Soundmates 3-way bookshelf speaker ID

[Fatlouey]

Hi. I've got a pair of of these. Cabinet is walnut, a little over a foot tall and maybe 6" wide with two 4" woofers and a 1" silk dome tweeter between them. They are very heavy for small speakers. I've looked at all of the Soundmates and KLH threads and pics and I can't find a 3-way bookshelf, just 2-way from Soundmates.

If anyone has info on these, it would be much appreciated. I'll post pictures soon.

Thanks!

Speakers are 13.25"H x 5.25"W x 7.5"D. I hope this link works for the pics

Looking like Koss copies. Could be pretty good.

I agree. The cabs are solid walnut, not veneer, and they weigh at least 10-12 lbs. each. I'd like to know the model so I can find the RMS and Hz range, etc. without getting a woofer code (dissasembly). Again, can't find a pic on Google, or any reference to this geometry, or a 3-way bookshelf speaker by Soundmate. The KLH 3-ways are nothing like these.

In fact, they look identical to the Koss Dyna-mite M80 series, which are 100W max. Maybe I should just go with that....

They are not three way speakers.

They are not three way speakers.

Do you have a pair?

I should have said 3-speaker, I suppose. No reason to assume a 3-way crossover when both woofers appear identical. Thanks for the correction.

I used to work at Soundmates in the early 80's. The company was owned by Donald Leroy Kliewer. He previously made DLK speakers. These were called .375's. I assembled thousands of the cabinets. The rounded corners are solid walnut the rest is veneer. Then I believe he was making the same speaker for Koss and then they were called Dyna*Mite M/80.

They are exact to the Koss M80's in every way.
