Re: Jensen F12NS field coil speakers

Sounds like you are on the right track! Welcome to the vivid sound of field coils. Just wait until you hear some f.c. compression drivers. This is a technology that, in my opinion, should have never gone away.

One of the best speakers I've ever heard is a circa 1936 Lansing Monitor 500B. This two way horn system uses a 284 driver (daddy to all the later Altec large format drivers) on a tar filled 500Hz., eight cell horn. Below is a 15" woofer in a small W bin. The sound from this simple, early system is so natural, relaxed and complete, it takes my breath away.
