University Loudspeaker

Time has told me...
Went to about the most interesting estate sale I've ever been to today. This guy had everything imaginable; audio, books, records, old tv's. I purchased a few things. One was this huge corner speaker cabinet. My 11 year old is standing next to it for reference. Inside was a Realistic 15" woofer #40-1008. Also a University T-30 horn and a smaller University HF-206 horn. Not too much info out there about University. Any thoughts?

I bought a home made speaker from an older guy. He told three times while we were talking, "it's got a University tweeter in it". The fact it was a University tweeter really meant something to him. They must've been good components in the 60's. I had not heard of University drivers until he sold me the speaker. The speaker does sound good.

Hi EK,

Man, that Speaker looks to be one Hell of a find! Ooooh, I would of loved to have found that baby myself! Anyway....my most listened to system consist of a Corner Horn (maker unknown) Cabinet (which I call "Lone Wolf") and a circa 1955 CABINART Corner Horn housing a 15" Stromberg Carlson Series 400 Co-axial Driver. Inside "Lone Wolf", is a single 12" UNIVERSITY 6201 Co-axial. I personally LOVE the mel-loooow/easy to listen to, sound of this Speaker using my Fisher 400 Tube Receiver. At any rate, I do believe you have the makings of a SWEET vintage MONO system!
Congrats on a wonderful find!

Regards,
SixCats!
 
Very Cool !

I love those funky Cobra-flex mid-horns . . .

with a little bit of hunting, you could swap out the Realistic 15 incher for a University C15 series woofer . . . make it period correct :thmbsp:
