    Description

    ****************************************SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS!!!*****************************************
    You won't find these at Walmart, that's for sure...
    Up for grabs is this PAIR of Racon Electric 15" ultra high quality loudspeakers..
    ***********OVER SEAS BUYERS INQUIRE FOR ACTUAL SHIPPING COSTS/ POSTED AMOUNT IS A 'PLACE HOLDER" ONLY************************
    These are 1940 or before , and as you might know, look like similar Western Electric, Jensen, and RCA units of that period....It's a very bastardized industry as far as hardware...Racon Electric was somehow associated with (Western Electric) those companies, so if one of you guys can enlighten me with more info,,, I'd add it and appreciate the info..
    This pair was COMPLETELY re-fabricated at PMR in Ohio with all new./ OEM/ AMERICAN made components..
    Fellas', even if you don't buy from me- BUY AMERICAN made speakers...
    Anyhow, they were completely stripped down to the metal.. If it wasn't iron, it was removed...
    .................EVERYTHING has been replaced from the voice coils, out to the front mounting gaskets, so they are basically new units again, only BETTER!
    The magnetic gaps were verified with a gauss/flux probe, and measured just fine, so they were PURPOSELY left alone. They were not de-magnetized/re-magnetized and are riding on their original charges.
    Some people say these old alnico units "sweeten with age", and after hearing them- I HAVE to agree..
    But ya'- new EVERYTHING, and they sound just like they looK!..
    .......These sound so damned good, your ear drums will reach around, and slap your brains out..
    here's some info:

    That about does it for components descriptions. 'You guys know what this high end stuff is, and what it'll sound like.,.
    If you need any other specs- just ask..
    Fellas, I hate to use all of the regular synonyms that people use to describe sound characteristics, but these are so effortless sounding, so pure, so accurate, so  'crystal',  that they have a 3D presentation..
    The deeply curved cones is part of the formulation to get smooth sounding extended range woofers. They almost do a 90* change from coil to cloth..
    Quick, high impact, even, smooth accurate, powerful, fat, thick, beefy and inspirational are what I think of with the low end..
    The midrange is really nice for ANY 15".... It's fast, quick, accurate, and has a sense of presence when you listen to music.. Sort of forward sounding staging/imaging... Very 3 dimensional..
    BOTH of these were tested under full diagnostics, and operate without any rubbing, buzzing, holes, rips, tears, rot or adhesive failures- they work just peachy..
    These have very powerful magnets, very tight coil control, and would be awesome in some sort of (ideally) a folded bass horn, or large straight horn...BUT- slap them in a sealed or PROPERLY vented /ported enclosure, and they won't disappoint either.....Heck, with their smooth extended range, try them in a O.B. set up and see what you think...
    I might just go get out a couple of my W.E./ Altec 755 8" speaker clones, a pair of my F60 deep bullet tweeters, and see what I get..
    Fellas,, these are truly awesome, outstanding, tremendous LOUDspeakers...I absolutely love this set...
    BUT- I am also confident enough that YOU will love them, that I am including my 15 day "NO-GAMBLE" return option from delivery date(((less customer damage))) if for ANY REASON you don't like them, or you disagree with ANYTHING I just typed..
    So, if you need a couple SAVAGE 15" loudspeakers that were in the big 4 from the 40s, then here ya' go!
    ANY questions or concerns, just ask.
    THANKS GUYS!!
