Hi! They look like MCS 8320 Linear Phase speakers.

I had the same or similar speakers.
JC Penney MCS 683-8330
Not that good. I got it for $20 and sold little more later.

Like these:

I agree- they look like MCS time aligned speakers. Some people really like them. If I were you I'd see if I could listen to them before I bought them.

My guess is that these would have been manufactured by Matsushita - they were very into time-aligned speakers at the time (via their Technics brand), and a lot of MCS stuff was made by them.

Yes, they were made by Technics. They are essentially the SB-L200 with a cone tweeter instead of the horn. I own a pair of the big brother SB-L300, and like them very much. I've been curious how much of a difference the horn top makes.

If the price is right, I would take them. If you do, be sure to put some foam on the deck. I ran mine for quite a while without replacing the bad foam, and was shocked at how much of a difference it made when I did.
