Heavy little speakers. I’ve never heard of this speaker co., have any of you?

    Made in Dallas from the 50's until the 70's. My dad used to be a Frazier dealer. My favorite was a Mark VII model powered by Marantz 2270. I recall them using high frequency horns though that the Monte Carlo doesn't show.


    The knob was most likely treble adjustment.

    Orion shows the Super Monte Carlo model was made from 1967-1972.
