Hello,
I am in a position to possibly purchase a pair of RCA LC-1C MI-11411-C vintage 15" dual cone loudspeakers. They seem to be in good condition.
Does anybody know what year /era ? they would have been made in, and are they any good ? Having been used as broadcast monitors I guess they must be pretty reasonable but I'm interested in any opinions ?
Any idea what you would pay for them ?
Thank you.

- only know they're legendary - assuming nothing, including the tweeter, is damaged then should be "desirable"

do the ones you're looking at have the "domes" on its woofer cone? I've heard they load well in the Karlson enclosure. some info from a Japanese blog:
The RCA LC-1 series can be divided into four generations. The first generation is the RCA LC-1 of the Yuanzu, the second generation of the RCA LC-1A (MI-11411A), and the third generation of the RCA LC-1B (MI-11411B). And the fourth generation of RCA LC-1C (MI-11411C).
Basically, the first generation of RCA LC-1 is a coaxial two-way design. The speaker tray has a prototype design. The second generation of the earlier version of the RCA LC-1A is similar to the first generation design, while the back magnet cover is the same. Colored. The second generation of the later version of the RCA LC-1A was introduced in the early 1950s.
The biggest difference was the addition of seven Conical Domes to the speaker tray. The tweeter tray was fitted with a butterfly-shaped Deflector, Conical Dome and butterfly-shaped Deflector also helped the treble to get a better angle spread and interfere with the bass, while the magnet cover behind the later version changed from brown to blue. Later, RCA's RCA LC-1B and RCA LC-1C, which were introduced in the late 1960s and 1970s, also used the basic design of Harry F Olson and were designed and improved by Hans Dietze, while the volume of the Conical Dome was slightly smaller than the earlier version. Increased.

Late 1940s.. Originally designed by Harry Olson, it's actually a coaxial. The C is the last in the series. It's quite wonderful particularly in the original RCA stove box.
