Hi,
These bookshelves just showed up on FB marketplace in my area for $50. Seller has no idea what they are as there is no label on the back or on the crossover.. I tried google image search but no luck here. Build quality looks decent.

Has anybody seen this speaker? Can you help identify?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure those are MCS speakers. The woofers may have been replaced along with the tweeters. There should be a silver ring around the woofer and a similar soft dome tweeter like the midrange. I had a pair very similar to these.
Sold by JC Penny.
 
Lavane - Thank you so much for ID! I think I will pass in this case. Especially if the drivers are not original.
 
Those are MCS 8225, Wrong woofer, but the 8225 and 8226 did use a cone tweeter. 8227 and 8228 used a dome. What puzzles me is the tweeter switch. Mine and all others I see are not like that.

That was my first thought as well.
MCS made (well had made for them) some decent electronics. But very few (couple?) speakers that were well regarded.
The Technics time aligned model(s?) and some dome mid/tweeter models seem to have been the ones most liked. Not sure if the ones in this thread are that domed mid/tweeter model. Or maybe they were at one time and have since been modified.

My MCS speakers had L-pads like that as well. The tweeters on mine were soft domes like the midrange on the ones posted. I do think the woofer was replaced. I would pass on them as well. I've seen a lot of "upgraded" speakers coming out of Facebook market. The MCS speakers I had sounded pretty good.
The foam finely rotted on the woofers and being it happened before the internet as we know it today, I tossed them not knowing anywhere to get new surrounds.
