store in the 90's.

What is that adjusted for inflation? Still a deal.
