More just a general inquiry... i recycle old speakers and i ran across a set of 3-ways and i'd never heard of them before so they were a bit of a surprise. So more history than anything else.
Unfortuneatly the mid-bass on one was dead & the other a bit beat up, but the tweeters were really interesting.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Good point -- i always enjoyed the Sonabs... can anyone confirm that. Peerless also built a similar tweeter.

1/ I can sell them at a good profit
2/ a lot of them sound really good. ie FE103A
3/ in this last couple years i've learning a huge amount (still just scratching the surface) about vintage speakers -- mostly just by having so many pass thru here.

I was the US Importer of that product line starting in 1977.
I had done considerable business with Sinus AB buying containers of automotive mufflers for distribution in the US.
They then encoyuraged me to import their loudspeakers for the US which I did.
They made thier debut at the Las Vegas CE Show in January, 1978.
It was a very good product but we had to effectuate some engineering changes.
Unfortunately after I had spent a ton of money promoting the product in the US Sinus AB decided to cease production!
This then spawned the creation of Sonab as was mentioned
If anyone in Sweden knows of Bertil Rundgren, their national sales manager, I would love to communicate with him.
