Commentary
A bookshelf type speaker system using a well-established unit.
The unit is equipped with the equivalent of FE-203 which is a 20 cm cone type full range unit.
The enclosure is hermetically sealed and has a walnut finish on the exterior.
* The weight described in the catalog is completely different between the 60's and 70's. As for the appearance, the emblem etc. is also different, so it seems that there was a specification change (efficiency etc. may be a difference in measuring method).
