    Fisher XP-12 speakers - 1967- nice

    A friend came over today to look at the new OHMs. He says "do you know anything about Fisher speakers ??"
    So I answers "yup , they are crap , unless they are older US made ones"
    We go out to his truck and there is a large pair of walnut veneer Fisher speakers with original owners manual, dated 1967.
    He hauled them in , wired 'em up and my, they sounded OKAY. Looked at the book and they are 3 way with a 12 LF , 8in MF and huge dome HF.
    Made in NY. Called XP-12 Consolette.
    Well , he worried that although he got a good price, there is a low WAF , since he has big Klipsh speakers.
    To make the story short , he left them with me for what he paid. THey will clean up nice, just what I need ....more speakers. Will be forced to flip them , no room for storage. Would be able to live with them otherwise , no problem. Lets see....5 new to me pairs in the last month....
    When will it end ??

    They are related as competitors, exactly as prescribed.

    Maybe you drive them with a JBL amp?

    Take your beef about the site design up with an administrator.

    For now, an apology is what's in order, Storm....

    Question for Seawolf97...

    Do the "fried-egg" tweeters work?

    I have the same system with no working tweeters.

    I plan to keep the cabinet and install new guts in the future sometime.

    I also have no front grills, kind of neat to see what they look like.

    Thanks for sharing!

    funny , I always heard that term with Advent tweeters.

    Yes, I fully tested everything before purchasing.
    I would rate them a little higher than an L100

    The only work they really need is a toothpaste job to the tops to get out some light moisture marks. Very nice that I got the original owners manual too. It has a message from Avery about the specialness of these, and registration cards , etc. (Is is too late to reg my speakers ??)

    Did some goggling the Fisher links and it seems the XP-10 is common , but the XP-12 is not.

    understood. but you asked "w/o removing the finish?" hence...try on bottom first.
