Speaker ID assistance

Any idea what brand speakers these are? I can't make out the logo under the grill cover.

I don't recognize it, but I wouldn't expect anything too high-end with the vinyl veneer.

I hear you, the stands seem nice and if the price were right I would be picking them up for my buddies shop

Looks like this is what they should look like naked. Other pics I found online show different woofers (I assume these are correct, although there's no guarantee), so presumably some have been swapped out. Make sure the woofers on them are correct. Here's a previous thread.

So they were indeed Precise Monitor 5's, I wound up grabbing them and the stands for a whopping total of $20, the components look to be original as in the picks @swechsler posted above.

The surrounds are slightly deteriorated so I dropped them off at my buddy's audio shop to have him do his thing.

Nicely bought. Since these date to the late 80s/early 90s, I'd highly recommend a capacitor replacement while they're being refoamed. It's likely the caps are out of spec at this point.

^ Good call!, I'm pretty sure he'll test the caps, he's a pretty thorough tech.
