They have a 9x12 Oval woofer & 5" MIDRANGE & 2TWEETERS .tHESE SOUND AWESOME AND REALLY HANDLE SOME POWER. DOES ANY ONE HAVE ANY MORE INFO ON THESE BABYS.
ESS speakers "Translinear" Transstatic
These were speakers designed by California based company called ESS, that is, Electro Static Sound before they used the Heil Air Montion transformer. These models were current in 1970-1975. I am curious if any one still owns either of the above models, or has seem them listed on any of them listed in the used audio web sites. They were incredible speakers for their time,and sounded as good as many of so-called elctrostatics of today. They used good driver elements, for example, the KEF B-139 oval driver for the bass response.If anyone has knowledge of either of these above vintage speakers,please leave info on this Web page. Thank you!!
