Doesn’t make sense, though. http://www.oaktreevintage.com/web_photos/Speaker_Parts/BIC_Formula-5_Stereo_Speakers_parts_web.jpg Design definitely reminds me of those Bic Venturi speakers I had back when I was 19.

I don’t know where you live but we got bad areas here too but I’ve never had a problem in all my years of meeting strangers buying audio gear. Just trying to help out the seller of these speakers identify what they are, they look like pretty nice speakers and are probably a bargain at his asking price. Are they Fried or RSL’s (Rogers Sound Labs) or Chapman by any chance?

They look like the later versions they made before they went out of business. They also made a couple of nice belt drive turntables back then too. I think BIC stood for British Industries Corporation. I think......

I think it looks more like an Alon speaker. Anyone wish to try again? Thanks :)

sfall Details Discussions Posts This discussion Message User 346 posts 04-08-2017 at 06:35pm Copy Comment URL Report Comment Edit Delete One of the reason's I think the speakers are home made, is when you look at the pic's with the grills off, the sides of the cabnets extend well beyond the FR drivers. That's almost never done. That's why I said in my first post someone was trying to copy other speakers.
