AFAIK Korvette's house brand for hifi was always "XAM" (Max, backwards).
Jensen drivers were widely used as OEMs (or by OEMs; I am always a little unclear on the proper use of that term).

Either "by OEMs" or "as OEM drivers.". OEM stands for " original equipment manufacturer."
I second the post that Korvette's brand were badged as XAM and the ones in your pic look like the pair I just finished dismantling. There are a couple of threads on this site that might give more info.
Here are some pics to compare. The woofer out of mine are large and have some sort of treated cloth for the surrounds. Not sure if they are jensen drivers or not. I had posted a thread asking for some ID help but no one was able to give me any help.
Mine did not have a horn but instead had a 1 inch tweeter. Sound was okay but seemed a little muddy. Perhaps the horn in yours provides the highs my little tweeter could not.

thanks, Wolverine (from UofM territory).
I am picking those up on Thursday. Will have my Technics SA-101 in the to test them before, of course. The seller is a guy handling some stuff a church is selling, and he said these are from a very old woman selling things her late son had...she may be the one said they were Jensens.
If they are not jensen driverrs, I may give $10 for the charity and walk.
