great speakers I own the same pair. I wouldnt sell mine for that price.... Paired with my M&K volkswoofer they are awesome all around!

I wish I had room, they look interesting. Looks like Peerless tweeters.

 

[nolasally]

they are peerless

They're "THAT" good?
They're only like 20 minutes from me but a buck and a half for the pair? What is it in your listening observations that makes them worth that much?
I have the same tweets NOS in my pile-o-crap, from when I worked @ Market Speaker back in the 80's, which liberated $20.00 new out of my pocket then.

I'm trying to see where the mid century part comes in.

 

[toxcrusadr]

Me too. Obviously not super knowledgeable about mid-century.

 

[EVBoy]

Nice speakers but only about $50 nice.

That wouldnt even buy 2 peerless tweeters... Boy you all are cheap.... Look at what 150.00 buys you at Best Buy or on Amazon.. Made in China JUNK!!!

How big are those cabinets?

 

[nolasally]

They are 14" tall, 18" wide, and 9 1/2" deep.

Don’t see Jennings much, those are close to me and tempting, but would have to be much cheaper.
I picked up a 3-way pair of Jennings with that exact tweeter and a PR, both woofers had VC shift and a mid was toast so had to part them out.....still sad about it.

Jennings' cabinets were very well built and nicely veneered. While not released in mid-century, they would be at home in a Danish-modern decor.

These days, "midcentury" means it has wood and looks old. I see it on CL ads all the time to describe vintage gear.

I sold mine, much better speakers out there.
