Matthews Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I know nothing about these speakers. I don't need them but can't decide if I want them. Sister picked them up for $150 and offered to sell them to me for the same. Is this a classic loud speaker well worth grabbing up? Do they have a good potential to need some updates/repairs. Any information greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennie Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Always good to see you my Friend! Those do look like nice speakers.... 3-way floor system has 12" woofer, 6-1/2 mid and 1" soft dome tweeter. Walnut veneer cabinet. Black grille cloth. Main and tweeter fuses are located at the back of the cabinet. Crossover frequencies: at 350Hz and 1kHz Impedance: 8 ohms Output: 87dB @1w/1m Power rating: 100w Size: 37-3/4"H, 17-1/2"W and 11-13/16"D Weight: 66 lb.

Matthews Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Always good to see you my Friend! Likewise Dennie, life is good [] Thanks all, now have a set of McIntosh loudspeakers for the bedroom of my new house. Will run them thru SYSTEM II. Shoot, did not even know McIntosh made speakers. Will be December before I can give any updates, doing a complete gut and remodel of the new pad. Have even incorporated a special little insulated corner wall for one of the 7's in the remodel. Pretty exciting stuff for me. Rock on my Friends ? ? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
