Large Pair of unknown thrift speakers

actually that right in line of where they're going for now older triaxioms get up into the 1200 range those being lafayette and newer lowers the price a little bit

Yes, the Goodmans seem to be very popular in Asia these days and buyers are snapping them up for shipment there
 
Wow, kbott, that's one hekuvan offer for those cabinets. HatchetJack, those speakers will probably sound fantastic in the correct cabinets. Of course, it sounds like the cabinets that the drivers are currently in were built by a well-known fixture around Georgia, so they are probably built correctly.
 
kbott,

If HatchetJack doesn't want your cabinets, please let me know--I have a pair of 604Es looking for a home.

Thanks,
eurasian
 
Spent the better part of today recovering the grills with some fabric from
Hobby Lobby. He sure didn't design these with service in mind. The frames
were glued in along with 21 flat head screws, about a box of staples
and also attached to a mid brace. I found an error I think as both woofers
were installed with the little tweeter horn up and down. I noticed when I
first listened to them the sweet spot was very small so I rotated them 45*
when I reinstalled them. Kbott I think I will just keep these cabs but thanks
for the offer.

I assume there are capacitors in the crossover. If they are the electrolytic type they may need to be replaced unless of course everything is working properly now. :D
 
Are you shure you just did not have the speakers right side up? Sounds more plausible.

Back in the golden days this triax format was amazing no issues with driver placement, etc. to deal with. Just throw them in an infinite baffle or vented/ported cabinet that was well braced and go to town. Many of the big name companies these and 2-way systems and the construction was more than amazing.

Great find, you lucky person. The cabs look so good it is difficult to imagine they were in other than a home environment. I wonder if Dobbins can shed any light on their history.
 
I am no expert by any stretch, but I believe that many of the vintage horns were designed for vertical alignment for optimum high frequency dispersion. Hopefully, a true expert will chime in regarding your horn alignment.
