Here are a pair of Hales Audio prototype loudspeakers without a crossover. While the rear panel shows "Concept Three", they're prototype speakers with an unknown heritage (at least I don't know). They do look similar to the Transcendence Five model.
I never used them so I don't know how they sound but surely they can be awesome. You should start with a steep crossover (like 4th order) at 300Hz and 3kHz and go from there.
All drivers appear to be fine from a DCR measurement. They are: HF = 4ohm nominal (3.3ohm measured), MF = 8ohm nominal (5.7ohm measured), LF = 8ohm nominal (7.8ohm measured).
Dimensions are 40" H x 11" W x 23.5" D (cabinet cross-section is 16.5" deep but slanted). These speakers are super heavy at roughly 105 lbs each!
As you can see, the speakers are not in perfect condition and one woofer has a whitish line across it. The cabinets are intact and still have huge visual impact, but they were intended for development and are not pristine. Grilles are not included.
As the value of these loudspeakers is virtually impossible to ascertain, I'll accept reasonable offers. You will almost certainly want to take a look at these before committing to owning a truly unique piece of audiophile history!
