I picked up today an interesting pair of Fisher speakers,that I was able to find very little information about except that The woofer cones are a two-layer composite porous metal. Liquid nickel was "foamed" into shape, and then sealed with a 20 micron layer of aluminum. The STEC5 was the smallest model. 8" carbon/metal cone woofer, 1 1/4" aluminum hard dome tweeter. 50 Hz - 20 kHz. 6 ohm impedance. 91 dB SPL. Genuine bubinga veneer. 18 3/4 lbs each. They were $250.00 new in 1980 and were Fishers top of the line bookshelf model for that year!There were other models in the series but this is the only set of bookshelf from that series of models!Has anyone here ever heard a pair?Because they are 6 dhms instead of 4 or 8 do I need to worry about which amps or recievers I hook these up to?They sure do look nice,I just hope they sond as good as they look!Brian |
