Got these from Zincman. What a score! They are not in their final resting place, but will be by the time the next wrongsideofthetracks fest rolls around!!!!

Colin, those speakers are beautiful, they look new.
What drivers are in them, and what are using to drive them with?
I am jealous, I hope to have some nice horns some day.
Enjoy!

That looks great! Looks like good wood, nice finish and the grille cloth looks to be in good shape. Are the drivers also in good condition? What a find!

Colin,

Nice set of "bookshelf" speakers you have there!

Norris: 416A 15" woofer and 802D compression driver with N500E crossover.

Basically a A7 Voice of the Theater design in walnut furniture grade finish.

I believe it is a 16 ohm system

Regards, Ron

I'm glad Tim and Ron spoke up and told us what's inside. I have not had the backs off yet. I've only seen Tim's picts of the inside and they are perfect.

Oddly enough, I still like the look of the A7 VOTT cabinet. Those are them in back of my truck when I was picking them up from Ron's (Spkrmn57) house. Please note Ron's garage. Let's just say it doesn't end there.

Right now I'm driving with a PP EL34 integrated (Cayin TA-30) and I'm pretty happy with it......Colin
