I have a pair of Image loudspeaker that I have no info on.

It's 24" tall and 10½" wide and 11⅛" depth

8" woofer and 1" tweeter

Tweeter got only 3 mounting screw.

There is no name on woofer or tweeter inside.

They are 4Ω speaker.

Here is a picture of one of them.

Thank You

Man, those look an AWFUL LOT like Paisleys! Not exactly the same, but almost EXACTLY the same drivers.

Probably something API built, I'd almost bet on it!

Gordon.
 
Hey Thinker10!

I've got the exact same speakers and been trying to research on them too... Guess we have our answer now!

I've replaced the woofers in mine since the surrounds were shot and I really like the result, great speaker for jazz...

Cheers, Sky

Here are a pair of Image that I found at the thrift for $5.00 a pair. They needed refoaming that has been done. I like the sound...not to bassy and a nice mid to high end.
The 2nd pic shows a set of Polk 4 on top of the Image that I got at the Salvation Army for $2.00. Came without grills or tweeters. I dropped a set of HPM 40 tweets in because I had nothing left in my parts to fit them. They sound pretty darn good mated with the Image being driven by my Sansui 8080.

Image speakers

Hi all
Whos the owner of the pics of Image reference 5 speakers shown here if you still own them please contact me i would love to know more about them
Thank you
 
Yup....I have 4 pair of Energy's....2 sizes ....they look exactly the same,with rotted foam surrounds! Projects for a rainy day!
 
Interesting. I have Paisley Model 10's. Didn't realize that there was another API line that, yes, it seems is a dead-ringer for Paisley Research.
 
I've got a pair of black Image Reference 2's that i bought new in 1990. I had to get them refoamed last year.
I love my Refs 2 dearly great clean sound especially since I run with my carver hr722 I bought at the same time.I think they were around 600 but got them for 300 on new years day sale.
I still have thier glossy brochure I got with my receipt when I bought them in London Ontario.
 
Here is my pair with the new foam surrounds.
Also my newly acquired minimus7 with crossover mod I got from CL
