interesting JVC speakers-what vintage ?
http://i7.tinypic.com/24o4tbl.jpg
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 ! |

CORRECTION- THAT IS A 2" RADIAL HORN SUPER TWEETER http://www.oaktreeent.com/Stereo_Speakers.htm I found a set for sale online VINTAGE JVC SK-12 SK12 SPEAKERS Circa 1982 - 84 Made in Japan FOR SALE Great sounding pair of JVC, SK-12 Hi-Fi speakers. The symmetrical design offers a wide dispersion of sound in your small to medium rooms. Neither a large nor a small speaker, this pair is a nice addition to any medium home stereo system. Features includes: - 4-Way, 6 driver design - 2" 360° Radial horn, super tweeter - Dual 2.5" Tweeter -Dual 4.5" Mid-ranges - 10" woofer with non-deteriorating cloth surround - High Range Control to adjust brightness and depth of the over-all sound - 2.25" tuned port to extend bass even further than the woofer already produces - "Real" internal cross-over with Hi and Mid Frequency attenuation controls Specs - Frequency Response = 25-22,000 Hz - Cross-over frequencies at 1000Hz, 5000Hz, and 10,000Hz - 8 O - 80 watts These speakers produce "Deep" bass and are rated at 80 watts. VERY efficient so they are very LOUD, punchy and accurate! Cabinet finish is Walnut grain, vinyl wrapped and sports the expected range of normal scuffing for their age. The grills have suffered a little more over the years but have been touched up and thoroughly cleaned to bring them to the best condition practical (see above photos). All drivers work and sound fine! Tested for all frequencies with a sweep generator. We also cleaned the attenuators for decent performance. You won't be disappointed. Each cabinet measures 24"h x 16"w x 11.5"d and weigh 35 lbs each unpacked Includes our standard 30 day limited warranty ( excluding problems due to under / over powering). JVC SK-12 Cond. 8.5 (less grill issues) $229. Pair. |

Hi, Caine;
I purchased my pair in 1977/78, new. For the record, I paid nearly $800.00 AUD for mine, whch is enough now but was even more back then. Also I thought the base driver was a 14". I also have two pairs of the SX-5. These are a three way large bookshelf type and finished in a lovely light white spruce woodwork. I find things are worth either what you can sell them for, or what you are willing to pay; certainly what you paid sounds good, if you like them. Darrel Odgers Quote:
