  1. I picked up a pair of these Akai speakers and want to see if they work without cutting off the 1/4" phone plug.  I think they originally were intended 

    to mate up with a reel to reel deck.  

     

    I was thinking I could get a female jack, solder speaker wire to the correct terminals, then be good to go.  Will that work?  

     

    Thanks!

  2. ***  SOLD  ***

     

    Offering a pair of XF-48 floorstanding speakers.  I bought these new from an authorized dealer in Feb 2010 and they have been in storage most of the time, not a lot of play time. 

    These are active speakers with built in 100W amps and are pretty versatile.  I have them in a bedroom now playing from an iPod.  When I used them in a 5.1 setup, I used the receivers’ pre-outs for front L+R.  They have binding posts, but I’ve always configured them with line in to use the built in amp, so I can’t comment how they function with conventional speaker wire and never bothered trying.  $400/pair.

     

    Gonna see if anyone in North Texas or Southern Oklahoma is interested before I consider shipping.

     

    I also have a pair of XB-10’s on the XFS stands and an XL-23 that would all pair well together if that would sway your decision.  PM for cost discussions.

    Thanks!

  3. I can't get the back off, after taking out the screws, the panel is still glued and I don't really want to pry it off yet.

     

    But I can see most of the driver through the front grill and it appears to be a 12" coaxial, possibly a H222.  

     

    This link,  http://www.shoppok.com/utica/a,49,81488,Rare-Vintage-Jensen-HiFi-Speaker-and-Guitar-Tube-Amp-Cabinet----565.htm, had the same

    cabinet for sale, and they claim it has a H222....  Who knows... 

     

     

  4. Thanks for the replies.  Yes, John, there are grilles on each side in the same cane material, before the cabinet slopes for the corner angles.  I was gonna take off the front, but after removing the 4 knobs, the HF control knob still holds the frame.  Seems odd in that respect.  I will remove the back like seti recommends and see/photo the insides.  

     

    I can't find a pic anywhere of this unit, the closest i found had the HF control on the side instead of the front middle.  Anyway, I'll investigate.  

     

    Thanks!

     

    Edit:  here is what the sides look like

  5. Anyone seen one of these?  Picked it up at a garage sale and it's in great shape, all the cain is intact on sides and front.  

     

    I was fiddling with the balance knob on front and seemed to have blown? the HF section of the driver.  

     

    Something to play around with for a while.

  6. I don’t use this anymore because I don’t have a decent ISP where I live now and can’t stream music, that was my primary use for it.

    I previously used it for music streaming, playback from a USB device, and playback from music library on a laptop PC. 

    Comes with boxes, manual, AC cord, RCA cable, remote, and actual device.

    Asking $225 and I’ll pickup Paypal fees and shipping. 

    Thanks,

    Mark

    Ok, the woofer on the left speaker is a K25K and the right is a K28E.

     

     

     From what I've researched, the K25K is correct for a Forte, the K28E is specified for a Heresey III.  It still works, but that's what it is and how I bought them.  I don't know why one was replaced at some point. 

     

    Thanks,

    Mark
