Vintage JENSEN 6 1/2" Full range / Midrange loudspeaker 6BAV 4 ohms from 1965

Description

FULLY TESTED!
Nice vintage
full range / Midrange speaker driver
made for Jensen in Canada by Radio Speakers of Canada (RSC). Model is 6BAV. Official size is 6 1/2 inches. Cross holes measurement is 6 1/4"(diagonal c/c fixation hole measurement). This speaker is dated 1965. This driver was officially used as a Midrange driver with the capacitor provided. However, under test without the capacitor, it appears to be an excellent full range radio speaker. These drivers were often used in stereo furniture hifi combo. Output power rated is unknown but this format could be in the 5 to 10 watt range in full range and maybe more in midrange mode. Coil resistance measurement is about 3.4 ohm so it is most probably a 4 ohm impedance driver. Tested with a low power PA amplifier and
sound is great with no anomaly noticed.
FULLY TESTED
All my Speaker drivers are tested with music at the proper impedance setting using a multiple impedance output PA amplifier from radio shack and a FLAC music player on AUX. My criteria is simple, to hear a nice clean sound with no distortion or scratchy sound due to defective voice coil or impurities accumulated on magnet, or due to any cone issues. The type of sound a driver delivers is not considered in the analyse as there are many types of sound depending of many construction aspect (IE: less bass/treble) and it's uses. One of the photos with listing may show the driver under test (if there are wires connected).
