University Loudspeakers Inc

[A23gt]

I picked up a small cabinet with a University 308 8" 3-way coaxial driver. Sounds surprisingly good. Very balanced sound. At first the treble was muffled, but cleaned the pot and played it for several minutes at low volume and the tweeter came into its own. Very appealing sound. I imagine this was used as a mid with a 15" woofer and supertweeter. BUt it does well as a full-range. I have heard rumors that it was designed as a guitar speaker. Can't prove it by my ears.

No, that was a hifi speaker by design, and an old one at that. Made way before University became a sound reinforcement company.

I imagine it would sound fantastic with a subwoofer filling in the bottom octave.

The thing I like about those University tweeters is that they aren’t honky or screechy. Yes, they are rolled off on the top end, but I don’t hear past 15 anyway.
