Jensen Coaxial

[fdwrench]

Hi,
I picked this up today.
Can anyone tell me something about this speaker?
Jensen Coaxial 3 element 15 inch.
Model number?
What it may have been used in?
Would it be worth the price of reconing?

Thank you
Ed

Probably a nice driver find a box to put it in hook up a mono amp and TT put on a Columbia 6 eye record and prepare to be astounded how good 60 year old sound is.

With the whizzer cone, wouldn't it axially be considered a tri-axial?

 

[radioactive]

its a jensen cx 150 or 255.

I had to Google Columbia 6 eye. Now I will have to find me a nice mono amp.

I have a pair of 600s. When hooked to my Vector Research receiver, they blew the JBLs out of the room.....my auditory experience. At 16ohms and 40watts each, they bump BIG
What you have will do nicely if you don't get TOOoooo carried away

I have a pair of 15" triaxial 600s. When hooked to my Vector Research receiver with 95watts a side, they blew the JBLs 3way 12" monitors out of the room.....my auditory experience. At 16ohms and 40watts each, they bump BIG

6-eyes were issued in both stereo and mono (as were 2-eyes). The stereo labels are very prominently marked.

If you haven't already, peruse http://www.hifilit.com/hifilit/Jensen/Jensen.htm

Also worth looking at late-1950s/early-1960s Radio Shack catalogs:
www.radioshackcatalogs.com

(EDITL not too many R/S catalogs actually seem to have Jensen speakers; see, e.g., pg. 48 of http://www.radioshackcatalogs.com/catalogs/1961/ but these all look different to the one in the OP)
