Does anyone knows this Peerless?

Hi to all!

I just run into a person selling 4 Peerless CSX 217H / 850134 8 Inch Woofer.

Does anyone knows this model? I was thinking of buying them for a diy project... a 3way Studio Monitor.

Sure that's not '850136'?

I found this spec sheet, but 6-digit number is 850136, not 850134.
Perhaps a typo?

Looks pretty similar! What is the Peerless CSX Series known for? would they work for sub frequencies on a 3way design?

re:'sub frequencies on a 3way' - that was my thought when I saw the 850136 spec sheet, might require a large box though

I saw that too! thanks for that spec sheet. I really like that fs on 27hz. Looks interesting...

I never worked with peerless woofers. How do they sound in general? I am looking for a transparent design...

generally good quality and easy to work with. I think the ones you're looking at were from the era when they were actually made in Denmark
