I recently ran across these at an acquaintance's home- he was moving
and had these stored there, and didn't have the space at his new
apartment for them. I ended up getting these speakers and a huge
Kenwood amp for $50 lot price.
Does anyone know what vintage they are ? They have a JVC logo on them.
They have one large 12" woofer, 2 mids, 2 tweeters, and one tiny piezo
tweeter- also (2) adjustable crossovers for mid and high, and (2) bass
ports.
I gave them a good 3 hour test run last weekend- imaging with my SEP
tube amp was amazing.
Are they worth anything ? They also have removeable front grills with
wooden lattice design.
thanks in advance !
I guess it pays not to listen to people who have no life on Usenet.
CORRECTION- THAT IS A 2" RADIAL HORN SUPER TWEETER

Great sounding pair of JVC, SK-12 Hi-Fi speakers. The symmetrical

Neither a large nor a small speaker, this pair is a nice addition to
any medium home stereo system.

If you keep you head stationary its not too bad.
