Hey folks, I just picked up a set of these speakers, been searching for info on them and no luck. Anyone have or had a pair of these and could share some info on them..Pics are coming in a few.

    Cabinets are rough, have not tested them yet.

    Hope they were cheap. They are from the 80s...more flash than actual substance. Nothing really to write home about.

    Look like Kabuki Town to me! But I bet they're VERY efficient and would make a good set of garage speakers. Probably play LOUD!

    Enjoy!

    There are 3 buttons "clear", "natural" and "soft". No lights, not really efficient. Cleaned em best I could, tightened up the bolts, ran an older denon on them, did play loud quite harsh. Funny is, the bass was rather tight, almost pleasant.
    Actually going to try my first cabinet redo on these. Hopefully the end result won't wind up being kindling sticks for the firepit..
