Its difficult to figure as a single OB with no bass and a single Jericho, the left channel is 15 yards behind the right.
What I can hear is a ease, they dont huff and puff like the Fostex magnets that have a driven sound, sorta.
Power is 100v 73ma x 2.

Aaah, ok! they're vintage speakers.
Did you compare the sound with some of the new stuff (no field coil, just alnico)? like supravox, etc?

Supravox EXC, from 1200 € each.
Fertin Model 7, 1900€ each
One german company that i forgot the name, €4500 pair
The above are all 8".
Feastrex (better to not say price, which raises every 6 months or so). In 5" and 9"
Obviously I'm talking fullrange.
