I have a pair of DBX Soundfield V with 5 way 5 driver system. It is a rectangular box - 18" w x 1" d and 36" high. The front bevels back at about 1/3 the distance down from the top. There are three front and two top mounted speakers. I bought them in January of 1991. Most of the speakers have died. They produced great sound. I pushed them with an Onkyo TX-SV 515 PRO receiver that has also died. If this is what you have, let me know and I will copy the pamphlet that came with it for you. If some of your speakers are bad, I may be able to help you.
dbx Home Speakers
All,
I was wondering if anyone knows anything about dbx home speakers. My dad bought a pair about 10-12 years ago from DAK, a mail-order gadget company from California.
I can't remember the model number, but I think they're Soundfields, either Mark 4 or Mark 7. They're a four-way of some sort, with a rear-firing 15" woofer and some kind of ribbon tweeter.
I've looked around on the 'net and I can't find ANY information about these things. I'm just curious as to what the deal is with them. They don't sound very good, but: My dad's a packrat, so his room is full of junk. The speakers have stuff stacked on/in front of them, and they're right against the wall. Plus, he's driving them with a lousy JVC receiver. On top of it all, he barely listens to them (they weren't even hooked up the last time I was there) so I don't even know if they're broken in.
I'm just wondering if it might be worth the effort to pry them away from him and hook 'em up to better equipment.
If anyone knows anything about these speakers, I'd like to hear from you.
