Just got a nice super clean pair of vintage Jensen TR-10U Tri ette
speakers off of Craigs List locally for $100. As I mentioned some time
back, these were the speakers that my Dad had in his old Eico Hi Fi
system back in the late 50's early 60's.
The speakers are 16ohm 30 watts max, voiced for tubes for sure.
Each cab has a 12" woofer, 8" mid and a horn tweeter. They sound great
with the Eico HF-81 powering them at 14 watts per side. Very
efficient!
The cabinets are unfinished and spent most of their life inside an
old console cabinet. I applied some furniture oil and brought back the
finish to a light antique oak appearance. Looks nice. The date code on
the back data sheets indicates a Feb.1961 production year!
These speakers have a nice warm mid range, not too heavy on bass.
The treble adjustment on the back of each speaker I have turned down
to about 1/4....they sound really nice when playing Jazz or Acoustic
music.
Just about finished with replacing the old HiFi system from my
early youth. Would like to get a nice tube stereo FM tuner to finish
it off. Maybe a Scott, Dynaco or Fisher? As long as it doesn't require
an add on multiplex to get stereo.
Just thought I'd share this bit of information with the
group....Take Care
