I think you can also find these Electro-voice branded as well.
EV used re-entrant mids in their bigger vintage systems. Gives vocals that wonderful "cupped hands" sound, you know, it sounds like all the vocals and critical mids are coming out of a piece of 8 inch stovepipe about 10 feet long. Paul Klipsch captured this effect with his heritage loudspeaker models perfectly. IMO, LaScala demonstrates this effect in spades.

Not all vegetables make good leaders.
They may make nice waste baskets.
I'm still thinking about using one for my security system. I can hook them up as speaker/microphones

you can always put a high pass filter on them above where they really start to honk and run a sub of some sort, bucket sub comes to mind.

Yeah, limit them to the 250-2500 Hz analog telephone BW and they're not too bad.

Loud is Beautiful if it's Clean! As always though, the usual disclaimers apply to this post's contents.
i took them apart to see what was in them.
a 6" speaker and a little compression driver. the compression drivers work pretty good, and the speaker cones were covered with mud daubers. i'm going to see if i can find a couple 6" Sylvania speakers to replace them. I'm not sure what the old ones were. but i like the Sylvanias.
