Norman Labs 12-B, Pictures added

Hello to all.
I have a pair of Norman Labs model 12-B. I bought them from my boss back in the early 90's and he bought them new in the mid 80's. In the bottom portion there are two 12 inch woffers and a tower on the top with the
mid range and tweeters. The cabinets are solid oak. On a scale of 1 to 10 they are a solid 9.

Anyway i was wondering if there might be some speaker guys out there
that might be able to help me put a value on these?

Thank you in advance for any help!

They look pretty damn good. I'd say ~ 4-500/pair if you can find someone that wants Normans. They were, as you are aware, not a very well known brand.

Thanks Dan-c
Ya i think they were bought out in the early ninties by another company and shut down.

Norman Lab 12-b

Hi rraite

Seems like we may be the last few owners of Norman Labs System 12's left on the planet. I have the A model. It requires the separate crossover amplifier box. My box recently gave-up the ghost and now I am faced with converting the system to a passive crossover. I don't suppose your are familiar with how your crossover system is configured. I would love to see a photo of the crossover in your system, if you ever have an excuse to go inside the box. I noticed some wire lugs on top edge of the speaker wire hookup area. Is that where the wires to the mids and tweaters go? Hope this is not too many questions, but I really like the speakers, in fact I just had some of the woofers redone at Speaker Works in OK. He is in regular contact with Jim Long, the guy who designed the Norman Labs line. They sounded awesome, just before the crossover amp failed

I think i just bought some model 12 A's, can you post some pics of yours? mine has a different upper portion, as soon as i can get some pics i will post them. I did open the lower cabinet up by taking one of the woofers out, looked at the back, where the wires hook up too and it says Norman Labs Model 8.....soon as i can get some pics i will, any info you all have on them would be help full.

Thanks,

Ron.

What kind of help or information do you need?

 

[markdi]

wow - those look nice

 

[rcwatson1]

Like if there are any parts for these things, the upper portion where the tweeters go has been bastardized so bad, that even Dave at Speakerworks says get rid of them...they are jacked, makes me want to go and hurt the jackhole that did this to them.

anyway, any specs, original wiring diagrams, part numbers, anything of the sort would help...

Thanks,

Ron
