Noresco NEC-571 Speakers

I came across another pair of Noresco speakers, the NEC-571. Super heavy, solidly built with a real wood veneer.

Instead of using Isophone drivers, this unit uses Foster drivers. The woofer seems to be Alnico, the tweeter seems to be a full range 3" driver that acts like a mid range/tweeter, it has an open back on the casket but its own separate box inside the speaker.



These speakers sound pretty solid with deep bass from the 10" woofer. The speaker box is an acoustic suspended design.

Efficiency is pretty good as they sound pretty loud on the tube amp.

They remind me of the ADC 303AX speakers that were featured here a few months ago.

The cabinets sanded out the blemishes pretty nice and a coat of Circa 1850 Terra Nova oil brought back the luster of the Walnut. I pulled the old faded speaker cloth off to reveal the drivers, it needs to be replaced.

A much different offering than the Noresco NE-561 speakers featured here early. These have more bass but not nearly the sound stage as the NE-561's.
