Goodmans Speakers


Does anyone know anything about Goodmans of England Audiom 852 woofers? I found a pair of them together with a matching pair of Goodmans Midax 100 horns. I have searched high and low on the www and have found no information whatsoever on these woofers. They have very low serial numbers so I expect the production run was not long.

These must be the heaviest 12 inch drivers I have ever lifted! They are rated at 45 British watts RMS.

Thanks

Back in the 1950s when I started building speaker systems there were two lines of British drivers that were considered to be best...Wharfedale and Goodmans. Of course there were also Tanoy, Bozac, and some others, but they were not that common. I had an 8" Wharfedale and a 8" Goodmans. I prefered the Wharfedale...it had a flannel cloth surround and a very low free air resonance.
