Linear Phase floor-standing loudspeaker cabinet
Estimated Value
$50-$200 per pair, depending on working condition, model identification, and local market demand
A large vintage-style floor-standing loudspeaker cabinet branded 'Linear Phase.' The front baffle shows a rectangular horn-loaded high-frequency driver at the top, a small midrange driver below it, a circular bass reflex port, and a large woofer with an orange surround at the bottom. The cabinet is covered in black textured fabric or vinyl and appears to be part of a stereo speaker pair. The design suggests a mass-market hi-fi speaker rather than a high-end audiophile or antique piece. The visible 'Linear Phase' branding indicates a marketing term commonly used in consumer audio equipment to imply improved phase coherence.
