A very RARE speaker...deMars Styrocone corner horn with true 17Hz bass response!

Posted by Mr Blue Sky (A) on August 23, 2015 at 15:47:50

I thought I would post about a fantastic vintage speaker I've just brought home so that the information and photos will exist on internet. Right now there is only scattered mention about this obscure piece of high fidelity history that Paul Klipsch once referred to as a "major breakthrough" in speaker design. Presenting the deMars SC300 speaker system circa 1954. It features a very finely constructed, heavy corner cabinet with a removable grille, four Bozak tweeters and one highly modified Bozak alnico woofer with a massive cone. Let the photos tell the story and feel free to discuss/ask any questions...
