Ragonda loudspeakers

DJMAC · 30th June 2008, 05:10 PM

Hi everyone, Trying to find out about these speakers, My older brother has had them for about 18 years, The guy he got them from said they were Ragonda speakers (Russian). The original drivers are no longer in them. I had a look on google and havint found anything yet.
Has anyone heard of them? or no anything about them.

Thanks Mac

This a pic of one of them, It has none of the original drivers, Have a pic of them before the drivers were replaced, will try and find it.

They'll be from one of the audio sytems sold under the Rigonda 'Bolshoi' name.
In some respects, these were better than the average Western music centres of the time, but were not really hi-fi by most peoples' definition. Looked quite impressive, though!

Here you are - something like this (there were dozens of similar models):

They were Rigonda .

I seem to recall that some mags rated some models quite highly in the budget category at the time.

I think these are the same speakers as here. They were for sale and the best offering was about 10€. They look massive, but actually they are ~6 watts...

The numbers are as follows:
Bass driver: 6ГД-2 (ГД is read as GD, first number is Pnom),
Midrange: 4ГД-28,
Highs: 1ГД-3,
R(equivalent at 1000Hz)= 8 Ohms,
Pnom=6W;Pmax=12W,
Sensitivity around 92dB(1W/1m),
Freq. response 40-15000Hz +/-15dB.

It is highly unlikely that you'll find the same drivers now, something like three decades later.
