Speaker Identification-Please Help

[ChefE]

I recently acquired these speakers. I've looked and looked for information on the internet and still have no clue what they are. They don't seem to be homemade. Or maybe they are?
The veered speaker is a squared 6.5 inches and uses screw down speaker terminals. The one driver is 4.5 inches.
For the size and age, the output sounds pretty good.
Does anyone know anything about these small speakers? Please help I.D. them.

Same driver as the Bose 901 it seems. I'm not much help beyond that.

It was also used in the EPI Microtowers. In the Microtower(MT) 1 it was as a full range speaker. In the MT2 and MT3, it was combined with the Airspring tweeter. The speaker in the pic is much smaller than the microtowers.

Realistic?

Realistic?

I think you have hit the nail on the head. They made a newer optimus labeled black plastic version, with the same swivel action in the middle.

Agree.

Nothing about it suggests Realistic/Radio Shack to me.

It's not a minimus .5, and that was their "tiny speaker" for a long time.
EDIT:

looks like auratones

Yes, early 5C or faithful copy/clone.

Sorry, I thought that was a single pictured. Never mind.

Now i see what you were seeing. :yes:

Right, it's actually two separate "cubes".

I'm with you on the Auratone guess. They certainly have that look.

Reminds me of the BIC midwoofer in my W60E's.
