I came across a pair of Jensen 700XL speaker cabinets in beautiful condition, with no speakers in them, but I had to have them. My first plan was to buy original speakers for them, but have you seen the selling prices of these speakers? I just can't do it. So my question is, what non-original speakers would you load these with? New or vintage. And I'm on a budget.
I've had Fisher speakers in my living room since the 1980's, and my goal is to replace them with better sounding speakers, using these Jensen cabs, and hopefully spending less than $200. And maybe even increase the wattage from the original 40 WPC of the Jensens. I will be driving them with a Pioneer SX-780.
I have an Infinity subwoofer, in case there is a lower-cost option for woofers without extremely deep bass.
Believe me, if I could go with original speakers I would.
Original Specs: super Low Resonance 12-inch FLEXAIR woofer with 3.6lb. DP-Alnico-5 magnet, horn-Loaded midrange with carefully co-ordinated 5-inch driver. compression-driver horn loaded Super-Tweeter, SONO-DOME Ultra-Tweeter.
Thanks for any advice you could offer.
