Does anyone recognize this little orphan?

[hwystar]

I found this orphan at a thrift without a grill and painted white. No identification. I pulled the drivers and saw nothing like a name or anything but some numbers, they looked like good quality. I have it connected with another orphan now listening to it. Its a nice sounding speaker good base and seems more efficient than the Boston A60 orphan its paired with. Was hoping someone would recognize it. It stands 13 1/2 in. tall. I would like to find its mate.

from the back it looks similar to some older paradigms ( I'm sure that's not what it is). Have you pulled the drivers to see if there are any markings or stickers on them that might indicate the manufacturer?

The numbers may indicate the manufacture of the drivers.

I thought also they looked paradigmish. I will look at the drivers again and see what numbers there are.

I've seen that tweeter before. I'm guessing Seas or older Vifa.

Here is some close ups. The woofer does not have any words on back, just numbers and 4 ohm. I lost my picture of that. The tweeter has made in France and a word that begins with Poly??? Maybe these pics will help.
Thanks.

marantz?

pic is out of focus, tweeter PN is 120992w. Finally made out the name, Polydax. They were used in some Infinity speakers. Polydax also by another name is Audax. Found this on a previous AK thread with a google search. This could be an Infinity.

Maybe not infinity afterall...I uncovered some paint from a paper label on the back which has something interesting. Hard to make out because I scraped with a knife just until legible, anymore and it scrapes the paper label off along with the numbers. I am making it out to be PSB20MKII... This may be the final clue. There is such a thing as PSB speakers and a PSB 20MKII also.

Google imaged the PSB 20 mkii and came up with what appears to be a different version but with a similar woofer and also some images of those tweeters. Those 3 holes at the lower section of the front may have held a plastic bit with the PSB logo on it that fell off at some point. These must be PSBs.

With that foam gasket/trim-ring on the front of the woofer, I'd certainly believe that they were PSB. PSB certainly used that sort of trim.
