These are obscure infinity speakers. I replaced the front Peerless tweeters, did a cosmetic do over, and added spikes (made of plum bobs). Three tweeters per speaker.
They sound good.

 Do they have two different woofers?

Thanks!

Must have used different re-coning kits?, posted on April 5, 2017 at 06:43:34

 Or one was re-coned and the other --- no?

 Hard to say what might have been done over the years. I did not recone the woofers, just reattached a cloth edge section. The peerless tweeters I purchased here at the Asylum from inmate coner. They are great.
These sound better than I expected
