Can anyone I'd these?? For sure they are west german as they are stamped
1979 HIFI LAUTSPRECHER. They do have an euro vibe like RFT speakers in a way. Also I think the case for speaker is fibre glass with the front panel being mdf. Any ideas to what it is? I'm stumped.

Someone probably brought them back from Germany when they were in the Army. doubt they were ever sold here. But yea, Braun, M&K, Canton, etc something like that.
 
First thought was Braun but then I thought it could possibly be Grundig or Visionik as well.
Have absolutely no idea what specific model no. though.

FWIW

Definitely Visonik. They resemble the Euro 7, but the Euro 7 was a 3-way, and those look to be a 2-way like an ADS L700.
 
Looks like something out of the Quelle catalog back in 1978 that I wanted to buy but had no way to bring home.

You should hear me. Even after almost 20 years. Although I should actually be quite proud of being able to make so many people laugh so often and so loud.

I'm going to guess that the speakers in question sound like a typical German speaker: Wonderfully clear, with tight bass and great imaging. I haven't heard any TSM's yet but would be very surprised if they don't sound very good.

OP: If you recap them you might find that many German speakers of that era used custom caps that show a part number and voltage rating but no µF value. Post and ask if that is so and I'll try to help find the values.

Cheers,

BTW, I'd have to go with the Puris 62 as top candidate. The photos that I find of the Puris 200 show an overhanging top and bottom plate and round frame tweeter. The Puris 62 has a flush baffle and plastic mounting studs for the grill, as well as a square frame tweeter, as shown in OP's pics.

The box measurements should tell us a bit.
Puris 62: 390H x 220W x 220D
Puris 200: 400H x 210W x 240D

Both are 4 ohm.

The Puris 62 is a 2.5 way made in the '80's while the 200 would be a bit older, late '70s.
Sorry, that's all I can find for you so far.

Cheers,
James
