UltraSonic tweeter... Then the specs say 25-20000hz... that is sonic ha ha ha

The big ones have some of the Biggest ceramic magnets of any vintage woofers I've seen.
Not cheap speakers back in the day. I have the drivers and xovers from the 8,000 series 12"ers
with that big 15" magnet structure.

I heard a pair of the 900M Empire speakers someone bought new.
I was not impressed at all. The owner was super proud of the marble top.

Yes I agree. Nothing to write home about. the dome mids and Tweets just didn't cut it. Too bad They were made on Long Island NY Not far from where I had a house.
Empire made some nice Looking Tables the 598 I think was their TOL TT
