Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Are these the ones?

Your speakers could be Model R, the 1st speaker made by Fried products after the split with IMF, or the updated Model R II. The boxes and drivers(KEF B139 woofer, KEF B110 mid, KEF T27 tweeter were the same in both versions) The R had a modified KEF Concerto speaker crossover. The R II had a custom crossover with better parts and a 200 Hz crossover instead of 375 Hz. What looks like a port is a deep tunnel heavily stuffed with foam and no sound comes out. It is a version of the Dynaco A25 loading and is also called a variovent. The RII is noticeably more open than the Model R.

I noticed the stands in front of the speakers. They were distributed by Hank Fried, Bud's son.

Lots of memories here for me.
