Wow those must sound great. The 8" looks a lot like the blackcone SEAS with a more pliant surround.
If you flip one of those they are mirrored, but exact copies nonetheless.

music.
I saw those. Look like Dynaco speakers to me. Not sure where the Sennheiser came from. There is a small badge in the photo. But remind me of the a50 but smaller cabinet.
Not a bad buy if they are comparable. I don't have the asking tho...
Edit, badge is on the other photo that was in the ad. Not here...

UUH, no. Not unless you mean pop the baffle out and flip it.

All roads lead to music
I saw those too. I would have bought them but I already have Dynaco drivers waiting for a project. I'm pretty sure that's the same tweeter used in the A25, A10, A50, etc. The woofers are probably 8" variants on the A50 10" units, 16 ohm in parallel. I owned A50s long ago as part of my first system, wish I still had them. I bet they sound nice if in good condition.

Just piling on to an old thread...
I don't know how their cooperation with Seas came about, but Sennheiser was Seas' distributor in the US for a brief period, according to this brochure. These Sennheiser-branded speakers are rather rare, and I've never seen other similar models to indicate that they were part of a loudspeaker range. I'm therefore guessing that the project had to be relatively short-lived.
The brochure provides a year, as well as a peek at the specifications for the SE2. The speakers themselves are basically a version of Seas' DIY kit Type 35 from the same period, which I owned myself some time ago (they weren't as nice looking as this, though). The drivers are the same (Seas' 21TV-EW and H087, no doubt), and probably the crossover (D008) too. The different front baffle layout and a slightly enlarged (deeper) cabinet seem to be the only real differences. The Sony SS-3200 is another variation on the same theme.
