mondo Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Just found these today at the flea market. At first glance they appear to be 2axs, but on closer examination they are a little puzzling. One grill is nailed in while the second one has the nails removed. I thought maybe one had replacement drivers, but the second pair has identical components. I removed the tweeter (upper left) and it is hand labeled “Phase tech pc60). They have plastic push-button binding posts in the back. Additionally, I cannot find any 2axs with the teledyne-era badges. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ligs Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 The three drivers are not authentic AR's. The woofer seems to be a PA woofer with according edge. Phase Tech has good reputation and It supplied drivers(or even deigned ) for McIntosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hi Mondo My guess is that those are AR-2ax cabinets but with all non-AR drivers. If you gave the cabinet dimensions that would help. Phase Tech PC60 was a nice 2-way speaker system: https://www.stereophile.com/content/phase-technology-pc-60-loudspeaker (but those don't look like the ones in any PC60 pictures).* The top-right driver looks to me like a phenolic ring tweeter. The woofer, with its pleated surround, is not AR. My guess is that if it has push-button binding posts it's some sort of generic crossover, like PE sells. Kent *PS: Just did some more searching. Your tweeters do look like the original PC60. Apparently the speakers were re-issued and it's those that are pictured in the Stereophile article.

mondo Posted June 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Very interesting. Thanks for the replies. They don’t sound half bad! They’ll make nice shop speakers. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
