Saw these at a thrift store today. Anyone recognize them?

No Markings on the outside. They kind of look like ashtrays, don't know if they sound like ashtrays.

Anyone?

Thanks.

    those are 70's retro end tables with built in humidifiers! lol
    Most of them only hear how loud it sounds, and the rest of us hear everything else - :rolleyes:

    I wonder if they could be a mid/late 60's Bang&Olafsun. Nice to see that Austin Powers donates his Shagadelic gear when he upgrades his kit...

    They look like omni-directional speakers to me.

    I would think the cone shape helps spread the sound in all directions so that during listen sessions or swinger parties;) the music would seem as though it was coming from all around you.
