What are these Heathkit speakers?

Utah also made some very similar coaxials, that ribbed cone looks like the one used on a couple of the Utah's as well as the EV TRX's.

I would say those lean toward the "better" side with their horn loaded HF.

Thanks Bowtie.. I could believe Utah easier than EV.. the baskets are just too different for EV.. I figured they would probably sound pretty good.. I was thinking if the price stays cheap, they would go into my garage system and be a nice improvement in sound.. .

BTW.. about those horns.. I was thinking that was probably the reserve, and more than I would wnat to dish out.. but I had no clue the proper drivers cost that much.. WOW...

and FWIW... there is a nice looking pair of A7's up for sale at the regular place.. $900 BIN.. but pick up only.. Cally... :cry:
 
I passed on a pair of these one day locally, and lived to regret it. An auction on the epay ended at around $250. If they are the same ones, they are very efficient speakers at about 102dB. Can't speak for who made them for Heathkit.
 
I will toss out jensen, the model is like AS-73 or something like that. I have a few pairs of heathkit speakers and most of the ones I have are by jensen. Not all that bad of a speaker but not worth fighting over unless I was to toss a pair out on the bay.

For 10 beans I'd be all over those pups. They look like Jensen Sigma series to me.

Patience grasshopper... I've learned with e-bay... hopefully someone from here won't undercut me... I found them.... and had to ask... if they stay cheap... "one shot.. one kill"

Cool to hear another Jensen vote.... I'm still hoping for old EV.... kinda rare-er

They went for less than $15.00!! Hope it was you that scored them similost. If they sound anything like my 12" Heath AS-27`s you`re in for a treat. Should sing well with tubes.:yes:
 
I have the AS-183 pair with the round horn in the middle, similar to the Jensen H-223 I believe. What surprised me was the great amount of bass output. They came in some rather big vented enclosures though which probably helped in that matter. I don't use them only because I have way to many other sets hooked up. One day I'll hook them up to a SET and see what I get. I would suspect great imaging from this type of speaker.

I was out of town, and could't get to a computer, so I missed them. I checked them the second I got home last night and was bummin... :tears:
