vintage knight labelled jensen mystery

[colinsouney]

Cant find any info on this mystery driver. It looks like a jensen cx, but that tweeter doesnt look like the horn tweeters on the other jensens I see. I though maybe rp302 but the mesh grill stumped me. Maybe someone can enlighten me?

Im amazed that no one has any clue about this speaker either?

I have a clue .....starting with the RP 302's.Most of them did have a screen in the throat.

This may help with a more positive I.D......

I had a single one of those a few years back, sounded ok, not great. The tweeter, however, is very nice. This tweeter uses EXACTLY the same horn and diaphragm as an rp302 . It differs from the 302 in that this horn has a brushed silver finish and, most importantly, it uses a smaller magnet than the rp302. Essentially, this tweeter is a small magnet rp302 with a similar sound and less efficiency. The tweeter is far better sounding (and more valuable) than the woofer.

after reviewing the advertisements, I think its a k-310a. Seems to be the only speaker without a horn loaded tweeter, or large surround around the tweeter. Any thoughts?

kn 800

If you google knight kn800, you will see a pair of Knight KN800's, identical to yours, at worthpoint.com. I would post a link, but I am a computer idiot, or if you listen to my wife, just a plain old idiot. Regards, Andrew.
