If so, not suitable for normal speakers, as was already mentioned, and only the initial sealed versions. To get the 901 to function, you need a massive "disco smile" EQ curve, since 4.5" drivers don't do bass well, nor high frequencies and must be forced. Even the later models needed a stout amp to work as designed.
