These look interesting does anyone recognize them?

30"tall by 15w x 15 deep w/ 15" woofer.

Edit: OK I see (barely visible) it now in last pic. They are CL 45 Flair's.

Anyone ever heard (of) these?

I didn't notice til after I posted.
They look to be in good condition for their age. They are for sale locally.

The L45 was offered in a wide range of configurations. The standard setup was a 3 way with a 15" 135A woofer, LE5-5 mid and LE25 paper cone tweeter. But you could get the system with anything up to an S8 load; LE15 woofer, 075 tweet and 375 compression driver. The L45 Flair was dubbed the "Super L100" and in it's standard form sounded similar to the L100 with quite a bit more extension of course.

These are classics! Why would you want to lessen the value and put inferior drivers in them? Strike one zonker!:nono:

Yes already horn loaded. Probably a 175 or 85.

Loaded with a horn but not horn-loaded.

Yeah; this is what I get for helping my sister-in-law knock off some white wine last night. Mea maxima culpa. It would be a crime to cut into those baffles or relinquish those compression drivers and horns.

I would quibble with "inferior" though: I'm pretty sure a good modern PT/CD waveguide and compression driver would outperform those older horns. But from a classic and historic perspective, I give.

Loaded with a horn (LE175DLH probably) but not horn-loaded.

Well cd loaded anyway, but you are right.

Looks like a 130A woofer with HL 91 horn and should have a L91 lens. If you find you do not have enough HF extension add a 077 or 2404 tweeter with a N8000 xover, Nice classics
