Saturday Night Speaker ID Request!

[Jereostereo]

Thanks in advance to anyone that can assist. Came by these small triangular speakers today along with some other nice gear from the 70’s. Dynaco amp, Sansui tuner, Dual TT and a pair of Martin USA speakers. The previous owner said he paid quite a bit for these little guys back in the day. They do sound very very nice. They are 14” high, and that is a 6.5” woofer. No ID anywhere. Any thoughts? Pics attached.

Pretty sure they've been asked about before.
Hopefully someone will post what they are.

I did see a pair similar to these. They were CS (Chicago Speakerworks). Part of a 3 piece system, (sub and satellites).

An AK friend of mine, Wolverine, has a pair of speakers built like these which are Fried speakers. I'm wondering if these could be Frieds. Nice build quality for their size.
Would not have been cheap in their day. If so, they are desirable.

Add a powered sub.

100% Fried sans bottom half!

100% Fried sans bottom half!

Art these yours? If so, what do you think and whats in the bottom half? My friend only has the tops like the OP.

I have had Fried speakers before - very nice gear. Thanks for the info.

Looked around a bit and it seems these speakers do just fine as monitors and provide surprisingly good bass - that was my initial reaction. Any thoughts on how efficient these would be? I am tempted to try them in a bedroom system with a 17.5 WPC 6V6 tube amp. Thanks!

Those were on the interweb. I have a set of studio IV TL that look similar to them
