What are these speakers?

[Danbo69]

Estate sale within possible driving distance of me if these are worth it. Does anyone have any idea what these are?

Fisher or Wharfdale

Interesting. Any idea about the turntables?

Speakers = Fisher XP 18 (I think)

Looks like a Garrard turntable on the left.

Thanks, Mingo. I think that's a good call on the fisher XP 18. I did a bit of digging and I think you nailed it. And yes, Garrard logo looks pretty clear on the left turntable.

And a Dual on the right.

Looks to be definitely the XP-18. Nice call.
Found this link on an old Fisher AK post.

How do they sound? Obviously good since you have them….. I’ve always wondered what that era of Fishers sounded like.

I looked at a pair of these for $450. Just to massive for me to heft alone, and I didn't have a truck.

Well they dual duty as bedside tables lol. Effortless bass, good mids and highs. Could use a recap to sound better but I'm lazy! Been using them nightly for years without disappointment.

Well, someone else is going to get them. Too many things taking up my time and that's a tad too far away. Plus I kinda like being married and bringing in two 100 pound speakers into the fold might possibly be the line. Not sure I wanna test it.
