This pair of speakers are serial#'s B432750 and B432751. Their model # (I think) is only on their wire connector terminal plate on the rear (pic4) while the tweeters are marked "INFINITY POLYCELL Polypropylene cellular dome tweeter". Their woofers likely have cones of a similar plastic material, though one looks slightly more yellowed than the other now they were obviously always 'see-thru' to some degree. Their cabinets appear to be walnut veneer, nice woodgrain but no labels for that.
Having only come into my own collections recently, I haven't had time to research them, clean the cabinets and grilles (obviously) or even to test them for functionality, but I'll be pretty surprised if they don't want to work. Guessing they're 1990's or 2000's age-wise, but I don't know that yet either. If I do eventually find a place/sound source to be able to try to use them, I hope that polypropylene stuff isn't the kind of plastic that gets brittle over a few decades...it'd sure be disappointing if the speaker cones (and/or their surrounds, but that's more typical as well as fixable) self-destructed themselves... <eeek><nono>
Wow, looks like the speaker surrounds are still intact, usually rotted out on old speakers. Easy to repair..
THANKS to vetraio50, fortapache, dav2no1, and mikelv85 for your <love it>s for this set of speakers -- which I can happily report seem to work *just fine*, at least as of earlier tonite when I finally piled 'em up with my existing sets of speakers, now making a total of two pair of speakers per channel, 2 front/2 rear + the sub cube all ultimately being driven by my Crown studio amp...it doesn't mind at all... ;-) :-) :-)
I checked them with an online recording new as of this morning 08Aug2021, a piano and organ duet called "Thou Wilt Keep Him In Perfect Peace" performed at the very beginning of today's church service at South Main Baptist Church in Houston. They've got a new piano since I was there last, but the Pipe Organ is still the very same one I've bragged about here before, having given the better part of a year and a half of my life to help get built and installed there just a few years ago. Every time I've heard it since it makes me pleased and proud to have had that honor. :-)
And anyone willing to try to navigate the websites can find the very same here: https://www.smbc.org/ If the link to today's service doesn't still appear on that home page, it'll eventually end up somewhere under their 'media' tab there. The chiming of the hour begins at 02:30 min in, the music starts just after 03:00 and is finished by 06:05.
For any brave enough to attempt it, it *IS* a most peaceful and calming melody well worth a listen, gorgeously played by both. The first hymn is "Praise To The Lord The Almighty" shortly thereafter which is also great musical fun, ifn's anybody would want to also hear the organ show out in a different more traditional role -- 'lets make this big 'ole roomful of people *SING*?!!'
