We had those speakers when I was a kid, they are Heathkit. We had them paired with the Heathkit AR-15 receiver, 50 watts/ch. as I recall. This was a pretty hi-end system back in those daze. Thanks for the rekindled memories!! -RW-

Man, I loved that system. I really miss the days when audio electronics came swathed in walnut or rosewood cabinets. It would be nice for a modern mfgr. to offer real wood cabinets for their gear, I'm betting it would be a very popular option... -RW-

A two way system which was about 100 dB efficient. Huge sound with just low powered amp. It was my frost serious pair of speakers when I bought them back in 1971 at Allied Radio which was bought out eventually by Radio Shack. Still miss those speakers. Wish I still had them to play around with. They certainly aren't very appealing looking so little WAF but boy they sure could sing!
