Empire speakers...

How good Are Vintage Empire speakers, the tweeter array is interesting.
I head they have a laidback sound to them. I found a video of some Empire Grenadiers being powered by a tube amp and tuner on youtube.

I came across a smaller pair once, but was warned not to buy them by a
realitive, "too much" for somethign like that as they always say. They were $40.00. They had them hooked up to a Mcintosh Receiver that was taped down to one of the speakers as some kind of bundle.... Sounded like a big old console radio...
