DukeOfTheEast Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I've been in the search for some speakers to finish my new setup (project debut carbon+marantz pm6004) and my dad offered me these speakers he found in his garage. Two Atlantean 210s. They have 2 10" woofers, 4" mid, and 1" tweeter. I have done a bit of research and 2 people have said the 110 model (with only 1 10" woofer) is a decent speaker and about two others said that they're probably shit "house brand" speakers. I don't know/trust anyone from either of these sources, but does anyone immediately know anything about or have any experience with these speakers? EDIT: Here's a shitty little picture [larger if you click through]. It includes a fuse on the faceplate that blows when too much power is sent to the speaker to protect the drivers from being blown. Kind of a cool feature. I could take a picture of the woofers/mid/tweeter if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allenh Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I've never seen or heard of them so expect they are a US market item and can't help on an opinion or history but if it were me I would try them and see what they sound like. If the drivers and crossover capacitors are in good condition and you like the sound other peoples opinions can be helpful but ultimately don't mean a lot.

allenh Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Have a look at this page as there is some good info there and it looks like they are worth a try. http://www.stereophile.com/content/mystery-speakers-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeOfTheEast Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Yeah, I've read that page and a few others, but most refer to a series numbered "I, II, III, and IV" but very few references to 210s. I'll let everyone know as soon as I have the opportunity to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I took it that yours were series 2 but not knowing them it's hard to know what was produced and how the numbering worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
