Slowly this audiophile is exploring the idea of open baffle speakers, I have been collecting rare and one off coaxial and triaxial speakers.
This pair of super rare but in mint shape Onkyo 8CX-A1 speakers were purchased on eBay. They flew over from London England to be part of my world. The workmanship and attention to detail is not found in modern day speakers from China.
Onkyo has a history page in where the original 8CX range was born in 1956.
The plan is to have these installed in an open baffle system with a Foster 10" alnico woofer for the bottom end from this pair of Noresco NEC-571 speakers. There is also a crossover in this speaker that will cross to the Onkyo around 600hz. At 100db efficiency these will suit the tube amps perfectly.
More to follow on the evolution of this project.
