Big Red Supers, the Electronic Crossover, and HF "Equaliser" Units - Can You Help Id?


Last Friday I had what appear to be "Big Red Super" components in 20 cu ft cabinets delivered to the house.  These came out of a local recording studio.  These were set up for tri-amping was included the electronic crossover, a pair of "High Frequency Equaliser Networks," and the speaker cables.

It would be nice to know who made the electronic crossover and the Networks.  Is there anyone here with experience with these pieces?

Thanks

The "Radio Shack" woofer is actually a Utah woofer and was their best offering. Sal used this "Radio Shack" woofer in many of his offerings used with the Altecs.

I would still love to find out who these were specifically made for because they are obviously a custom offering intended for a studio in the Southern Califonia area.

At this point, I’ve teamed them with a Marantz 1180DC for the preamp and horns and a pair of Marantz 140DC amps for the four woofers. I also have the matching tuner with the scope. One of the 140DCs was recently recapped with Mundorfs and both, and and the 1180DC, were just professionaly gone over and any repairs made/solder reflowed (receipts).

I rarely use them (uncomfortable seating to listen to them) and the system could be had as a whole to the right collector.
