Fisher Sound Panel 1972
in Commercial
This has certainly been a period in my life when strange speakers walk in the door looking for a doctor.
Latest patient - the Fisher Sound Panel ca 1972
The "R" denotes the "baffle" pattern
Inside is interesting:
I wanted to like these a lot - I had experimented with PE "exciters" a few years ago and found the sound field to be engaging,
and seemingly pretty balanced low to high. But I didn't like what I was hearing.
A quick session with Omnimic showed the problem:
Playing with EQ on Windows 10 made them sound almost acceptable, but in the end I will be glad to return them to their owner.
But it was an enjoyable excursion. 
But Chahly - Stahkist don't want speakers that look good, Stahkist wants speakers that sound good!

That's...interesting. Is it really just a piece of styrofoam with an exciter ? The shape looks a little too much like the old Yamaha NS-250, but I don't think I've ever seen those from behind to know what they looks like on the inside.
Looks very "warm" sounding, based purely on the graph. I can dig the grill cloth, it would look groovy in my living room. Does anyone remember BES speakers?
It really is styrofoam, extruded a bit thin for the "bass" driver, and a little thicker for the "tweeter".
And although I saw several references to a "divider network", all I found inside was a 3.5N resistor.
I was going to reference that yammy as well , thats groovy . I like old sh$#$ like this !!
Very cool, even if it doesn't measure great.
