Strange old Sphere-speaker questions????

I just recalled something that has been bothering me for a while. A former neighbor of mine used to have a pair of peculiar sphere shaped speakers (they were old, not the new Gallo speakers) They were heavy, black spheres about the size of a Basketball that rested in chromed tripod ring stands about 2 feet off the floor. The speakers had a slot about 5 inches long facing towards the floor and another, shorter slot opposite that had the HF driver behind it. My neigbor recalled these speakers originally went with a very modern looking rosewood and steel console system, that had broken down and was long gone. I recall they sounded quite good for the unusual design, but nobody could remember who made them. The owner did think they were from the late 60's or mid 70's, but he purchased the system secondhand so he was not sure. Thanks for any help, Sincerely, Doug Eisemann |
