ok, maybe not exactly, but still so cool with the 60s legs and all. I got a pair based entirely on the cool cabinets. Mine came loaded with Knight kn615hc and despite the CL ad saying they "worked great!", the tweeters were blown. I got them replaced and even sourced a NOS whizzer that I managed to mangle when I took apart the drivers (grrrrr). Anyway, these speakers sound fantastic. Super nice highs.
After some deep interweb research I've found these are Gamber Johnson speaker cabinets. More commonly known a Gee-Jay cabinets, it appears they were available from a number of retailers who could stuff them with whatever drivers the buyer would like (or maybe they only came with Knight/allied as that's what I've seen them with mostly). They are smallish, and from looks I think the 12" would mate better than the 15" mine came with.
One day when I finish the refinish job on mine, I'll post a pic. Thanks for this post to spread the word to our audio bros about what a great speaker this is in all its variations.
