Speaker ID

[jvanber]

Hey guys, can anyone ID these speakers? Came across them but they don’t have any description. They definitely look vintage.

Screw terminals and a phone plug input.

6” x 13” x 20”

Thanks!

Maybe some house brand.

They're Vintage Art Deco style retro speakers.

lol no idea what I'd be getting into.

Looks to me like someone tacked 2X2" slats to the front of an existing speaker and then stained the whole mess.
Notice that the tops of the slats aren't universally flush with the cabinet.

Good eye, and I agree. The only problem with that theory is the measurements given in the description don't seem to match, but maybe I'm wrong.

Hmmm...look large-ish to me.
Maybe the "13" is actually "33" height-wise???

I'm not sure, but maybe the OP will let us know for sure.

I think the dimensions posted are correct. Look at the first pic, it's sitting on a table.
Should be 13 x 6 x 20 though.

If it weren’t for the silver bases, I’d almost say they have a Mission or Arts and Crafts look to them. My wife liked the look of them.

Entirely possible they're homemade with a thousand dollars worth of drivers inside. Equally possible they're duds that you want to use for military torture sessions. Probably something in between.
Only way to know if you want them is to go listen.

The "art" upgrade didn't do the speaker any favors. Wouldn't the 2x2 slats cause major imaging issues?

These are for sale locally... Tamon, canadian brand.

They look alike but maybe not the same.

Thank you. I picked up some Klipsch KG4’s for now.
