There was a lot of DIY going on in the 60s (still is, of course). I mounted a pair of University 6201 coax types in Rockford cabinets. Made no attempt to optimize the "stuffing." Looked way better than they sounded. My first "real" stereo speakers were KLH 6.

Those universities, could have been made to sound good. I still have my father's Jensen H-510 Coax in a huge Jensen Cabinet.

  Those were pretty pricey for their time. And it's so weird to see "heretofore" in ad copy.

    I still plan to get the system up and running again. I only have one so it will be mono.

But you had better choices ! Like the 604, Jensen, Tannoy or Stephens kits -but these were in the 50s. (gone by the 60s ?)
