Need Help Identifying Frazier Speakers

[Greenowl]

Hello, first post here, long time lurker. I found these Fraziers at a garage sale this weekend. I'm having trouble identifying the model type, specs, and value. I believe its a 8" and 3" speaker setup, amazingly strong bass. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PMSummer or Shrinkboy should be along any moment.:yes:
Have you tried searching 'frazier'? There are a few old brochure scans in some of the frazier threads.
Try reading this.

I saw pics similar to your in the first couple of posts. Post #8 to be exact.
They are 'Manhattans' I believe. According to Todd Crane.

Thanks Johnny, I wrote Todd and he positively identified these as Mid-50's Frazier Manhatten I's .

I did good.

i'm sitting here typing and looking at greenowl's pics, preparing to write the word "manhatten" when i see he's already gotten to the bottom of it.

if you have a sonic impact/tripath amp of some kind, or a tube amp, you will love these speakers. to me, the old fraziers have a synergy with amps like the SI and Trends Audio that just has to be heard to be believed

I have an old Pilot Tube amp thats being rejuvenated. Maybe they will make a good match.
