RE: No name speakers

If they are duds then who ever did them used good quality drivers.

The tweeter looks familiar but I can't ID it. The mid is a nice looking poly cone. And the woofer has a rubber surround with what looks like a paper cone - also nice.

The cabinet may also be a home built. Some one did a nice job on these. What they sound like???????????

Rule of thumb - three ways were actually far harder to build then originally planned. I see they are sealed. So the midrange cone will be effected by back pressure from the woofer. Not a good thing.

Also you will have no info on the drivers if choose to tweak the crossover, if any? In the old days a crossover was very rudimentary. Some basic parts to crudely and usually by ear, adjust the rolloffs of the drivers. Your results may vary!

Make an offer???? You could reuse the cabinets and maybe salvage a lot of parts?
