I was hoping some one might recognize this Jensen driver. It came from a late 30's-early 40's Jensen Imperial Reproducer that had an A15PM for the LF driver. The speaker system sounds great. Maybe not quite like an L300, but definitely great for a pre-war speaker. Anyway, the tweeter looks a lot like a Jensen Q tweeter, but isn't of course since it is uses a PM. Also, it has a pointed plug in the center of the base of the horn, sort of like the JBL 075. It seems to roll off after 9-10 khz and is pretty much kaput by 15 khz. Compared to an Altec 901B, you can see that the diameter of the magnet structure is about the same, and depth of the magnet structure is a little deeper than the 901 structure. Any information anyone might have would be a help. Thanks very much.
