Mystery Speakers???

[mikje]

I picked these up today for $5. They're very solid and heavy. Other than that...???
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

No idea... nice looking tweeter thou.

Numbers don't coorespond to anything EIA, i'd guess Japanese, the metal work looks like some of the more exotic foster or corals i have seen.

Thanks Dave,
They're about 3 - 4 inches across. Will a WT-3 give me any usable info about them?
I picked up a pair of Dynaudio 17W-75 speakers along with them. Any way to tell if the two would be a good match?
Thanks,
Mike

WT-3 will give you an impedance curve which will give you info about how low they can cross, and whether the cone has any serious resonances.

I suspect that you might have trouble integrating them with the Dyn, but the tweeters are probably designed to be run with a single cap in series, so it would be pretty simple to try them together and (if it rolls off smoothly) let the Dyn run out of steam on the top naturally.
