Help with ID'ing Griffin Loudspeakers

Thumpersteve · 19th February 2011, 05:39 AM

Hi, new to this forum and hoping for some help in identifying a set of Griffin Loudspeakers I acquired recently.

From the little I can find here, it appears they may be Model 27's, can anyone confirm?

Happy to remove drivers and get serial numbers if required - the cabinets have labels on the back stating "Griffin Loudspeaker Model:" with no visible number stated, also "Left" and "Right".

Thanks,
Steve

Seems they are not "27"s

Thanks Dave, I'd read elsewhere that the 27's were a twin port design so had assumed (wrongly), based on the apparently limited model variation, that these were Type 27's.

My entire knowledge of Griffin is in the thread that i linked. One of the posters worked at the factory.

There is nothing to say that with a small company models "progressed" over time.

Your boxes are substantially larger than the one in the thread... yours also looks to have the higher end Coles 4001.

The post in which you pulled the dual ports from has some significant (or missing info) The sensitivity is certainly not as stated, but they could be the numbers pulled from the KEF data sheets where sensitivity is specified with pink noise at 10V in (B200 for instance comes to 96 dB at those levels)

Thanks again Dave. I'm not fussed about the sensitivity (and always take any quoted single figures with a tonne of salt, unless they're backed up with SPL charts). Simply want to satisfy my curiosity about these beasts and glean a little of their history, of which there seems precious little on the information superlayby.
